Yay for Disney Dollars!
While giving Calvin a bath a few nights ago, I was telling him about how you're going to be able to go to a preview for the mini-land and how fun that would be, he started talking about traveling to Europe in general and entertaining the idea of visiting DLP. This is huge progress! If I would have mentioned DLP to him 5 years ago, it would have been a HUGE no. There is too much too see over there than waste a day at DLP was his reasoning. But now he's considering it. Not sure when, but hopefully sooner than later.
Yeah! As long as you plant the idea of visiting Europe in his head and he responds well to it, I can see you come to my side of the pond and our version of the parks soon.
And you are right - there IS a lot to see here, so much history and so many countries that are so different, yet so close together.
Will you be able to eat at the new restaurant?
The restaurant was open and we were able to "peek in", but only through a window. We were able to secure a reservation on our second day at DLP later that summer though. Guess, that's not too bad, as by then they will have worked out all the kinks.
And you're so sweet to think of Calvin, but you really don't have to do that. I'm just super excited to see all your pictures and hear about your experience!
I have been thinking about DLP for a while, but now I REALLY want to go! I already have a huge travel wish list. I have no idea when or how I am going to manage to fit DLP in.
I can't wait to read your report on the new Ratatouille ride.
HAVE A GREAT TRIP!!!!
Have a great time!
Hope you and Tom have an absolutely AMAZING time and can't wait to hear all about it!
It's been a long time since I've been on here but I can't wait to catch up on your threads I hope all is well with you and your brother . I am so excited to to catch up, Your going to make my weekend!
Have fun on your DLP trip!
Hope you are having a great time in DLP.
Just popping in to say Hi!!!
You would love it here too. It is different, yet, so similar, if that makes sense. And why not take a trip to Europe, get yourself on one of those Med cruises that DCL is offering (or even a Baltic ) visit some of the countries here (must see Austria ) and finish it all off with a trip to DLP. How do I do as a TA?
I hope to have the weekend trip report up by next week. I am FINALLY on vacation and have to catch up on everything, including my own TRs.
Hey Karin -
Welcome Back! Hope you had a wonderful time in DLP. Can't wait to hear all about it!
Welcome back!
Welcome back! I was wondering the other day when we were going to hear from you
Thank you! I took me a few days to grasp the fact that I am on my blissful 9 week break. I am really enjoying it so far, especially NOT having to get up with an alarm clock!
Well at least you got a reservation at the restaurant to make up for that 'peek' Which, BTW, very awesome that you're going again in 40 days! Very cool
We cannot wait to try the new restaurant - menu looks interesting and the new French area is so neat.
I can't wait to hear about the ride and see your pictures!
Yes, Karin, you would make a great TA! Your trip reports alone are enough to have me sold. Unfortunately our bank account is not as big as my trip wish list.
I think, that is a common problem - the bank account not being big enough for the travel wish list. I have the added problem that I don't have enough time to travel either.
I'm sure we would love DLRP. I get what you mean about mean about it being different, but at the same time so similar. That is exactly how we felt about going to Disneyland in CA as opposed to always being in WDW. One of our funniest moments was walking into Disneyland and realizing that we needed a park map! Here at WDW we have no need at all for a park map!
OMG how funny is it, that you needed a park map. My huge problem is that I want to go on attractions that are in a different park. Or I turn one direction and tell Tom that we are going to use this or that shortcut and he points out that we are on the wrong continent for that.
I am adding your proposed itinerary to my trip wish list because the whole trip does sound really good. Just remember the list is already quite long. I will llet you know when we decide to head your way.

I hope I can hold you to that promise sooner rather than later.
I can't wait to see your pictures and video.
