Must Do List
LONDON

*Big Ben, House of Parliament, 10 Downing St.
-While you are in the area try one of the oldest pubs in London…
“The Red Lion”

-Don’t miss the FREE Beefeater Tours
-Do not just get in line as people line up super early. Go into the   gift shop and get your ticket or you will be turned away at the door and have to line back up again 
-Seeing everything here takes quite a while allow at least a half day

*Trafalgar Square
-Try to count the number of lions 

*Westminster Abby 
-Not open for Sunday Visits

*Windsor Castle 
-Always check website can have closures

*Wimbledon Location
-Location is the All England Club

*********************************************************************************
If you want to see multiple locations you can look into the
“London Pass” to see if it makes sense for you. It can save money if you want to see the majority of the items. 

There are also Hop on Hop off Bus Tours that you can take if you want to do less walking. Most hotel concierges can sell you either of these!

Happy Birthday Mickey!

Did you know today is Mickey's Birthday? Although his personality has evolved and changed over the years, kids' and families' love for Mickey has remained as popular as ever. From being the mischievous and adventurous troublemaker when he was first created, to a lovable, cheerful hero, Mickey has always been known as a universal symbol of friendship and family values. Walt, on his first television show as he surveyed Disneyland said,  "I only hope that we don't lose sight of one thing... that it was all started by a Mouse."  This famous Mickey Mouse, made his screen debut on November 18 several decades back as the star of the first sound cartoon, Steamboat Willie, and has, since then, become an indelible icon.

The Disney Dream-- A Grand Enterance

I will have to say that my words and pictures will not even give you and idea of how grand this ship is. To be able to smell the newness of this ship is indescribable. So see the grand lobby, the larger than my house chandler, the character carvings in the stair cases, and the beautiful colors, is even overwhelming to me. I have to set the scene for you. We are in the Disney Cruise Terminal, waiting for our assigned letter to be called. As we wait we are greeted by (I will blog about character experiences later) Minnie, Mickey and Goofy. Finally, it is our time to get on this grand ship. We walk up the glass walk way and we hear "The Disney Dream would like to welcome Classic Travel Connection". We all squeal like little girls, and we are here. We are on the newest and best ship in the travel industry. Oh, it is good to be the Zip-a-dee-doo-dah Diva. I love my job!!!
