Does anyone know if you can research shore excursion information before the date you sign up for them?

Yes. On disneycruise.com go to cruises and destinations select European ports of call and port adventures or you can select locations and port adventures.

I am new to Fish Extenders..Going to have one made for our family's 6th cruise but need some help to find out more about anyone else participating on this July 9th Med cruise

 

[corbett744]

Monstro...Thank you very much. I have looked and looked and hadn't figured it out. Again. Thankyou.

Checking back in. The new computer should arrive in a few days and I'll be able to spend more time on line - without fear of a permanent blue screen.
Monstro, looks like my DD is around the same age as yours.
To add to your list of definitely going, PIF:
Lcsmom's group - Susannah, Lee, Lauren(17)
Perhaps we could get someone to sticky a list on the front page?

Or we could use this site I started last year. Things are starting to slow down for me now so I could get it updated and keep it going. You'll notice it has a place for the fish extender, special occasions etc...

Really looked at your website. Would definitely be a great place to put all the latest plans. Loved flipping through your ports pages. I am inspired to arrange all our excursions by mid-April. I had forgotten Pompeii was an option. I need to find my book on Latin graffiti to bring along.
We are interested in the fish extender, but i am a little worried about the 11 days of goodies fitting in the suitcases.

Monstro Love the web site just signed up..very new to websites like this...want to get involved with FE for July 9th
How do you post on castaway so people will know to FE and we can meet some other fun people on the crusie

 

[Monstro]

OK. Great - let's get the website updated with everyone who is still on the cruise. If you'll send me a PM or post here with this info (in quotes), I'll transfer it to the website I have going and it will be easy to transfer it into a fish extender list. Include yes - fish extender if you want to participate. Leave blank if you don't.

Welcome Scott Family! The disboards are a great source for tips etc. You guys are going to have a great time. I'll try to inlcude tiips as they come to mind. It's a bit different beings that it is a Med cruise.

I'd try to get early dining if you have young kids.

 

[Monstro]

OK. I've added some castaways to the website. I've also started building the Palermo page.

At this point (109 days until we cruise), I've booked our flights, reserved a pedicure for my wife a massage for me, a few shore excursions through Disney as well as some private ones. I'm working on getting an apartment for Barcelona and figuring out Palermo, Rome, and Villefranche.

How's everyone else doing?

Here's the website again. http://magic2011.wikidot.com/castaways

Hi - We are on the 7/9 med cruise and we have booked two private tours with Romeinlimo and hope some others would join us. We are from NYC and are a family of 5(myself, DH, DD15, DD14, DS12). Presently have a small van ordered that sits 6 and would like to upgrade to one that sits 8 to save money. Here are some details and will provide more if your are interested:

Rome - Basic tour with a private guide for the Vatican. Asked for a reasonable place for lunch for no more than 45 minutes as we hope to stop at the Ferrari store(DH, DS love foreign cars!)and maybe the catacombs. This is around Via del Corso/Tomacelli - a stop of about 20 -30 minutes ( you can join us or walk around the area to sightsee or shop).

Naple/Pompeii/Amalfi- their basic tour with a private guide for Pompeii. Hope to have lunch at a reasonable place with a view. Thought of stopping at a beach on the way back so kids can check it out BUY honestly have not done research on this so don't know feasibility.

I am a little nervous about this but others seem to do private tours this way. It is definitely a money saver.

Hi All. Here are our details for Monstro to add to the list. Well done on your great work on the website!

Ann (DM) and Craig(DS) 15
Cabin 6636
Second Dining
from Fife, Scotland
no to fish extender -sorry
first cruise ever!

Just booked our flights cost far more than I'd planned -almost as much as our last flights to Florida 2 years ago!

We've been lucky enough to have holidayed in Rome and Sorrento a few years ago so hope to do our own thing there. My favourite things I want to see again in Rome are -St. Peters, Trevi fountain, Piazza Navona and maybe Pantheon. I'd love to see it all again -it's a fantastic city -but want to stroll and enjoy the gelato! Planning to take the hyrofoil over to Capri from Naples. I'd recommend a trip to Pompei and Vesuveus though.

May do a disney excursion at Palermo but not sure yet -more research needed!

Off to explore hotels in Barcelona. Any suggestions on transfers - airport to hotel & hotel to port? Really excited that new computer doesn't stall on DIS like old one.

 

[Monstro]

Thanks emma2, dazed and lcsmom. I've updated all your info on the site.

Emma2 - last time we were on this cruise, we went to Monaco and Eze. We absolutely loved Eze and are probably going back.

lcsmom.... I'm currently researching hotels or apartments for Barcelona as well. Let me know if you find any good deals and I'll do the same.

Thanks
Jeff

The Woodlands Texas.... Been there - Loved it! A girl of a family there guest played on my daughter's soccer team when we we're in Houston for a college showcase. We spent Sunday at their house. What a beautiful area. I asked my daughter to look up names in her journal.
