May 5, 2010 Magic of Barcelona

Does anyone know if there is a single photo package?

You can buy one photo or 100. You do get a quantity discount the more you buy. So, for example, it may be $20 for one 8x10 or 5 for $85, something like that. It really is a nice time to do relatively cheap family photos. We have lots of professional pictures made of my daughter, and that is waaaaay cheap. They're cute pictures too. Not like truly professional studio pictures, but really pretty nice. One of the ones from our last cruise of me and my daughter is perhaps one of our best pictures together. Maybe b/c we're both happy and relaxed, lol.

Hi,

We wanted an international cell phone to have with us while we are raveling.

I bought an unlocked Razrv3 off Amazon that came with the Modal International Sim card with $20 of airtime on it for $68 no tax, free shipping.

Because it's an quad band I can replace it with a US pre-paid sim card when we get home and give it to my daughter to have with her for dance, swim team, etc.

Just thought I'd let you all know if you're looking for one.

Only a couple more weeks. i can't belive the ship is on it's way to Europe

Hey all! Just wanted to share something that was posted on another board. Here is their show/dinner schedule for the Transatlantic Cruise. Not sure how it will translate for us as their cruise is longer, but I thought it was interesting.

I've not really looked into getting photos done as we are in a group so will be able to get each other to take family photos for us. But I would be interested in getting one family photo done professionally when we are in our formal wear. Does anyone know if there is a single photo package?

3 weeks, can't wait We fly into Barcelona from London Luton airport on the Tuesday. We are all so excited

Do you live in the London area? We're in Coventry and flying Ryan Air from Brum into Reus on 2nd May then we're flying Easy Jet into Luton on the return on the
15th. What's Luton like? I booked us National Express back to Cov that afternoon. When you flying back if I may ask? Just curious if we'll be on the same flight home!

Awww...that makes me kind of sad since Simon is always criticizing the contestants for sounding like they could maybe sing on cruise ships...ironic, no? Hey, it pays, its honest work and probably fun...will be neat to see what they have in store for us...! I'm really looking forward to getting some info from the 4/24 folks. Wonder what "The Dream Goes On" and "Once Upon a Song" are?

We are from Leicester so only done the road from you!!!

We are flying back to Luton on 15th, I think we fly early afternoon so am sure we will be on the same flight!

So all of us on the Mystery Bus? If it doesnt show there's certainly enough of us to all book something else at the last min.

Good point! I'm also excited to see who will be on our cruise. Sometimes the performers will stay the whole cruise and sometimes they will stay onboard until the next port and then disembark. On our 7 night cruise last year we had illusionist Mike Super (He won Criss Angel's TV Show Phenomenon) and he was amazing. He did a few shows and an adult show. He picked my sister for one of he tricks and actually levitated her! It was very cool.

We also had a juggling artist on our last cruise, which doesn't sound that exciting, but it was actually hysterical. He also did an adults only show in addition to his regular shows.

I'm not sure what "The dream Goes On" is, but I think "Once Upon a Song" the temporary show that filled in for "Golden Mickeys" while "Villans tonight" was in rehearsals. From what I understand it's more of a musical review of Disney songs.

I think the EBTA cruise also has Don "Ducky" Williams onboard right now. That would be really cool to see. He's a Disney artist, so the Disney geek in me, would love to see him

OMG what a small world! My friend works there as well. We live in Groby, it is about 2 miles away from B.leys.

And we will be on the bus together as well, my god it is a small world, lol.

No sign of the cruise docs yet. Hopefully be here soon if they were posted last week.

Hi there
Getting closer now! Cruise Critic's Editor in Chief Carolyn Spencer Brown is heading to the Western Mediterranean on a Disney cruise, and will be reporting on her experiences in a daily live video blog from Disney Magic, beginning April 26. Might find some useful info.
Not sure how to post a link but the address is below:

Thanks for that link, Tracey. I posted it on the site, along with links to some other blogs that are going on currently from the Magic. One (Heather's blog) is really good, and she updates it daily. I also put the ship tracking link. All of this is on the link page. Here is the link http://may5med.weebly.com/links.html

It is so surreal that we will be on the boat in 3 weeks!

Yahoo!!!!!

I think I have everything I need. Btw, if you should require any OTC medications during our trip, feel free to see me, your local CVS. I swear, I have something for every possible ailment. I also bought these Pedialyte powder things, figuring that if my daughter got sick, I could mix those up and get some electrolytes back into her. I know. I'm paranoid. She had zero issues on our first cruise. In fact, I was the only one that felt anything at all and one Bonine did the trick.

I'm pretty much packed. We're ordering our Euros from the bank today. They said it would take 3 days to get them. When I worked for the bank, it took more like 3 weeks, so I guess they've improved, lol. Not sure what the rate is, but it won't make a huge difference. Need to call the card company and let them know we'll be overseas. Otherwise.... I think we're good to go!

I have this season (thus far) of Bones and Grey's Anatomy on my iPod. My daughter's iPod is loaded with favorites. What did I do before iPods? Seriously, did I lug CDs and DVDs around? Yes, yes I did. Wow. Stone ages.

Hahaha - stone ages. I'll be lugging around DVDs and a portable player. That's a good idea about ipods but can't quite justify getting ipod's for 3 kids just yet, especially when they're begging for Nintendo DS's
