tell your sister if she wants to be idolized, my daughter is the one to hang with. Taylor will make friends with anyone anywhere! She amazes me. I am sure there will be plenty of teens there. If you look on the medheads meet link it looks like there are other families with teens going. She'll have fun!

I hope she will. She's a teenager and she just has the horrible attitude that comes with that.

Was watching a holiday programme last evening about Sicily and they were mentioning the volcano Stromboli which is still in almost constant eruption and looks good at night. Just wondering if we could persuade Disney to sail within sight of this when we leave Sicily.

Just a thought would be nice to view at night.

Just been delving a bit and found the following link to Stromboli- anyone interested. looks as if many of the cruise ships stop to watch this.

Hey..did you ever get your letter?

 

[PrincessJasmine08]

I got no letter. I emailed my TA and asked her if it had come to her and she said no.

 

[silver7]

I never got a letter either. I asked DCL about it and they are supposed to send out another one.

[Skallywag]

Sorry what have I missed - should we have had a letter from Disney?

Never have myself and wonder if someone can enlighten me what it is about.

It was one esentially saying "get ready, we have not forgotten you, there are excursions a'comin" or something like that

They're such teases. Just release the excursions!

We transferred our booking to Dreams Unlimited perhaps that is why we have never received anything.

[PrincessJasmine08]

We transferred from DCL to Cruise Planners....I see a theme. Transferring=no letter?

 

[silver7]

Nope I booked directly through Disney.

Well, it looks likes they may be getting closer to adding the excursions. At least they are mentioning them on the website - actually talking about "excursions" not just "places to visit". One can only hope.
I am happy to say I have booked our flights Now, as long as everyone in our group cooperates (we are slightly dysfunctional )
I still need to book our flight from Paris to Barcelona. Brenda, I think you mentioned some European websites kinda like expedia at some point - could you give me that info again? Also, have you heard of Vueling Airlines?? All one way trips are$$$$. Does anyone know if there is a problem booking round trip and just not using the second portion? It is MUCH cheaper.

Thanks for the help!

I have been looking for flights also and found iberia.com to have reasonable flights although they only go into orly, not charles de gaulle. We are going from heathrow to barcelona to paris then back to heathrow. I am trying to work out a trip to disney paris along with all the other sights after the trip. I am not sure if we should stay in paris or at disney paris..either way we'll be metro'ing somewhere.
I am looking forward to the excursions. Hopefully next week we'll have more information. It'll be my xmas present to myself!

Hi Everyone,

Lisa just wonder who you are flying into Paris with as know most of the ways of gettings flight deals from UK but not France. Will have a delve into ones I know and see what comes up. Probably Air France would be useful as well as Iberia. Would never recommend them for a long haul but short would be o.k.

Was just checking and Opodo were coming up with some reasonable flights and times - direct from CDG to BCN. Also looked on Air France site and they are showing flights on the 15th June at £61 single and not bad timing. They do show also some Swiss air ones taking over 4 hours. Flight time showing is 1hr.45 minutes. Go to either Air France site or www.Opodo.co.uk.
Hope this helps.
