The journey began with an overnight fight from Toronto to Munich Germany, where I would be changing planes to fly to Barcelona, Spain.
The Flowing are some pictures out the plane window.
Once I got to the airport in Munich I had to clear customs, and I got loosed looking for it, but eventually found it, then it was back though airport security and over to were I would board the plane for my flight to Barcelona, which funnily enough was right next to the plane I had just gotten off.
Once I had landed in Barcelona I was greeted by
DCL staff at the airport who called the town car driver that would take me to my hotel. Once at the hotel I took a quick nap (like 2-3 hours) before heading out to dinner with some people from another message board (not the DPN by the way) that very quickly became friends. After dinner it was time to call it a night as the next morning I would be boarding the Disney Magic for the first time.
When I woke up the next mornig I decided to take some quick photos of my room before packing everything up and heading to the port.

This is a picture of a card reader type thing that you had to have your room key in to use the amenities of the room like the lights, TV and telephone.

and the bed.
After breakfast at the hotel restaurant which was included with the price of the room, I returned to my room top put on my luggage tags for DCL, a few minutes later someone from the hotel came to pick up my bags and then I heeded out to the lobby to wait for the bus to the port. Well I was waiting I started talking to some people who were also waiting for the bus to the port, we eventually decided to split a cab to to the port as we didn't want to stay in the hotel lobby for much longer and we didn't feel like taking our carry-on luggage with us as we walked somewhere else.
DCL had added a few banners and some signs to show there presence in the terminal. After checking in I headed over to the pre-boarding area where you could get a picture of a familiar Disney Friend.
Then it was time to board the ship. This was my first view of the Disney Magic.
As we were boarding the ship from ground level we had to wait as a couple of forklifts carrying cages filled with luggage in them pass by before proceeding to the boarding ramp. Once on board we were taken via elevator to deck 9 where they had a crew member with a microphone welcoming us on bard and they also shot video that they should on the Areal Vision screen on a delay so you could see your self on the screen when you got to it. Unfortunitly the weather wasn't very good that day so there wasn't many people on deck then. After that I garbed some lunch at Top Siders before heading to my room.
