Hi,

We are booked too. We are from Grand Rapids, Mi. Looking at airfare prices as well. At this time thinking of coming in the day before, and staying 2 days after the cruise ends. So excited, can't wait for some of the shore excursions.

It will be out first Transatlantic flight. Kind of nervous about that. What's the best when to schedule something like that.

It will be me, my DH, and DD (22). Her college graduation present.

Morning all, yesterday we confirmed our booking for the 1st June Med cruise and we are all bouncing off the walls with excitement.

We are from Lancashire, England. We went on the Eastern Caribbean cruise on the Disney Magic in May last year. Best 7 days of my life...

So once they confirmed Disney Magic was coming to Europe, well how could resist.

So there will be 5 adults travelling, which is made of my wife, Tracey, DD Lauren (10), Matthew (5) and me Neil.
My Inlaws Kath, Dave a brother in law Steven will be travelling as well.

So let the planning commence and look forward to seeing you all next year..
(Next year doesn't sound that long off does it?

I've updated the spreadsheet with the info that has been sent and added the Disnames of the new comers - welcome.

This website is driving me nuts - not that it is a long drive - I've never seen it this slow and unresponsive for this long.

Anyway, I've updated the roll call with the info I have been given and added a few new DISnames - welcome.

Hi krispykreme97

Was you on Disney Magic 7th May 2011, Eastern Caribbean cruise? I think I remember your name. If so, looks like we are going to be cruising again together.
See you soon.

I don't want to bring up any debate at all but are any of you taking your kids out of school to do this? My DD will be 14 at the time and we think that due to scheduling reasons we might have to change to this cruise (we were booked on a 7 night in August). That would mean that my DD would have to miss the last 4 days of school. I'm fine with her missing school but unsure about the last 4 days. I don't think they do a ton in those last few days but I'm not sure. I took her out for a few days last month for vacation and our school district is absolutely ok with it. I'm almost positive that we're going to change either way so you'll probably see me on here very soon!

Our two youngest will be missing the last week of school. We have taken them out before, but we are in CA, and CA has a state law that if your kids are going to miss 5 or more days in a row they can do "independent study". Which means they aren't marked absent, and they are given their work to do ahead of time. We have never taken them out for the last week before, so I'm not sure how that will work with the independent study, but I guess we will find out.
Of all the vacations they have missed school for, this one is WELL worth it. They are going to get to be surrounded by history! I plan on checking out plenty of books about the cities we will be visiting so we can study about them before we go there.

I completely agree! She will learn things on this trip that she could never grasp by looking at a textbook. Our school district says that you can take your child out for a max of 10 days without question. We went on a Dream cruise last month and I took her out for 5 days and it was no problem. They just have you fill out a prearranged absence form and the teachers gave her the work ahead of time (though most just said "have fun" and gave her nothing). I like your idea about studying the cities before you get there. I'm going to have to steal that!
