Anyone know the best way to get from Charles DeGaulle airport to Eurodisney?

I'm told there's shuttle buses.

The Disney Magic Shuttle will drop you off at your Disney hotel if you are staying on site.

There is the TGV that only takes about 12 mins as well but it is from a different terminal so you have to hop over to it after you pick up your luggage, it brings you to the train station at Disney Village. If staying in a Disney hotel you can drop the luggage off upstairs in the station and they will take it to the hotel for you, you can go straight to the parks and then go back get your luggage when checking in later.

I'll say one think for Sinn Fein, after the scandal in UK about MPs having second jobs, no fear of any of them having a second job! Not too many had first jobs before they became politicians in the first place!

Haha LOL thats class mate.

Got the phone call at 1pm on Monday my wee girl was a contact at her after school on Friday. So I'd to leave work and go and get her.

The nearest test centre available for me that afternoon was f**king Ballycastle at 2.30pm. It's an hour and a half drive for me.

Hadn't even had my lunch yet was driving down the road f**king starving eating the remainder of my wee girl's lunchbox to keep me going!

Negative result came through Tuesday morning which was good she only missed a couple of hours school on the Monday. I know other parents from the after school that haven't had their results back yet.

Heading to Cork for a few days. I have a five year old and an 18 month old so it's a long drive for them.

We are gonna hit the road early then go to the zoo for a couple of hours then get lunch and hopefully them two will sleep for an hour or so in the car.

What I'm looking to know is there anywhere good for kids then round say Thurles, Cashel, Fermoy direction for one last stop before we go on to the end?

We would generally eat well during the week but Christ have i a sweet tooth. The kids sweet cupboard gets raided pretty often and biscuits are my downfall. We are getting fed up with the same dinners week in week out so have taken up those Hello Fresh offers I've seen advertised so looking forward to trying those this weekend. Anyone else used them? I believe they are having problems with delivery to here due to Brexit.

I've got Hello Fresh meal a few times, normally only when they send me a 40 or 50% discount. The food is nice and definitely makes you try new things but the portions aren't great to be honest. Maybe I'm just a greedy bastard.

I was pricing up Centre Parcs for three nights in May / June time and the cheapest was nearly 700E (two adults two children), and then on top of that you would have to pay for your food, drink, any activities booked (you only get the pool included and even then you only get limited visits now with COVID).

By the time it all added up it would be cheaper for us to get away for a week in the sun all inclusive. And sure it could piss down all weekend in Longford if you are unlucky enough.

Is there anywhere you can get a full updated list off the countries where you do (or don't) need to quarantine from on return?

Trying to find one on the gov.uk or nidirect sites isn't as easy as it should be.

Not having people sit close to you in the cinema.

Not an uneducated assumption - it is close to being an Antrim club too. Out on its own - nearest other Co Down club is probably Carryduff or Tullylish?
Sounds like the game is tight enough.

Would be closer to Tullylish, they used to amalgamate under age teams together a few years ago.

We have a cruise booked for September which we aren't going on even if they are back allowing them at that stage, which I doubt. It has a couple stops in Italy.

Just holding off now hoping for a refund I've paid just over a grand for it so far. Not paying anything else now of course.

Already seen a few places down south's prices going up. Girl I work with is raging she said all year they weren't going abroad this year they were just gonna do a tour of a few places down south for 10 days or so. Now everyone's thinking the same and the prices are soaring.

Jet2 cancelling flights and holidays to Spain including Canary Islands this morning. Does this effect anyone? I am due to go to Lanzarote 1st week of June with the wife and kids. Haven't a clue what way this leaves me now or even what to do. Cancel and lose the deposit or wait and see?

I had us booked for May to Salou, the final payment was due this morning (I had already extended the date as long as I could) and it wouldn't let me cancel online, said I had to ring. So I said f**k it on Friday morning i'll ring now, thought I would forget to ring yesterday. Was on hold for about 40 mins. Got it cancelled then, lost my £180 deposit. If I'd waited less than a day to Saturday I'd have got the lot back! f**k.

Bump
Any suggestions for a decent Irish Bar in Krakow to catch the Tyrone Donegal game on Saturday night?

Pod Papagami might show it. Just off the square.
