For some reason, we have always gone into Parrot Cay. Maybe because that is where we have been directed, but sometimes because it has been either very warm or very windy (which it can on the coast) and we didn't feel like sitting outside at that time. Plus, they usually have a band playing, and DS likes that, too.

When you first get on the Ship were to you go and eat Parrot Cay or Beach Blanket and Why?

We always go up to deck 9 (Beach Blanket on the Wonder/Topsiders on the Magic). I'd much rather sit outside than in an air conditioned room. Maybe it's because we're coming from the Midwest. I know last year there were a lot of DISers up at Beach Blanket.

When we travel with friends like Karen who have kids we grab a table by the pool. Last April when Karen and I got up to the table after handling Palo reservations her son Nick was eating pizza. I had never tried the pizza on the ship and it looked so good that's what I got for lunch.

The kids get to swim right away, and we get to enjoy a nice lunch.

Good Morning. Congrats Sue and Susan on the and . It is a day off for me. Yeah!

Flo - as to your question of the day - we have usually eaten at Beach Blanket or Top Siders. Just because it is easy and, like Mary, we like to be outside. But this year I would like to try Parrot Cay for a change. I just can't wait!!!!!!!

Beach Blanket because it is easy and has outside seating.

We have gone to Beach Blanket because of recommendations from others here on the Dis. I think this time we will try Parrot Cay...hey, if I don't like it, I can always go to Beach Blanket or get pizza, right?

This is like planning a wedding...so excited, but when it is over, I am going to be so depressed!

When you first get on the Ship were to you go and eat Parrot Cay or Beach Blanket and Why?

We have done both. Usually go to Parrot Cay if we are with a large group of dis'ers and it is easier to sit and have a whole group of tables together and visit.

If we are in a smaller group or by ourselves we usually head up to Beach Blanket or Topsiders (depending if we are on the Wonder or the Magic). Then we usually grab something out by the pool too!

This time, since I will have my brother in law (1st cruise) and sister (2nd cruise) with me, we will probably go to Parrot Cay. My BIL is an architect and I know he is going to be totally amazed from his first steps onto the ship!

In fact, I think we will do the tour that is like at 1:30 p.m. around the ship. I've never done it before in all my cruises and my BIL would find it fascinating.

Susan & Sue, congratulations from me too.

One of my best friends from high school works here at the hospital and her husband does too. I have known him and his dad for over 30 years. He is about 55, and was recently diagnosed with prostate cancer, had surgery, and was scheduled this am to see the oncologist. After my friend left for work this morning, he shot himself in the head. He was medivac'd to Hershey Medical Center. I have worked with people who have survived this and it is never good.

I can't imagine what my friend is going through.

Oh Susan how very sad. Prayers for the family.

 

[WDWLVR]

I could use a few prayers myself though nothing as serious as Susan. I had bloodwork done at lunch today and my platelets are back down under 100. Now they still can go up in 3 days as I'm scheduled for chemo on Monday. If you have the time and are so inclined please say a prayer that they go back up and I can have chemo as scheduled.

Thank you all!
