First of all, I see that it is your birthday, so Happy Birthday!!

Second, congratulations on getting your Cabana!! Very exciting news.

Finally, I love your pictures from Disneyland Paris! I want to go there so much, hopefully one day I make it there. I love the Dooney too - I am quite a fan, but they put out bags faster than I can buy them lol

More wonderful food pix !!! Karin you are making me hungry and a bowl of cereal has lost it's appeal

The brunch buffet is just wonderful! Tom and I are not huge buffet lovers, but we both LOVE this buffet!

Hey Karin
Wow your Palo brunch looks amazing, I wouldn't know where to start!
Everything looks yummy

We really enjoyed brunch. And as you noticed, everything was so yummy, but I started to feel full too soon.

Brunch looks so fabulous.
It's so depressing when you talk about packing up...I hate that part...

Having to pack to leave the ship is one of the worst parts of a vacation. Luckily we had our first DVC stay still ahead of us.

Hi Karin!

I've missed a lot but went back and read a few pages.

DLRP and Italy again? You have some pretty awesome weekend trip destinations!

Congrats on the cabana, Palo, and Remy!

 

[dizneeat]

Checked all this out on your pretrippie , and again I love the bags !!!!

Thanks for checking it out twice, Rosie!
Having so many active threads running, I never know where to post all the news and updates.

I really love my new D&Bs!

I love the bags! The metal signs are really cute too! Have a great trip!

Jill in CO

They have pretty similar bags for DL and I was so sad as we have pushed back our trip to California by a year.
Now, imagine my excitement when I found those bags!

Thanks for the update from DLP Karin

Great photos of the new castle show

LOVE the bags

Glad you like it, Linda!
The castle show is absolutely AWESOME!!!!!

Karin,
Oh to be in disneyland Paris with you!!

Oh, I just wish I could take you all! Only downside is that if you are having fun the time seems to fly by even faster.

 

[dizneeat]

Brunch looks yummy.

Hope you are having a ball at Disney in Paris.

Brunch is one of the really hard things to get! It's just awesome.

DLRP was so much fun and so was Italy!

IMG I have never seen Donney DLP bags I LOVE them. The retro signs are awesome too!!!
Have a great time!!!

I was so surprised to see them too!
I had seen just two designs, and I remember the princess one being one of them and I never had any desire for those and suddenly I was SO surprised to see those bags.

LOVE your bags!!! And the show on the castle!!

I'm planning on buying a new itty bitty D&B on the Dream- I love the wristlets!

I'll be waking up in 12 hours to shower and go!! WOOOHOOOOO!!!!!!!

Ellen, I cannot believe you are off the DREAM already again! Now, did you buy a D&B?
The show on the castle was absolutely wonderful! So worth having to fight for a spot in front of the castle an hour early!

Have a safe trip!

Thank you, Debbie! Hope everything is okay with you! Every time Greece is in the news Tom and I worry about you.

 

[dizneeat]

Safe travels!!!

Thanks Christine!

I'm caught up again and stuffed with yummy food! Well, not really - but in my dreams I am. Funny thing is I really don't each much - especially at one sitting - so I don't know how I will ever SURVIVE Palo Brunch? It's a tough job but someones gotta do it! I'm so excited to try this all out and what a great experience for you all! Yes - you were on a tight schedule and such "rock stars" you are!!

DLP looks fun and I love the Dooney purse - so very cute! Now you're off to Italy - where? I lived for 2 1/2 years in Vicenza which is not too far from Venice - in the Northern part of Italy. I actually graduated high school there as I'm a "military brat". Good times....

I hope you guys are having a blast!!

Heather

There is just too much YUMMY food on those cruises. Thankfully they plan your visit to be a 2 hour one, so you can have breaks within courses (and plates! )

DLRP was really fun this time and so many fun new things to discover - including the Dooneys.
We went to Lignano, where we used to spend our summer vacation when we were kids. But we have seen a lot of the northern Italy cities when we were kids and we both love Venice.

Hi Karin! I missed your send off, but I'm with you in spirit! I'm all caught up on your TR - The Palo brunch is making me hungry, I haven't had breakfast yet.

Cute D&B bags! Enjoy your time in Italy - I'm looking forward to your pics!

Glad you are here now, Tammie!
We just love Palo brunch and I was so happy to score it again for the first one of our summer cruises. Looking at the pictures makes me hungry too and I DID already have breakfast.

I knew I need one of those D&B bags when I had seen them. Tom then "insisted" I needed two different styles.
Short trip reports (well, the trips themselves were short ) will be posted soon on my pre-trip report.

Palo's updates are just mouth watering so making me reconsider dinner and brunch We had pretty much decided on just brunch decisions decisions!

your D&B such wondferul designs.

Have a wonderful trip to italy

If you can get a Palo dinner, go for it! We usually do it on the pirate night as this is the menu that appeals to us the least.

We enjoyed our short weekend trip to Italy very much and I just LOVE my new Dooneys.

 

[dizneeat]

Karin, you are such a jet setter !!!
Hope you are having fun

Thank you, Linda, but living in the heart of Europe it's just easy to spend a weekend at the "neighbours".

We had lots of fun on both trips. Hope you are having fun on yours at the moment.

Oh my goodness the food looks so yummy!!!

I love the pics from DLP, and your purchases ....

hope you have fun in Italy!!

There were quite a few new things we "had to" buy at DLRP. We came home from Italy with loads of food - they have some yummy stuff too!

Looking forward to your report of Italy when you get back tomorrow !!!

I will start that report soon, Rosie!
I need to catch up on replies first.

Karin, sorry I haven't been around much lately but work and life have been crazy!!! Thanks to your links I am all caught up again. The cruise looks wonderful and I think it is now on my list for the future. Great that you had so much Pixie Dust early on with the CMs that you knew from before! The food looks great, and some beautiful shots of the scenery!!!

Great to have you back, Marv!
I can so relate to life being crazy.

If you haven't tried a Disney cruise yet - you really HAVE TO. They are so much fun, she says, who only wanted to do one cruise in her lifetime and soon is going to become a Platinum CC member.
We really were so lucky to find all our favourite CMs from the year before right away. It was such a fun time.
