12/09/06 Cruise Continued ~ Pirating Bananas DIS Geekorama Part 2 Part 8

V - I did have a dining question for you since you will be my tablemate. On our other cruise we had just a tabe for 4 so it was not a factor but I was wondering how this works with a larger group.

I know you can order multiple courses for dinner but last time I think we usually just ordered an appetizer or salad, entree and sometimes a dessert. This time I was hoping to be a little more adventurous (or piggy depending on how you look at it ) and maybe ordering an appetizer and a soup/salad just to try some more things. If I ordered 4 courses and you guys just wanted 3 courses how do the servers handle that? Does it slow down your service because I wanted to try a soup? Does this make any sense at all?

no I don't think it slows down service at all. In fact, don't worry DH will be doing the same thing!

I just know with little kids sometimes it is hard to draw out a long dinner even longer. I am probably living in a fantasy land as it is to think I might be able to have 4 courses since last time we were doing good to get the appetizer and most of our entree eaten before we started having to spend 90% of our time entertaining the kids. I am not sure I ever got to finish a dessert!

How much did you guys post yesterday??? Becka? Charolette?? Diane???

 

[DrHug]

Hey, so do we. Do they rip them off with thier mouths too? seriously, they do this. In the local grocery store where this is held, they sell the tools to do this without your teeth.

Wow, you said a mouthful there!

Samantha will probably go the club at some point and usualyy Haley is awesome on her own, she and Allie would probably entertain each other.

Nathan will want to get to the club too but Allie is the issue. I really hope her and Haley will entertain each other. That would be such a relief and probably lots of fun for them. If she refused to behave I am really hoping Flounders has some drop in availability.

I have to keep up my reputation of being the quiet, shy and nice one.....

We did eventually stop posting!

 

[DrHug]

Let's see....could it be that lovely festival that you have there, Becka?

It must have been a Great Festival. I heard that everyone had a ball.

 

[pyramid2000]

See we will have so much fun here that those who got to go to Knoebels will wish they had stayed home with us.

Did you have a touch of mini-meet envy there Becka??

[becka]

Lisa has the smilies of us at dinner and here is us at the terminal!

 

[becka]

Here is a hot tub for Vanessa!

 

[becka]

We need to save this one for when our documents start showing up! Do you guys realize this could be us in a little over a month!

Aaron needs to turn those buggers green Backa!!

 

[DrHug]

Are you talking sheep? Not bulls right?

At Rock Creek it is Bulls. No biting there. They use a tool called a Steering Wheel. (Just Kidding. I think it is called a knife...Sorry John... I cringe too).

 

[pyramid2000]

yeah - he was still on todd's pirate posts from yesterday - then he disappeared!! Maybe all the wench talk - he had to go find amy??

OMG!!!!

And you guys wonder why DH doesn't know about all of you?!?!?!

 

[pyramid2000]

We did eventually stop posting!

Ok, I'm up to page 2198 and there is NO SIGH that you are even slowing down yet!

 

[pyramid2000]

Just spoke to KRistina - the group is having a good time at Knoebels.

We missed having you Karen!

 

[Jhalkias]

You should have seen mine when I picked up the tool and DH told me what it was.... Yep, never been down that isle since. Do you sell those at your store?

Ummmmm . . . no.

Must be a West of the Mississippi thing.
