August 11 2014 Disney Magic 5 Night Mediterranean

Hi Jimmy,

I've read many reviews of the shore excursions, some good, some bad, most have better experiences when travelling without children, some have toured the region on private tours arranged on their own.

Have you done the disney shore excursions? What is your take on the ports we'd be docked at? What is something easy that you think younger children might enjoy?

I'm thinking of taking it easy, swim, explore the ship in the morning, have lunch on board then disembark/ explore the cafes at port and explore the towns on foot at our own time. The girl is 5 and i do not think long rides on coach buses would benefit her or us much, don't want to fly all the way to barcelona to take such a lovely cruise only to have a preschooler crank up and sour the mood.

oh well, looks like i may have to do the land tour of Italy another time.

Anyone else signing up for the shore excursions?

Cheers!

We are doing this back to back with the repositioning cruise.

Myself(Sean 48), Crystal(38), Daughter Daytona (12), Son Geoffrey(9) and my mother.

We did all of these ports in 2012 as part of a 12 day cruise. Any questions about them ask away.

How difficult was it to do Pisa on your own? My daughter (11) wants to see it but not spend much time there. Also, is it far to the train that takes you there?

I just wanted to know if when you went on your trip did you see if they are selling a glass bulb ornament of Magic DLC 2014 at the ship gift shop?
Also if you happen to see the 2014 Castaway Cay glass bulb could you tell me about that also?
