Does anyone know of any hidden mickeys on the ship?

I know there are but it's been three years since I've sailed her and memory isn't what it used to be (and it wasn't great before!!). Disney always incorporates hidden Mickeys. I'm sure if you google it you'll find several lists around.

I KNOW it's still early to worry about flights, but I can't help it.

Since we have seven tickets to purchase, saving $50 or $100 (or more) per ticket makes a significant difference.

I have a few questions. When does Disney start booking air if you are going to book with them? Is it one set price no matter how late you wait to book it, or does it vary? Is it generally more expensive than booking on your own?

If it was this September, I could get us there on Aer Lingus for just under $700 a person. That's not horrible. 1800flyeurope is a tiny bit cheaper, but I'm a bit wary of booking through them. Anyone purchase through them before?

Cheers!

when we did this before, i booked through CheapOAir and flew on Air Europa. Ultimately, I felt a little ripped off by Cheap O Air, because I went to book a flight and by the time I went through putting all the info in, it was sold out. So I tried another and same thing. I panicked a little and bought a different flight that ended up being more than what I was originally going to spend, and I think it was a bait and switch job, personally. Air Europa wasn't that great, but it wasn't horrible - the seats seemed small, but I am pooh-sized and it was a long flight so....

I would love to book on an airline that partners with someone I have miles with so I can get all those miles.

Can't tell you anything about booking air through Disney. In the past, it's been cheaper to do it yourself, but I don't know about now.

I used 1800flyeurope in 2011 and had no problems at all. We were on the exact same flight that I could have booked through the airline for twice as much. The only time I ran into a problem - and it wasn't much of one - was when I called the airline to change our seating assignments. They were going to charge me, so I said, "no thanks" and changed it online with no fee or penalty. You just need to keep track of your flight info, as there are no paper tickets, and you should check your flight from time to time for any changes as they won't notify you. But nothing changed on ours, so that was not a problem. I'm planning to use it again, if it turns out to be the best deal available.

I have heard of quite a few people booking with 1800flyeurope on previous trips.

You can also try sites like skyscanner and vayama - I have used both of these, found reasonable prices and had no problems at all.

I will be looking for 9 flights back from USA to Europe so I do not relish that endeavour.

We have used skyscanner before, they come up with some very competitive prices

I've never heard of skyscanner so will definitely be checking that out. Thanks Sarah.

I remember how to play canasta and pinochle.
When I was younger I played gin rummy and cribbage.

I have played hearts and euchre, just can't remember the rules.

Crazy 8's in now called Uno and has its own deck,

We also like the Dice game.

I will pack pinochle cards, canasta cards (need 2 decks), uno cards, and the dice for the dice game.

LOVE, LOVE playing canasta! I play online with my dad some.....use to play that all the time!!!

Does anyone know if you can use credit card points to upgrade if you bought your flight through a consolidator like 800flyeurope? We didn't have a card that did airline points before, but I have one now. It would be nice to be able to upgrade to business class from economy to go to Barca. It was like a cattle barge last time!

Thank's Annemarie I will check it out.

 

[ThePhantomsGirl]

That SkySKanner site definitely looks worth checking out -thank you!

Any ideas of when flights for our cruise will start opening up? I know to set an amount in my mind to pull the plug as for when to buy - I just want to know when to start looking. It seems it might be about 11 to 12 months out?

We have a book of DCL Hidden Mickey's, will pack it.

In the UK it's 11 months out, not sure if it's the same for you though Holly.
