June 27, 2007 10 Night - The Rodney Dangerfield of Med Cruises

[TDC Nala]

I won't be going to England! I may leave my laptop at home but not my Ipod.

I almost booked Disneyland Paris today but DVC says they have only released inventory through November 9.

We're thinking the same thing. It's a lot more expensive to fly to Paris though. And trying to find flights that don't go through London isn't easy either. I'll keep looking though.

They have relaxed there restrictions you can now bring your electronics, So London is now back on the table! You could always bring your electronics with you it is the trip home that was restricted.

Anybody registered in Barcelona hotels yet?

Our travelling companions called DVC yesterday and got a list of the hotels they're recommending, but were unable to make reservations at this time.

I checked them all in Expedia and Travelocity last night, but could only find one offering any reservations at this point. All the others said "no rooms available", etc.

Just curious as to what you guys are doing.

Okay here goes!
I have 1 night booked at Grand Mariner through Disney, However I just booked a PreCruise Tour so I will need to add a second night.
I have checked the GrandMariner Website they wont let you book into 2007 yet, I also e-mailed them & have yet to receive a response. It also looks like DCL is getting a 30 to 50% premium on the rooms!

What hotels make the DCL list?

Our friends booked through the Disney Vacation Club. Member services told them that DCL has affiliations with -
AC Barcelona
Grand Marina
Hasperia Presidente
Hilton Diagonal Mar
Hotel Atenea Mar

The only one I found through Travelocity was the Hotel Atenea Mar, which shows a room rate ranging from $152 to $216 for the three days prior to the cruise.

 

[TDC Nala]

I've spent a lot of time in Britain and I don't need to go there, and I don't need a hotel in Barcelona (planning to ride in on the overnight train from Paris).

All I need to do is get booked at Disneyland Paris once they release their inventory to DVC for next year...whenever that'll be.

Oh, and book that airfare. Washington-Paris, Barcelona-Washington.

I think we have two nights at the Hilton booked. (2 rooms for 4 people, still don't get the 3 people to a room thing) It was half the price of the pretty round place at the marina. Is that the Grand Mariner? May hafta switch if there's a 50% discount ...

Thank goodness we can fly into London again. Neither soccerdad nor golferdude will board a plane without iPods or a laptop spoiled, spoiled, spoiled ...

Yeah though Im on the fence about London, it might be to much for the Little ones! Not to mention Mom & Dad lugging 4 kids from London to Paris to Barcelona & back again, THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A VACATION YOU KNOW!

 

[BigBlueMan]

but I'll be on the September 2nd Eastern Caribbean cruise.

My offer from a while back still stands to get any info anyone wants about the ship, etc.

Soooooo... if theres a picture of anything specific you want, anything anyone wants me to check on, stuff like that, just let me know.

Maybe you want a picture of your cabin door, or I may just get some pictures of the most decorated cabin doors that I see to give you guys ideas.

Thats it i have been far to lazy i am going to have to get a map of Barcelona & scope out the situation!

 

[golfinwidow]

We are booked prestay through DCL ,but will change that pending price release from the hotels the closer it gets.

We are considering styaing in London beforehand too, but still undecided.

Blue, I would love one of 5018.

It's kind of early but at some point I will be trying to see if Cafepress will let me put a deceased comedian on tee shirts.

"Hey, Cafepress. I need some shirts of a dead guy. Let's go ... while we're young!"

I think it could work.

If they won't, I'm sure we can find someone who will. That design is WAYY too good to not use!

 

[Soccermom-Cheri]

Does anyone have anything to add o the web site? It's gettin' kinda stale ... I can update it, but it will mostly be bad jokes and pictures.


Oh, last night on *cough*Disney Channel*cough* there was a movie that took place in Barcelona. The city is really beautiful.

 

[Soccermom-Cheri]

BBM, have you googled "apts for rent Barcelona" ? I got several hits. There was one that had numerous apts, 2-3 bdrms 300-550euros.

I'll send you a new pic of me and the Mrs. She's afraid that everyone will know her as the "Big Hat Lady"....

I watched the Samantha Brown 'Passport to Europe' on Barcelona the other day. I had NO idea what a neat place it was. It actually made me change my plans and thats why I'm now going in early.
