May Med Magic - May 15 2010 - Meet thread

[dfsc]

Hi all,
Our flight leaves Barcelona at 11:20AM. I contacted a car service to ensure that we would have transportation to the airport. Here is the response I received:
"Thanks for contacting Spanish Trails Tours & Events! The price for a private transfer from the port to the Barcelona Airport is 70 Euros / van. How many people will be in your party? We will take a maximum of six people in one van. If your flight departs at 11.20am, it would be best to pick you up from your ship at 8.30am (or even 8.00am, if you'd like), so that you'll be at the airport 2 - 2.5 hours in advance."

Is anyone else interested in sharing the van? There is room for 4 more.

Nancy

My husband and I would like to share the van. I'll send you a PM.

We had Jill's snow here in north Alabama on Monday...mixed with rain. Miserable day. Today was sunny and 77 F.

Hey there Greg! Glad you & Cristy joined the Disboards!! I heard your last cruise was awsome and I know your upcoming one will be even better!! ( Greg M )

Hey Cindy! Yes it was absolutely fantastic! I still love the parks but there is nothing more relaxing than a cruise with my spouse and everyone's favorite mouse! We are soooooo ready for the May cruise!!!!!!!!!

We're buying 200 points at SSR - got my fingers crossed that we pass ROFR.

Good luck! We own at SSR also and just added on for BLT.....haven't stayed there yet...December will be our 1st time at BLT.
We stayed at Kidani Village for the 1st time last October and loved it. The extra bathroom is a real plus in the new resorts.

Believe it or not but March is the snowiest month of the year for us. I'm just ready to get it over with so I can take the convertible for a spin!

Jill

March is our snowiest month as well which makes a year without any all the more remarkable. Really nice to see motorcycles and top downs out already.

Hi there Jeff,

I noticed that my name is not on the FE list. Might you add me? Thanks! Didn't have enough post to send you PM

 

[gg.leigh]

I'm so excited about this cruise I could just burst. Keeping my fingers (toes, legs, ......) crossed that we get them soon.

I know!!! Is it bad that I've been checking everyday to see if my reservation info has changed, reflecting room assignment?

Don't worry too much about being missing on the FE list on the website - I'm sure Jeff will update it soon.

I'm (as FE coordinator) using the list on page 1 of this thread as the master list for the FE and you are on that list.

I'll make sure once FE numbers are finalised and all the info in (and the list split if that is what we end up doing) that everyone gets a definitive copy of who is in the FE and their vital stats.

 

[tripodjw]

Nope, me too (and probably 90% of the people on the cruise bcause virtually everyone is GTY)

It'll be in the next few working days, seeing as they did the May 5th Magic last week, so will have a couple of Wonder ailings to do since then. I reckon some peeps might get room assignments today/tomorrow and the rest on Monday/Tuesday next week. fingers crossed anyway.

Forgot about that game on friday night. I was on Royal Caribbean's Adventure of the Seas during the first 2 rounds and the bracket announcements. My biggest beef with RCCL was they had NO IDEA what the NCAA Basketball Tourney was or what a bracket referred to. I went to their "sports bar" and the bar tenders looked at me as if I was crazy. I found one on line but doing a bracket with 4 people is sort of lame so we never did one. Next year Ill do ESPN's. I did find out alot about cricket and soccer while on the ship. Its just a reminder that there is a huge international crowd on cruise ships. I think its cool and my kids got to play with children from so many different countries and cultures. From the looks of the board, this cruise should be no different and I cant wait for the meet and greet. Can anyone explain how to post the pictures on the site? Im a computer idiot. By the way... GO VOLS!!!!

I check 4 -5 times a day, maybe more. I'm about to burst with excitement.

 

[DopeyFan1966]

I just changed my travel tickers yesterday, now they are gone also. I wonder if they are blocking them all until further notice????

Wow, now they work??? go figure.

 

[Jeff Spencer]

I'll update the list today. Jane's right...the list on page 1 of this thread is the official list...I check it periodically and sync up the web page accordingly.

On the room assignments, I don't expect anything to happen there, at least for the Cat 12 GTY's until the weekend at the earliest and more likely early next week. The first changes will be those with lower category GTYs or lower category room assignments.

 

[Jeff Spencer]

Rash,

Welcome back. Any photos you want posted (roll call, others) just send them to me. Down at the bottom of the home page on the web site is an email link for me.

 

[maddisney]

Before the room assignments, note that it is possible to find a review of them on this site

/wdwinfo/cruise-new/roomlist.cfm (preceded by 'www wdwinfo com' where each space is to replace by a '.')

Sorry, I cannot yet post a link, then I have to split the address.

 

[Jeff Spencer]

Be aware that on the links, regardless of how many posts you have, the DIS detects and prohibits the posting of many URLs, either because they're of a "competing" type web site or there is some concern about how safe that site might be in terms of malware (viruses, etc.).

I think this is what maddisney was pointing to, which is a neat feature of the DIS (IMO) where you can check out past guest comments on your specific stateroom once you have the number. I always look for comments having to do with noise as I'm a pretty light sleeper. Staterooms near ship equipment rooms, elevators and the like can be pretty noisy.

Edit: Updated the web site FE List and added two new Roll Call photos - amackay and peterpanstout!
