Not sure if there's one started here on the DIS. We have a Disney Magic WBTA Cruise Sept 17-28 2016 group going on the unmentionable Blue website, but per Disboard rules I'm not allowed to explain to you how to find it, or how to sign up on it.

For anyone who might be interested, a few of us are planning on doing our own theme nights on this cruise! We've created a schedule of themes based on the schedule DCL has suggested will be the agenda on the cruise. If you want to participate, you can do every night, or just the ones you want to! We're planning on meeting up each night between dinner seatings to take a group picture in the atrium.

Hi everyone. It'll be me and my daughter (13). No FE for us this time we have enough stuff to pack. We live in Texas.

I'm a bit techno-challenged, but I can't seem to find a current roll call. Is the one on the first page accurate?

Thanks for any help.

Tickets for tours of La Sagrada Familia have finally opened up for mid September. We got tickets for 9 am Saturday morning. We'll leave our bags at our hotel, spend the morning at the Basilica, metro back to get our bags, then take a cab to the port. That will definitely fill the time before our PAT!

We just booked this cruise and the preceding Med cruise. We have had a rough time since May when Penny was diagnosed with cancer. She had her first CT scan on Monday since starting her chemo and is well on her way to remission. We were able to get a military discount and with the good news today, we are celebrating! We have cruised with Disney many times, but never in Europe so any advice is welcome; especially in regards to airlines and hotels. We are way behind in planning.

Very much looking forward to meeting all of you and being on the Magic again.

Hey, MJ,

It will be great to see you. I still haven't found a current roll call, so it'll be a surprise to see how many other former cruise friends will be onboard. I'm sure the two months will pass quickly, so see you REAL soon,

I have booked this cruise, it will be myself Sarah and my other half Tony and it will be our 5th TA on Disney Magic. Before then we are cruising with Royal Caribbean in Sept 2015, and visiting New York and Halifax NS on that cruise aswell, but the other ports will be new for us in 2016. Will be interesting to do a Northern TA instead of a Southern, but it all adds to the new experience.

We are all set for this 11 night cruise. It's our 11th cruise but first transatlantic and we are looking for some tips. I am very excited since I love being on the ship more than ports of call but am wondering how the seas and weather are for this? Would love any feedback you have on this type of cruise.

After sadly cancelling from the 2014 version, we get to bring the MAGIC back from Barcelona! And to our backyard, my own home waters.

Hi I am new to the DIS boards -- we are scheduled on this transatlantic cruise and would love to be included and experience this trip together. Could you please fill me in

Hi Rich ! Glad you had a great cruise. Happy to see more folks coming onboard for 2016. The more the merrier !
Hope we can get an FE started. If no one volunteers, I could do it. I've never organized one before, but have participated in many. Did you have an active group on your TA ? Did you have an FE ? Did your group organize any other activities ? Some Roll Call groups have receive exchanges, Secret Mickeys, Trivia groups, card games / board games at sea, book exchanges, Palo Brunch. I'm sure there are other suggestions. The point is to get to know each other having FUN AT SEA !

Would love to catch up and get to know some of you. We would love to participate in the FE exchange but would like a little more info on it. We have done about 10 Dis cruises but never the FE -- and would like to know more about the "roll call" please get back to me thanks

Would love to get some scoop on how to get to be part of this group -- participating in the FE -- learning what roll call is and just any info that would help us to be part of the group -- my husband and I are travelling alone on this cruise. Looking forward to it -- it will be our first transatlantic

Just wondering - what are folks doing in Barcelona before the cruise? We thought about catching a concert at the Palau Musica Catalana on Friday night, but think we'll switch to taking a daytime tour instead, so we can see the amazing stained glass.
We're flying into Madrid on Wednesday and taking the high speed train to Barcelona on the 15th, so won't have much time in either city. We'll be ready for some downtime once we get on board.

Hello to all the new cruisers. Unfortunately this page for our cruise hasn't received much traffic. There is more activity in some of the "other" places. 6 weeks to go, can hardly wait!

Not sure if this is allowed, the DIS is pretty strict about trying to keep traffic here. But there's a lively group happening at the unmentionable blue site! Can't provide any more info than that on the boards unfortunately. Hope to see you on the WBTA!
