The MAGIC is Back!!! ~ WBTA 2014 ~ Come & join the fun!

[Buckeye Gal]

It's official! Count me in!

Like many of you, I cannot wait to cross the Atlantic on Magic again!! Moreover, I'm thrilled to see so many familiar "faces" here! It will be awesome to see some old friends again and to make new ones!!

I'm super excited that I got the same stateroom I had on the 2010 WBTA! The bonus of "free" square footage in this cabin for Cat 9C is amazing, especially for two weeks.

I'm also thrilled to see that if I were to book a flight today for the afternoon of Saturday, Sept 21, 2013 from SJU to CMH, it's only $168! Since those are comparable days/time that we'll need in 2014, it's encouraging to think a low rate like that may be possible. I also had a great rate of around $360 to BCN back in 2010. Fingers crossed that can happen again as well!

Have a great weekend, everyone!

We live in Youngsville NC!

Girl.....You are in our neck of the woods! lol We live in Louisburg! This is amazing! Later on, we'll have to try and get a group from around this area together for lunch so we can get to know each other before the cruise! Wow!

I am officially going to start a list for the private rum tasting group. If you are interested, please pm me with how many people will be joining us, the name of each person attending, any disboard names that any in your group have, and your cabin number. I will try to keep a running list and get them to Claire (Pinky166) so she can post the updated list periodically.

There will be an additional fee for these tastings. Not exactly sure, but I thought it was about $20/pp on the last WBTA. This fee will be charged to your room onboard.

Here is a rough list of what I have written down so far:

Rick Sims (my DH!)
Annamarie Baldock (JustAnnieNotHazel)
Hazel Hillman (HazelandAnnie)
Sarah Hanley
Crystal Rachetto
Kimmy Blatnik
Renea Govekar & DH Jim
Melodie Kimble
Lisa Strube Daniel
Tony Howsan (Whittam-Howsan?)
Claire McQuite (Pinky166) & DH Lee
Mdwoodman - ?
Magic123 - ?
Mary & Steve ? (Todd & Copper) - Room 6511
Sue Powell (Babydiver) & DH Richard - Room #6011

If I've misspelled any names, I'm sorry.......please correct me.

We had such a great time at the tastings last time.....so I'm anticipating the same thing for our 2014 cruise. Look forward to chatting with all of you soon!

Hi everybody! What a wonderful group I kept waking up night before last hoping it was time to book. I'm super excited to be joining you all! It will be my mother Jeanette and myself Pam. We're in a 9C, #2116. I was really pulled in by the beautiful 11C prices but looking forward to a porthole for the first time. This will be the 5th cruise for both of us, all DCL.

Happy planning everyone!

 

[ThePhantomsGirl]

Welcome to all our new cruisers!

And woo-hoo - another solo cruiser!

I think I'm so excited about getting to see everyone again! What a great group of people to travel with! And a chatty group at that...

We are also taking the Disney Med cruise this July. The DisBoards group for that cruise is only to page 24...while this board has only been active for 3 days and already is on page 21!!!!
Chatty, chatty, chatty! Love it!

$360 to Barcelona would be amazing. I'm looking at around $700 per person to get to Spain.

It was much higher but Kimberly found a sale one Saturday and posted it on our DIS meet thread. A bunch of us grabbed flights at a great price!!! Sale was gone within a couple of hours!!!

 

[Buckeye Gal]

Kimberly!!!!! We cruise again!!! Now I'll be counting on you to find us that great rate to Barcelona again!!!

You know, Melodie, this means every DCL cruise I've been on you have been on! Call me stalker!

Welcome to all our new cruisers!

And woo-hoo - another solo cruiser!

With this lovely group of DISers, it's hard to feel like you're going solo!

$360 to Barcelona would be amazing. I'm looking at around $700 per person to get to Spain.

Hopefully we'll luck out! For the Sept 2010 WBTA, that awesome rate to BCN came out for a small window of time in January. So we'll all be chatting together looking for those great deals after the new year!

 

[MagicMe]

You know, Melodie, this means every DCL cruise I've been on you have been on! Call me stalker!



Well technically since you haven't been on all my DCL cruises but I've been on all your DCL cruises, I think I might be considered the "stalker"!!!

We both know how to have a good time and where the great people are!!!!

 

[PFlamingo]

Go ahead and add us to the roll-call, please (even though Dennis scowls at me every time I mention this trip):

PFlamingo - Pat, DH Dennis (the practical, scowling, party-pooper)

I had a seriously crappy day at work, and I told Dennis he needs to just let me go ahead and plan this. Life is too short and the money will be there, somehow. It always is. I lead a basically charmed life, with some crappy work days thrown in to keep me humble and remind me why we need to take this trip!!!!

Okay, venting finished. Thank you. Needed to do that. All better now.

 

[MagicMe]

Pat - when (and I'm talking a long long long time down the road) when one of you is no longer around, the other person is not going to remember the stuff, they're going to remember the times together!!

As you said - life is short!

 

[goofprincess]

Hi everyone Please count me in too

I've sailed the EBTA so of course needed to add the WBTA

Hoping that I can make it work and sail with all of you! I booked yesterday, cat11 and am sailing solo, unless my DD is able to join me. This will be my 11th cruise with DCL

Kathe

HI Kathe........Glad to see you on this cruise

 

[Grandma x3]

Just thought of something else that can be organised....

The Pre Cruise drinks/dinner Hard Rock Cafe in Barcelona! It's a tradition!!!

Us "Newbies" to the group look forward to joining in on that too !!!!

This thread is reminding me of the Dis thread we had for the 2008 EBPC - we got to 15 threads before we sailed. This group has that same fun energy - I sure hope we get to sail with y'all !!

 

[goofprincess]

Please add us to the roll call!

KrisannB - Krisann, DH - Ashley and DS Aaron (17ATS)

This will be our 13th cruise (#12 will be the EBTA in 2014)

Hi All......Glad to see your name on the roll call. Tony and I look forwarding to cruising with your family again.

 

[PFlamingo]

Pat - when (and I'm talking a long long long time down the road) when one of you is no longer around, the other person is not going to remember the stuff, they're going to remember the times together!!

Damn straight! And he knows that.

If I have to, I'll pull out the guilt-trip. I've done it before. I'm not proud. Once we get my house sorted out I'm hoping I won't have to resort to that. We had such a fabulous time in 2011, I know he will want to go again.

 

[goofprincess]

Sarah, I haven't started on my scrapbook either, but don't let that deter you from collecting stuff .... any scrapbooker will tell you that's the fun part

Karen......ain't it the truth!!!!!

It will be so much fun sailing with you and Ed again. Don't forget to pack that cute tee-shirt with the ruffles
