Jetty Park is where the two palms camera is located. 4:30 would be a good time to get there. So we could watch the ships sail by. Mike

The 4,000 in total for the thread you can see on the Cruise Meets overview page to the right of our thread's title. We are now at about 4,030 posts and nearly 50,000 views - meaning that the lurkers outnumber the posters by 12:1

I GET IT!! (Sometimes, I'm blonder than I pay for!)

I thought you were counting personal posts. I didn't realize you were counting the posts of the thread!

Mary--Thanks for asking. I'm doing as okay as can be expected. No change to report.

Chat later.

Just a thought:

We have a propane mini-tank, floor burner, huge stainless steel cooking pot, portable stove, etc. if you'd rather do a lobster boil or a Beaufort Stew on the beach. Also wouldn't take much more than a couple of minutes to stop by the local supermarket to pick up some picnic stuff for potato salad, buns and stuff either.

All of the equipment shouldn't take too much space in the back of the van. We bring practically the whole house with us anyways... a few more pieces isn't going to make that much of a difference to us.



Jim.

This sounds good to me.

Also, since we have to go to Walmart or Target to pick up diapers, we can pick up a little grill that we can toss (if you don't have one of these, Jim) after our beach party so we can cook hamburgers, hotdogs and toast marshmellows. What does everyone think?

Arlene, You are on the list for chips, dips & snacks. Thanks!

Renee, they have grills we would just need a cooker (Jim ?) & charcoal, aluminum foil. I can add the hotdogs, etc to the list as soon as Jim agrees.

Oh Yeah and the smores stuff- yummy

Ok, since I'm bringing the paper products (plates, napkins, forks, spoons, knives, plastic tablecloths and wipes), I can also bring the aluminum foil and charcoal too. BTW - I'm going to Walmart or Target to pick up diapers for Haley so it won't be a problem picking this stuff up.

And graham crackers and sticks....

 

[papa]

Sticks, we don't need no stinking sticks! Wire coat hangers are the bomb. Smores Smores Smores. Kathy and I are bringing some hamburger patties, hotdogs and buns. Mike

 

[cdnmickeylover]

We will bring two disposable grills to cook on and utensils to grill with. They come self-contained with the charcoal, foil and grill all attached and completely one use type of thing so they should be perfect.

Does anyone have directions?

Sounds like a great time! Unfortunately, we'll miss the Friday get togethers b/c we won't be getting there until very, very late Friday. So, we'll see you on Saturday. I can't believe how fast the time is going now!!!
Regards,
Laura

 

[jeanneg]

Auntmeme: I wish we could be a "yes" but unfortunately we will not be getting in until late in the evening. We plan to spend friday night at an MCO hotel and catch the Disney bus in the morning. The beach party sounds like it will be great fun.....much better than Grills (and cheaper too!). If there were no penalty for changing the time of our tickets, we'd be tempted to do it. HOWEVER, since the beach party was my idea to begin with, I've got dibs on any leftover s'mores!
Fiona: your cabin is situated close to ours.......save the leftover goodies and I'll be knocking on your door with a bottle of wine!

im really worried about doing the banana boat rides with my kids. i am a plus size woman and i have the fear of not being able to get back on if i fall off and unfortunately DH cant do the bbr due to having had back surgery a year ago.....i was wondering if there is an adult out there that would be willing to go on the ride with my 4 girls. i would cover the cost for the ride. we are scheduled to go at 2:00.

thanks
Jill

Since we will Be Traveling with Those New Hampshire people
We would love the tailgate party ideas at jetty park...

Could make a couple of Trips to rad and Ron jons Since we have MINI Van 7 passengers for those who would like to attend
But do not have Transportation...

Like some people just use a towncar service to Get to the Rad or Ron Jons...
