7/26/2014 - 12-Night Mediterranean Cruise (with Greece)

[dizneeat]

Yes yes yes!

We were on the Dream in 2011. We were latecomers to the FE but folks were kind and we were included.

My family made the wood picture frames with the sea and sand painted on. Took us forever but it was a blast. My husband kept asking why we were making so many frames. I hope you got one.

We aren't late to FE this time!

What a coincidence. Very cool. Glad you are here.

-- Sarah

I knew your name looked familiar!

YES, we HAVE your frame. It is such a cute reminder of our fun times on the Dream.

Now we have even MORE reason to look forward to this cruise.

 

[dizneeat]

And no I have never been to Europe before (don't care much for flying, although I do it quite a bit).

Have you been to Europe?

And a correction: this will be my fourth Disney cruise, second time on the Magic.

-- Sarah

This will be our first time on the Magic and we will finally have been on all four ships!
We are doing a back to back on the Fantasy this summer ....... hoping for a Hurricane free cruise.

We live in Europe, in Austria. Let me know if you have any questions, I'd love to help you out!

 

[sarahste]

Of course! So cool!

I may take you up on the kind offer. We need info and are just starting our planning. So excited!!!! And always so wonderful to "meet" the helpful community here.

Planning and talking about the cruise is half the fun, isn't it? Just let me know if you have questions.

My sister and I have booked and are hoping another 4-6 friends will be joining us!

Looks like I need to change my countdown clock!

This is part of a 3 month European trip, starting with a stopover in Hong Kong Disneyland on our way from Australia. After the cruise we intend to spend time in Spain, the UK, France, Switzerland and end in Paris Disneyland before flying home again!

I love planning!

 

[dizneeat]

Not much going on here ...... but we are getting close to the 400 day mark, so I thought I'd pop in and wish you all a great summer!

Anyone going on a cruise or to WDW this summer?

A three month European trip? Sounds awesome. Let me know if you need any help with travelling in Europe.

Yeah, another European on board!

This is our second Med cruise, can't wait

 

[dizneeat]

This is our second Med cruise, can't wait

It will be our first Med one, but we have been on all the other ships several times, so I cannot wait to get on the revamped Magic!

We went on DCL Alaska in May. It was fablous! In a couple of weeks we are going to Vero Beach and then we have a trip on the Fantasy in October. Once that is done, I will be in full planning mode for this cruise!

 

[gatacmke]

We are cruising on the Fantasy July 6th. I am thinking of booking this cruise while on board. It just seems like a perfect trip; my 12 yo son always wants to go to Italy and the 14yo dreams of Greece. I will let you know if we book and will be joining you!

Wow! Alaska! That is still one of my dreams. I was kind of trying to include it into our 2015 trip to California. Maybe I can smuggle it in as an "add-on".
We still have yet to find time for Vero, but what I have seen in TR looks awesome, so it is on my bucket list as well.
We are doing a b2b on the Fantasy this summer during our 33 day summer vacation and once we are back the Med cruise planning will be in full swing. We do have another Dream cruise in February, but we have been so often, so planning is on a minimum.

Okay, back to Alaska - any pics you could share with all of us?

Great! Please come back and let us know if you decided to join us!
