Thank you! It's a great trip, you'll have a wonderful time.

You are very welcome! Ingrid is great and will customize the tour for you. Better check her out soon as she's in high demand (also featured with Rick Steves). I highly recommend Can't Be Missed Tours also.

Here's mine. http://www.disboards.com/threads/magic-in-the-med-aug-10-17-tons-of-photos.3161128/

Wonderful review, I loved the photos. Your Dd's Disney wardrobe is amazing! We will be on the Wonder in December 2016 out of Galveston, so I was very interested in your experience. My daughters are older and have been on their share of Disney cruises since they were about 5, now they are 16 and...

We had a smallish FE group a couple of years ago on a Mediterranean cruise. The gift I remember most was a clear bag chock full of candy from Ireland. It was all new to us, we enjoyed discovering what everything was. That year I sewed neckbands with water-storing crystals inside that kept you...

Just signed up today. We are JoAnn (me), my daughters Stephanie (19) and Rachel (16) from Waco; and my MIL Norene from San Jose, CA. I will sign up for the FE's with Amy.

I'm bumping up my trip report for all of you Mediterranean trip folks this summer.

We used Can't Be Missed Tours to Sorrento and Pompeii. We were there on a national holiday with a lot of traffic but they got us back with no trouble. The bus ride was beautiful. Pompeii is very hot, but if she is very interested in it I think she'll enjoy. Watching some videos about it...

Thanks for reading. I really enjoy doing travel reports -- lets me live it all over again. (I even reread it myself, sometimes.) I'm excited for everyone who's going to the Med this summer. Sure, it's hot as heck, but what a wonderful experience and so much to see! JoAnn

We took taxis (2 for seven people) from the hotel to the port. It's not that far but too far to walk.

You will love it! If you have the opportunity, take a tour with Runner Bean Tours in Barcelona. Even if you don't have a reservation, show up and they will probably be able to take you. JoAnn

We've always cruised with my MIL, FIL and BIL -- "we" being a family of husband, wife, and two girls who are now teens. We always sit together for dinner because everyone does something different. Our youngest daughter loves to meet new friends and jumps up from the table the minute she can to...

For the first time, we did private tours. The savings and flexibility is what finally won me over. We had four in our family, plus my three inlaws, and looking at the prices of Disney excursions was making me very, very worried. So, I read every trip report and the port tours and destination...

I am enjoying your report and the photos -- photos can never be too large! I don't know why the first night out always seems to be the roughest, although of varying degree. We did the Med last summer on the Magic -- my girls were 16 and 13. My 13 year old loves the club but the older one would...

Sorry, I just saw your post -- for some reason, I didn't get an email. Hmmmm.... about the hotel, not sure. It was OK. For us, it worked out because we had a sort of suite --- that sounds grand but it was pretty basic -- it had a small room attached to the larger room. The smaller room was oddly...

We did the Mediterranean in August of last year. In Villefranche, we used Ingrid for a private tour. We had seven of us (two grandparents, an uncle, mom, dad and two teens) and rode comfortably in her van. You'll feel like you're with an old friend. http://kultours.fr/ In Rome and for...

There is no sugar coating it -- it's hot and humid, and I'm from Texas, so I know hot and humid. If you could go in the Spring or Fall, I'm sure it would be a different story, but August in the Mediterranean was pretty darn hot. I also think it's not a matter of age so much as physical...

We did a lot of walking on La Rambla. The Boqueria is about half way between the Columbus statue and the Plaça de Catalunya. You could go off the bus at either end and walk. I booked with Kultours way in advance and send her a reminder email every once in a while to make sure we were still...

Yes, we were on the blue bus. There are headphones with many different languages and you listen to a prerecorded description. The bus went by the Olympic stadium but not the soccer stadium. They drive by the beach. (We walked to the beach later on our own.) If in general, do people speak...
