EBTA 2014...Across the Atlantic we go!!!

[JLSE50]

Maybe a meet and greet for these kids?

or linked dining?

or e-mailing to each other before we go?

or a kids' DIS page for our cruise (do we have one already?).

How about a yahoo group? It is more private than the DIS and I think you have to be 13 on here for your own account. If the kids don't have their own email address, they can use a parents and the parent can monitor what the child is reading/posting if they like.

Let me know if there is any interest and I will set it up.

Can anyone explain more to me about the dine and play, or whatever it is called. Where you go to the main dinning room with your kids, they serve them quickly and then a CM takes them down to the clubs? How does this work and where do you sign up for that? It sounds like a nice mix of both worlds, eating as a family but also able to enjoy the rest of the meal casualy with my husband while the kids play.

We did it on our cruise, we just mentioned to our servers at the start of dinner that dd would like to do dine and play on the evenings she wanted to go. Some nights she was having too much fun and didn't want to miss anything
We were on late dining and they just fed the kids straight away then some cm's would wander around the dining room like the pied piper collecting kids

I'm definitely up for that - would be great for my DS to get chatting to some kids before we go. I think he would really enjoy that. I'll wait to see if there's any other interest in this.

I would definitely be interested in joining the page once it is started.

Hello is anyone here? Nobody has posted in more then a week!

Everyone was busy with the holiday! Aquaduck and I took the time this weekend to really look in to our trip, excursions and the Disney portion of the time, along with hotels and tours I'm Barcelona. He is spoiled and wants to stay at the W near the port again which is not going to happen (not very kid friendly).

If you want to start conversation, ask a question about a topic. How about, what is everyone looking the most forward to? For me, I am very excited for the 8 sea days and no cell phones/internet!

We will be staying near the airport as well as we have a 6am flight out on Monday morning. This is my third time and the rest of the group's second time in Barcelona so we won't be staying long. We are thinking about doing a tour of the soccer stadium on Sunday.

We took the train to Monserrat our last time in Barcelona and it was amazing. Was very easy to do on our own.

I posted the following on our FB page and wanted to post here as well for anyone who may not be on FB.

Since there seem to be a number of us interested in the Gourmet Walking Tour through We Love Malaga. Maybe we should consider getting a group together for a private version of the tour. I would be happy to look into it for those interested. Open to everyone and it seems to be very family friendly. You can read more about the tour here.

It is 3 hours, includes some tastings and a historical walking tour. Let me know what you think.

PM me or post on this thread if you are interested.

You will love Camp Nou. We took the girls while in Barcelona in 2011. Very interactive and fun.

Me and my oldest DD went before the 2007 WBTA and both agreed it was amazing. I'm planning to take all 3 girls this year after the cruise. We are only spending one night in Barcelona this time, mainly to visit Monserrat.

How old were the girls then? I know aquaduck will love it but his sister will only be 7 and while she is on a soccer team, she isn't into watching sports. Do you think she would like it?

My DS was almost 5 when we went and he enjoyed it and he was not a huge sports fan at that age.

They were 15,10 and 8. My husband and the two oldest girls played soccer and watch soccer but we all enjoyed the tour greatly. We did the self guided with those electronic devices. I'm not a sports fan at all but I found the history of FC BCN and the collection of memorabilia really cool. The gift shop had some really neat and unique items too.

I think both kids will enjoy it.

My ds would be interested too. He just turned 10, my other D's will be 8 Christmas eve and he probably would be less involved.
