Friday, May 22, 2026 I started my day by forgetting my phone. I sat down and Keith went back for it. He will definitely have more steps than I will today. I was outside the laundry area of the neighboring hotel. There was a little boy playing on a tablet and a dad asleep on […]

Thursday, May 21, 2026 There are big face balloons of Mickey and Minnie. We have thought they were the actual characters so many times when we see them coming around a corner or out of the corner of our eyes. I was going to take a picture of a bunch of Mickeys when they attacked
Wednesday, May 20, 2026 People staying at Disney hotels get in an hour earlier than regular people. We got up early. We took showers. We found a major flaw in our cute hotel. The shower water goes from SCALDING to FREEEEEZING with no warning. Oh. It was bad. Keith heard me making little schrieks and

Tuesday, May 19, 2026 We asked for help in buying train tickets from Paris to Disneyland. We knew where we were going, but couldn’t find the right machine. The official train website said for a single ticket we didn’t need to buy a train card and we could buy from the blue machines by the
Monday, May 18, 2026 Our very lovely breakfast buffet had Coke in bottles as a beverage option. Wow. We considered flying to Paris. I’m so glad we took the train. No security hassle, no being there early, comfy seats, good views. Sometimes France looked like the POTD, but sometimes it looked like this or this
Sunday, May 17, 2026 We got up at 5:45 so we could get to our excursion bus before 6:45. We are really really really not used to getting up early. Our guide, Pablo, promised that he would keep it quiet so we could all sleep a little bit. He lied. About every 10 minutes he
Saturday, May 16, 2026 We are off the boat! We saw the back of the boat for the first time. We got off with Julie and Kristine, waited 75 minutes for passport control (they took everyone’s fingerprints!), then contacted rideshares to get going. Then they were gone! So weird. They went to La Sagrada Familia.
Friday, May 15, 2026 Minnie was waving to us (personally) as we came back onboard yesterday. Nice. Dinner last night in Animators’ Palette was great fun. We were given sheets to draw a person on and then they took them and animated them for an end-of-the-meal video. It started with just showing us everyone’s pictures,
Thursday, May 14, 2026 The third of our coastal Spain stops was as lovely as the last two. Each town definitely has its own vibe (how cool am I?). I like the water everywhere of Cadiz, the pizzazz of Malaga, and the welcoming feeling of Cartegena. We went into a lot of stores on the
Wednesday, May 13, 2026 I took my weekly medicine yesterday and wasn’t feeling breakfast, so Keith went up without me. We always look at the families walking around with their full plates and no table picked out. I would not like doing that. We always pick a table and have one person sit while the
