Just checking in again, been back from our 2 weeks in WDW just over a week now. It has taken a while for me to catch up, you guys have been very busy, lots of news to catch up on.
We have booked our flights to Barcelona with BA flying from Newcastle via Heathrow arriving on the Friday afternoon and staying overnight at the Le Meridien. Waiting to see what the prices will be when the flights back to the UK open up, we are pretty flexible with return dates as we will be staying at SSR for up to a week after the cruise.
We had a great time at SSR this year, we had requested Congress Park, high floor and overlooking DTD, and that was exactly what we got.Really enjoyed sitting on the balcony and chilling out with a cold drink.
Hope everyone is well and has a good weekend.

Sounds wonderful - pleased you had such a great time! I can't wait to book our flights!
Glad you got things sorted.
and not for some important news ..........
as of today we are no longer in the "fifty-something weeks to go" zone ......we now only have
49 weeks to go !!!
you are a star sarah!LOL would have taken him at least 20 pages to have cracked this one and I did it in 1
wow, I almost feel like I am intruding upon a family gathering or something. You all have been here a long while!
We just booked this cruise on our last (1st cruise ever) cruise just a couple weeks ago (7 day western carib).
Anyway, total newbie here to traveling overseas so my question today is this:
Is it really going to cost me 3x the amount to fly one way from the USA to Barcelona as it would a round trip ticket? I am soooo confused!
We would fly out of PHL (Philadelphia altho Baltimore is a possibility as well, heck I'd get myself to NJ or NYC for a deep enough discount).
We could fly into someplace else across the pond and take another flight too. Whatever works out to be most reasonablly priced.
Anyone have any advice at all? Is it to soon to book or should I be looking now? What price range should I be looking for?
Oiy!Please help my Disboard friends!
hi. dont ay that, we are so happy to have another ship mate.gland you enjoyed.
I booked a room for us for 2 nights at Hotel Continental Barcelona today. One decision made. Now for airfare, we have no points, can fly from anywhere so that means even more decisions. But we do want to spend a week or so at WDW when we return so we will want to fly from the East somewhere.....somewhere to Barcelona.
Popping In to say hi
Was going to post that they have been good with me, 100 bucks is a hundred bucks, but you seem to have it fixed.

Hi all, its been a good few months (oops) since I checked in here and I'm going to try to check in a bit more often now.
Mum and I did a trip around the north of Australia so that was taking up all my planning time so now I need to get a bit more serious about this trip.
In the next couple of weeks we need to finalise our itinerary so we can book our airfares and also our DVC.
Mum has family she might want to visit in the UK and possibly DH will do the same so we may all travel independently of each other and meet up in Barcelona a few days before. Mum also threw out the idea of going to DLP first too and realistically when traveling to the complete opposite side of the world one extra stop won't make much difference.
We also need to decide how long we need in Florida afterwards - probably a couple of weeks as we need to use up the rest of this years points and ideally all of next years as well.
I'm also guessing we may need to get "round the world" tickets which will probably be cheapest but not necessarily - its hard to tell and its gonna be a nightmare for our TA if we all go separately
Oh decisions, decisions and to be fair Mum and DH will say "I don't mind" so I'll just have to tell them what, when and where.
We are also dithering over an idea of not going into the parks and instead maybe do Sea World/Universal and if the weather is nice the water parks, mini golf etc - in other words all the things we've said we'd do in the past but never actually done because we were in the parks. We'll see how that pans out...
Anyway I hope to not be away so long this time!
