May 12, 2007 -- Taking the Magic to the Mediterranean -- 14 day Repo Cruise! Part 2

[misseulalie]

It sounds like you aren't aware of the secret of fastpasses - the only time that counts is the first one. You can't get in early but you don't have to worry about the end time - they are good all day.

I guess we have never needed them before... we typically only go after 4pm, or when it's slow. I would have never gone during spring break, but DD wanted to go badly I caved.

We'll see how MGM is this Friday. DD wants to see the High School Musical Pep Rally. At least we won't need fast passes...

Anybody find a hotel that will allow 2 adults and 2 kids in the room in Barcelona that isn't close to 300 Euro's? Trying to find a hotel but the only one we have found that is in a central location is the Best Western Regina hotel in downtown Barcelona that will take 2 adults and 2 kids in a room. The rest have been 3 max to a room so we would have to get 2 rooms.

Cheers!!

Pat

Try Aparthotel Napols, this is what we had booked until we changed to the Repo cruise. We have 4 people in our party.

I checked one more thing off of my to do list: Made my flight reservations from Barcelona to Paris. Now I only have to figure out how to get from the port to the airport and the airport to DLP.

It is getting closer!!

Debbie, Did you book on Easyjet with the same flight as me to Paris? Like I said we are staying in Paris for a few days before going to DLP, but plan on taking the train. I think its the "A" line, all the way to the Marne la vallee/ chessy station right at DLP. It looks pretty easy.

Welcome! If you have not done so already go to page 143 and read the first post. It has LOTS of info. you will want to know

Will be great to cruise with people who know something about my hometown.

Kurt, I think the highway between Lafayette and Greencastle is US231. A snake wandering road. Greencastle is where we got our last beagle from.

[/B]!

Of course it's 231 - the old fact-checker on this computer must have not been working for this particular post. IN421 goes to Michigan City. I'll have to have this computer upgraded with the latest version of Fact Checker 10.2.4.3.7 (right after Vista 2.5 comes out with service pack 1.8)

For those of you that are still researching airfares (like us) from Barcelona back to the U.S. (or Canada), you might want to try -

www.kayak.com , or
www.sidestep.com

select the "one way" radial button at the top. Both of these are websites that scan multiple travel websites and consolidate the findings into a single page, sorted based on cost. There have been one-way airfares less than $500/pp (including taxes/fees) from Barcelona (BCN) back to the U.S. on both 5/26 and 5/27 (I checked flights from BCN to both DFW and Orlando - airport code MCO). They also work for U.S. domestic flights if you are still looking for airfare to Orlando (or Tampa or Daytona Beach etc.)

After having had to mow, trim, and clean-up the lawn for the first time this year over the weekend, you can color me ready to cruise. T minus two months (less one day) and counting. . . .

Good Morning Trivia:

One man's voice - 2 bears? and a ________?

Woo hoo! I know this one!
The same guy voiced Little John in Robin Hood, and Baloo in Jungle Book (the original Disney one) and also voiced a cat Thomas O'Malley in the Aristocats!

We are originally from upstate New York, now living full time in Central Florida. This will be our second cruise with Disney and are planning on our 3rd cruise late this summer to Alaska a 7 day thru DVC. But we are really excited about the transatlantic cruise never been to Europe... and don't know what to expect. Tinker is my husband and yes his real name is Tinker. We are retired and loving every minute. Can't wait to meet everyone. Thanks for the Welcome.

Welcome Pooh and Tinker! Boy, we're getting lots of Floridians lately!! You guys can have your own pre and post cruise meets now.

Michelle2: YES, his name is Phil Harris. Our favorite alley cat, O'Malley! Phil Harris was quite popular in his time. Go ahead and find the other answer on the internet. It was a much harder one than I thought. I think Hope knows the answer, but she hasn't checked in lately. One man's voice: two different princes. Think more about recent movies.

So, I woke up at 4:30 this morning and had been dreaming that I missed all the dis-events and was sitting in some big ballroom eating dinner with my neighbor (instead of my family) when Erik and Jason walked in and I was so happy to see them, but realized I'd missed everything. Also, Eddie Murphy was our waiter and he was walking all of your dogs after the meal. It was weird, all the dog pictures were very clear in my head. I woke up and was wide awake, I don't know if it was worse that I was with the most boring neighbor in the world or that I had missed all the disboard events. DH says, "well, we can tell its getting closer - you're dreaming about it"

What side of town are you on? We got folks in Avalon Park, Lake Nona, Hunter's Creek, and I'm sure other places, I just forgot....

Welcome!

This one looks very promising for all those that were looking for a place that holds 4 but not real expensive.

Going to look into the location some more but it looks like a winner!

Thanks again misseulalie.

Cheers!!

Not only do all the bank credit cards I own charge the current foreign exchange plus 2.5% fee on top of it.

Most credit cards have such fees. Capitol One (the folks with the "what's in your wallet" adverts) doesn't. www.capitolone.com .
