As some of you might have read, this is our first trip to Europe. I can not tell you how excited we are to be going. After much discussion we decided on Paris and DLP... We are celebrating our 15 year anniversary in the city or lights and love. Ooh La la...
So far here our plans...
We will be flying from Orlando to JFK then on to CDG.. We went with premium economy, and are hoping to get a offer to upgrade to business... please keep your fingers crossed for us and some extra pixie dust... or any tips on getting a bump up at the gate... we are Flying Delta/ Air France
On the first part of our trip we will spend 5 night in Paris... We decided on the Renaissance Paris Arc de Triomphe Hotel, we did upgrade to a king room, which is a very important feature and a necessity for us, as DH is tall 6'4" and has had back surgery plus he is a bed hog, I have an issue with my neck and shoulder and so sleeping comfortably is a must for us both... so that we can get up and go the next day.
We will move to DLP for 3 nights staying at Newport Bay Club, in a Compass Club lake view room... Which I will say was a last minute change.. we were still debating between Newport Bay and Sequoia Lodge, in standard rooms, but the bed situation with double beds made me nervous. It states 1 large double bed or 2 double beds... When I made the call
So I called WDW and asked to be transferred to DLP, I had made a couple of earlier calls in last weeks as a dry run and to get info...which does vary some what....also if you don't get through or the call disconnects, or you get a CM that speaks French only, keep trying... I was very specific when making my request. So I requested to please be transferred to DLP to make a room reservation, and I need someone that speaks English...as my French is " tres peu" (very little). I got a lovely CM who was so helpful and really just lovely... She was "magnifique"... after talking with her, she offered me to book through the UK, which had a offer for 25% off the room rate and free half board... I said I was interested, so when she looked it up she said, Wow they have just added in the compass club room with a lake view.. which I thought there is no way that's in my budget... after she did some converting from British pounds to dollars... which I did as well... It was only 200.00 dollars US more, sold... I said book it S'il vous plait... I did use my Amex card, as there are no fees for this type of international charge...
Soooo
We are staying in a Compass club room with Lake view, king bed, 4 day PH tickets, access to the Compass Club which serve's a hot American breakfast, and tea time w/ snacks and drinks, plus another meal in the parks or hotel of our choosing, and 1 extra FP per person per day... She did say in the evenings that the Compass Club offers desserts and snacks, also she stated that there are drinks available all day the Compass Club room? but I can not find anything on this... Anyone have any info on this?
Then we will be using the Disney Magical Shuttle to get back to CDG for our flight home...
Now to get a plan of sorts in place for Paris site's and DLP dinning reservations...
Any thoughts or suggestions are always much appreciated.
Merci
