Hello all....we got our flight information today....but kind of in a strange way. A few weeks back we called Disney air to find out what airline they normally used out of JFK in NY...they told us that they generally use Delta. I mentioned to the young lady that they had a non-stop to Barcelona leaving at 5:40 in the evening. She led me to believe that they try to use non-stop flights when they can. Today, I called DCL reservations to find out if the flight had been assigned. I was told that they were waiting for confirmation from the airline and we should have it within 10 days.....so here is what I did....I called Delta and asked if by chance my DW and I were on Flight 94 leaving at 5:40 p.m. on that Friday evening. They confirmed we were on that flight and gave us the confirmation number so we could change our seat assignments if we wanted to. We are currently booked and our seats are 33 A & B. Very happy with the flight and the seats are fine. Also found out we are flying back home to JFK on a flight that leaves at 11:45 a.m. in the morning and is a non-stop back home. Great flights...and no rushing off the ship to get to the airport. We are VERY pleased with these flights!!! So....now we are just waiting for our stateroom assignment....we are booked as a 11 GTY.....hopefully we can get a little upgrade....maybe a small window to the outside world.....so we got half the loaf today......can you guys see the smile on my face.....its there!!!
We live in Florida and my daughter, Abby will be 13 at the time of the cruise. We look forward to sailing with you!
Thanks for this info. I called Disney and got the same "you'll get your info 60 days before the cruise". So, I followed your lead and called Delta. There are no direct flights from Indianapolis to Barcelona, so I told her it might be flight 94 or flight 114 through Atlanta. She asked for my last name, found the reservation and emailed it to me, with no proof of who I even was! Scary!
So, I've got the info and I'm okay with the flights except that for our flight from ATL to BCN we have seats 41C, 42C, 43E, and 44E and the flight is completely full! I hope we do okay, but I'll have to remind myself that at least I have a seat and will soon be on the Magic.
Who do I PM with flight info? Or do I just put it here?
). There are one-stop and multi-stop. There are a LOT that stop in Atlanta and then apparently fly direct from Atlanta to BCN....a few that stop in NYC and then over to BCN....a couple with random US stops (like Minneapolis and Detroit)....and then a bunch with European stops in either Amsterdam or Paris. 
OK I just logged onto the Delta site and there are 42 flights departing Orlando for Barcelona with Delta on Monday, Sept. 6th!! None of them are non-stop (boo!!
I am REALLY hoping that we get a flight with only one stop----and I also REALLY hope that our stop is in the US. (I have heard from many folks that if you don't have to stop and/or deplane in Europe anywhere then they are far less likely to get too strict about your carry-on size(s) or weight(s)...so that would be a huge +++ for us as we figure out how to get everything there.
The one thing I did learn from doing this quick search is that the flights all leave a lot earlier than I thought they would. For some reason I anticipated that we would leave at or after dinner time on Monday and then arrive in the afternoon on Tuesday....but the latest flight that leaves Orlando is 6:30pm and it looks like MANY of them are late morning or early afternoon on Monday....which completely changes the way we were thinking of spending our time in Orlando before the trip!

Good morning/afternoon/evening all!
I likely won't be around for a couple of days as I am leaving shortly to get my eyes lasered!
I hope I don't miss too much!
Wish me luck and see you on the other side of 20/20!

That is so true Noel. This cruise has wonderful people onboard.Going to be fantastic!!!
A couple more tasks completed....requested a 90 supply of Dennis' meds so we will be sure to have enough to last thru our FL stay. I also have ordered the electric converter so that he can use his CPAP in Barcelona. Bit by bit getting it done.
