Magic May 31, 2014 A Magical Voyage Around the Mediterranean

[MikeyandCinnie]

Hey Guys!!

Guess what!!! Our MAGICal cruise.... Is SOLD out!!! As of the other day, all that was left was a 1 bedroom suite!!!

Just wanted to check in, see how everyone was doing... Wanted to make sure everyone who is on Facebook has the link to the FB page. I know that Tracy posted it previously but I know I"m bad about going back to the beginning so I thought I'd post it again.

How is everyone doing? How is planning going? Airline tickets booked? Any excursions planned? Any special things planned???

I know some people are interested in FE. Nick is handling that... But, I'm starting to work on mine but I want to get an idea of how many people are going to be interested in participating!!

Hoping to hear from y'all soon...

Here is the FB link

Just sent the FB request. Everything is booked for us except excursions. We have chosen the excursions but need to wait a little while to finish paying for the cruise. We are flying from San Diego CA USA, But found it much cheeper to shuttle up to LAX...I am not watching the fares now because I don't want to see them get cheaper!
We are flying into Berlin for 2 days prior, to Barcelona for the cruise, then back to Berlin for a visit to Germany and France with friends for 2 weeks. This will be our first trip abroad!
Does anyone have strategies for FEs transport and costs when going internationally?

I was thinking to be one more day in Paris but to change the air ticket one way is more expensive than the whole round trip. I am so glad i bought my ticket when I did.

To all my disney friends in London, I am surprising my daughter, who is a huge One Direction fan, with a day in London before going to a day and a half in Paris. we are getting to Gatwick airpory and leave from Heathrow. Wich hotel do you recomend near everything, I am planning what to do in a short time and try to see maybe change of guard, London bridge, etc. Can you please help my find a hotel near everything I need to see. Thanks!!!

Really depends on how much you want to pay, i always use Bookings.com.

Hello again!
So I know you have the general Facebook group, but I thought that I would make a group dedicated to the teenagers on this cruise! I'm not sure how to link it, but it's called "Teens in the Mediterranean". Someone made a teen group for the last Disney cruise I went on and it was really fun for all of us to get to know each other and keep in touch after the cruise ended. If you have any teens traveling with you please tell them to look up the group on Facebook so I can add them!
Thanks and have a great day!!

Hello Everyone! Arriving a bit late to the thread but think I've made it through. Still a bit more reading on the 2013 trip reports. I'll be traveling by myself with my DD (12) for our 3rd Disney Cruise. Cruise has been paid in full and airfare booked so just starting to look at excursions now. It appears private tours in Rome seem to be the most poplar, any recommendations or anyone have space for two on their existing private tour? How about the other cities -- anyone doing DCL excursions or private?

Looking forward to a wonderful mediterranean cruise and meeting some new friends!

Hey Guys!!

I hope your holidays were wonderful, we are now in FULL Carnival Swing in New Orleans!! I wanted to let y'all know that Val has very willingly taken over the FE group since it seems that Nicholas and his bride will not be able to join us this trip. Please hop over to the FB page and see the EVENT labeled Fish Extender. You can also send a private Message to Val on Disboards @ Magic3forme or on FB you can find her... Val Veith Bachner. Thank you so much Val for taking the FE group.

It's getting so close now, a lot of people are PIF and the chatter is great!!! We are also talking about getting together for Brunch on day at sea, wanted to see what everyone thought about that?

Hey everyone! My name is Tiffany and I will be sailing with my mom, Leora and our friend who lives in England, Fiona.

Anyone notice the opening date of the movie Maleficent? May 30, Which means we will be able to see it on the ship!

Just sent a request to join the Facebook group!

Excellent! I've been looking forward to seeing this movie, so the timing couldn't be better.

Hi everybody!
A couple of question to begin this day^^

Has someone already done an excursion alone? Because I'm thinking of booking the Vatican only tour, but none of my friends are interested. So, I'm a little bit worried about it.
Has someone already experienced this tour?

And is there a link to the FE sheet? My friends and I would be interested if it's isn't too late.

Have a nice day!
