France is 9 hours ahead of California, so it can feel tough. DLP opens at 10 but it will feel like 1am. It closes at 8pm, but it feels like 11am. Your appetite will be off as well. I think maybe Monday arrive, Tuesday mooch around Paris, Wednesday perhaps we could all hook up in Versaille, Thursday DLP? By then you would be adjusted. My tips for preparing is try to get up and go to bed as early as you can before flying. Sleep on the plane over as much as possible. Avoid alcohol and caffiene on the flight. Drink plenty of Orange Juice when you arrive and try to go to bed no later than Midnight local time on your first night. That way within 24 hours you should be ok. Drop me a line Lulu and I can try to give you a call.

Originally Posted By u k fan I think we need to firm up a few dates soon if we can as my family may not stay at DLP for the whole of trip and I want to make sure we're there to meet as many people as possible. Also, I know Mum will not be happy without another installment of the Baloo DLP Tour, but I'm thinking the day LuLu visit's won't be the best day for that!!!
Originally Posted By Stageman We're there from the 26th (When the Eurostar arrives) to the 30th (evening). I think we're meeting up with the Baloos on the 26th to get some AP's but other than that name a date and we'll be there.
Originally Posted By u k fan We've been floating the idea of hiring a car and spending a couple days away, returning back to DLP to catch our train home. We had been planning to go further a field for the last couple of days of our stay, but if it works better we'll do it the other way round. Stageman, Dave tentatively mentioned that we should perhaps all meet up sometime before the holiday. Perhaps we should try to arrange something so we can compare plans and synchronise watches!!!

Originally Posted By davewasbaloo I did wonder, but by that time I wondered if a rest was in order - i.e. we could have 3pm ressies and watch the parade then go?
Originally Posted By Stageman A rest - what's that then ? ;o). We're all in the parks few a days so it won't make that much difference to us uk folks. I guess it's your call Lulu, I imagine later is better giving you more exploring time.?
Originally Posted By LuLu 3 at Walt's is fine... I'll probably be glad for a rest... whatever Dave wants to organize is fine with me, I'll just follow along
Originally Posted By davewasbaloo In all seriousness, I need to get dates straight for planning purposes, and as Stageman said, time is ticking. Baloos are there 18 - 29 June - Marriott Vacation Club TDLFAN - 19 June Lulu - last Thursday in June - 28th? Off Site Stageman and Mrs Stageman - 27th - 30th? Holiday Inn UKFAN Posse - TBC? Looks like Walt's for 3pm on the 28th. Anything else anyone? We are likely to be making ressies for also the Silver Spur, the Steakhouse and the Lucky Nugget while there. Annette's is a given, but they do not take reservations. I promised UKFAN MUM the continuation of the tour. And the 28th is the commando tour in an attempt to bag every e-ticket and unique DLP experience (not for the weak hearted). Still to hear from Disney Pete.
