09/18/2010- WBTA Bringing the Magic Home! About This Page:

[Diznyfan68]

We're so EXCITED!!!! Can't wait to be sailing on the Magic again...only 23 more months to go!

DH and I are sailing sans DS - he will be a sophmore in HS and can't miss that much school so he will be staying with my mom. This will be our first real vacation without him since I was pregnant.

As of right now, we're planning on flying to Dublin on 9/15 and then on to Barcelona the evening of 9/16. Hoping to hit WDW for on 10/2 and 10/3 before coming on home the evening of the 3rd. We might have DS fly down the morning of the 2nd and pick him up at the airport before heading over to the parks. We're going to do all our own travel/hotel/transfer arrangements this time so lots of research in the future.

What a great trip to look forward too....can't wait to hear all your plans as they develop.

I know that we're not the only ones taking this cruise C'mon, won't anyone else join the list?

I'm working on convincing my mom and sister to go on this one... we'll see how that works out! Hope to be helping to bring her home!

We booked this cruise the first day this could be booked. We had initially booked a category 10 as this was the only inside cabin that was available. However, I kept my eyes open for a category 11. I am one of the rare people who prefers the single bathroom in category 11 to the split bathroom in category 10 and above. So we are now category 11 GTY. We are hoping to do our vow renewal on this cruise.

We have this booked and I am so worried about being on the cruise for 2 weeks with so much "at sea" time with DH & DS (10 when we cruise)! I did a similiar cruise when I was about 16 with my parents and sis. I remember being soooo bored but then it wasn't Disney & I was 16.
We were looking at flying into Dublin as well. It looks like that will give us the least expensive flight and maybe we can spend a day there.
Anyone spending a day in Barcelona? Hotel ideas? One day trip in Spain?
I'm looking forward to the newest edition of the PassPorter Cruise Guide that will include info for us to use!
I know this is on another website but there is more here: Pirates sailing the Atlantic

We booked the first day - stayed home from work to book because it was that important to us. ( What pressure that day)
This summer I did my first cruise - the EB Panama Canal Repo Cruise,,, Now I'm hooked and have a family "7 Day Magic Cruise" with my DD, DSL, DS & his DGF this July. This will be their first cruise (except DGF- she has done Carival cruises - I keep telling her I think Disney cruise are a wee bit different.)
Back to the WB Transatlantic - right now my cruisin buddy from FL and I are booked in a cat 9 for the Trans and a secret porthole for the 10 day Med,,,,My fingers &/or computers were just not fast enough to nab both cruises in the secert porthole room for both.

StephaMickey and I are booked for this cruise. We are so very excited.

[SueTGGR]

Has anyone found anything new to add? I want to book my airfare so badly. Any ideas? Suggestions? DH is saying he would rather spend a day or two in Ireland and then head to Barcelona on the 18th but we are still debating. he is trying to get over the whole "I don't speak their language" thing.

DH and I are also booked on this cruise. We will spend 7-10 days visiting family in Spain, and then cruise home in style!

I'm hoping to be taking the WBTA 2010 sailing with my dad. I'll be checking into booking it onboard when I sail in October 2009. Right now the pricing is really reasonable for the Transatlantic ($1750pp for a cat 9), compared to the regular European cruises - airfare is where is gets a bit high. If we do it we'd go into Barcelona a couple of days early to make sure we (and our clothes) don't miss the ship. I did a bit of checking into Barcelona hotels, and the ones DCL has recommended in the past are like $350-$450 a night! I did fine the Hotel Nouvel, which books for around $175 a night thru Expedia. It seems a bit more basic, but should be fine and is in the area where you can walk to La Ramblas. Here is a link to it, in case anyone is interested in checking it out:
Hotel Nouvel, Barcelona, Spain
Neither of us have ever been to Europe before, but this just seems like such a good deal!

Hey sorry forgot to come over here and post. We booked as soon as the cruise became available. Me and my BF Dan are coming on the cruise and from the looks of it my Mum, Dad, Sister and BinL will all be coming with us (although they'll be booking last minute probably). I can't wait! My copy of 2009 passporter was due today so hoping that I can find out some more info. Done 6 cruises although BF has done none, and 2 of them were the last 2 Disney TA's so I'm assuming alot will be the same.
