More so that a Disney cruise sometimes.
We are going on the adult trip in Sept. We have 1 pre-day and 2 post days. We haven't decided what to do with the post-days, but we will probably see some Chateaux in the Loire Valley.
The apple iphone only needs an adapter. But you'll need 2 different adapters, one for London & one for Paris, as the UK and France plugs are completely different. For the curling iron, it depends. You'll need to look closely at the tiny print on it and see if it's dual voltage or not. If it is, it will show that it can handle both 110-120V (USA) and 220-240V (London/Paris). If it *is* dual voltage, then all you'll need is an adapter (2 different ones like for the iphone). If it is *not* dual voltage, you'll need a converter. I'm going to suggest here, if it's *not* dual voltage, leave it at home, and buy yourself one that is. Curling irons don't work very well with converters. I've had a lot of problems with them, and just bought a dual voltage one.Requesting help from anyone that's been on the London/Paris tour. I'm going in August and was wondering if anyone can answer a few questions:
1) Do I need an adapter and/or converter for apple iphone & watch and curling iron?
Everyone is different, but I always like to arrive in a foreign country with at least a little bit of foreign currency on me. It doesn't happen often, but if something goes wrong with your transportation, you *might* have to take a taxi and get reimbursed at the hotel. And a lot of taxis don't take credit cards. I just feel better knowing I have at least a little bit of cash on me, because your dollars will be useless as soon as you land.2) Should I get some currency from my bank to take with me?
Yes, you will probably be able to use VISA for most transactions. But have some cash just in case, because you never know, you might want to eat something quick or buy a souvenir somewhere that doesn't take credit cards. Also, make sure your credit card doesn't charge foreign transaction fees. Those fees can really add up!3) Can I use my VISA for most transactions or is cash preferred?

I got the Apple World Travel Adapter Kit, which has adapters for all over the world. I've used the UK, Europe, and Australia adapters (and the North America one) so far and hope to use more in the future!Requesting help from anyone that's been on the London/Paris tour.

Thank you all So Much for this valuable information. I do have a couple more questions: 1) Since we'll be going a day early, I was wondering if an oyster card is recommended, and if so, should I buy it beforehand? 2) Does London have bike-share? 3) Will we have the same guides in London & Paris? 4) How do you suggest tipping each of them?
Waves. Adult Only Aventure in September. Our time draws ever so near. Can't wait to meet you all.
Same here! We're very excited for our first trip abroad, and our add-on days at DLP! 40 more days!
