Missed it this time. Darn...

They do have it at the buffet or you can order it at Triton's for a nice "elegant" oatmeal breakfast. We do like it and order it sometimes.

 

[MrsMork]

Why don't you just go on off to your meeting!! (stomping foot!)

Holy cow! I was just catching up on the thread, and see that you got the last 5 pirates! You are on a roll girl.

I figured that when I came home for lunch that the pirate would have been long gone.....

Maybe it's like those slot machines....all those 7s line up then one POPS up or down!

 

[JsMom2]

Wow, I finally got caught up on all the posts.

We're prepping for a big meeting at work this week, so I haven't had a chance to log on during the day.

But I did find out that the meeting we have scheduled for next September was pushed back a week, so I CAN do the Member cruise - if I can get on! So I'll call on the 17th and hope I can get thru. If not, I'll keep the Halloween cruise as our backup plan.

We've never been on the Wonder, and the cruise sails on Jasmine's birthday.

...So, my question is, are we stopping the pirate hunt at 10,000? Cause if we are, I figure it's going to be a busy night!!

Does anyone know, is there any point in trying to book a private table for tea this late? And how does that work? I counted 5 of us so far...total newbie at this but willing to take it on. Can one of us just take the others' numbers and try to book on arrival? After hours with a drink sounds nice, but I'm much more likely to be able to find leisurely kid-free time in the afternoon. (Especially as dh has said he doesn't "need" tea!)

 

[coastgirl]

...And just need to add, Stefanie, you are smokin!

Congrats!

Ok, so maybe this is sacrilege...but I was just reading a Palo thread, and people here have mentioned rolling out of there...I don't find being stuffed romantic, you know? And I thought the Palo experience was, for couples at least, romantic. I know dh, and he's already plotting the duplicate courses...but I don't want us to eat ourselves into a tummy ache. I love white-glove-fine-linen service and find that sort of setting romantic, to be sure, but nothing's romantic if I'm too full.

I don't much like wasting food, and if I order something then chances are good most of it will get eaten. Is it possible to get smaller portions at least? Or is everything pre-plated?

Maybe we could focus on gluttony at brunch and lust at dinner. (I'm figuring most of the 7 Deadlies can get a workout before we come home. Sloth, yep. Greed, yep. Avarice and greed the same? What about covetousness and envy?? Don't see much need for those at least...Oh, anger, hope we can leave that at home--unless there are no Palo ressies to be had--but then I'd be swapping one for two if I don't get to go...)

I just read the same thread. We enjoyed our Palo dinner, and our server did bring us extra things to try, but they were smaller portions and she brought them to us to share. I understand about not wasting food. I suppose you could ask that your server not bring you anything you didn't order, however, I think trying new things is part of the Palo experience. You'll find that your servers will sometimes bring you extra things in the regular dining rooms, too. I think that Jim ate until he could hardly move a few times, but if you pace yourself and don't worry about leaving some on your plate, you'll be fine. I imagine that, when preparing the shopping lists for Palo, the chef includes the fact that extras will be offered, so you really aren't wasting the food. It's already prepared and has to be served to someone, and it won't last forever!
