[alikat99]

Definately, 2 banana boats!!!!

Let's see if I can list everyone.

Diana
Mary
Julie (our designated lifeguard )
Carol
Gail
Cindy
Amy
Roxann
Tinkerbell (is it Erin?) & possibly her daughters
Karen
Mary J

Did I miss anyone?



I think what's going to happen is we are all going to be that we aren't going to have a prayer of a chance hanging on.

This is going to be a blast!!!

Ok, Chris said that he wants to go too, but we have to be on 2 different BBs, since we'll have to swap out the kids.

 

[scrappy910]

Okay, if any of these BB ride videos make it to America's Funniest Home Video we will need to split the winnings!!! I have a feeling this could be one hilarious ride, both for the rider and those watching from the beach.

I just told Joe of the BB girls ride and he wanted to know what kind of ride it is? He just leads too sheltered of a life. If the guys want to get a group to go I'm sure he would go.

[chipscinderelly]

Matt probably won't go but if some of us girl folk need to go with the men folk I can volunteer - just don't tell em about my trick!

 

[#1Mouse]

Oh Yes, lets plan for a guys BB ride too! John would go. Ok, I haven't told him about it yet, but I'm sure he would go!

So for the guys we have:
Chris
Joe
John

Any others???

Bruce the Shark will not be riding the banana boat. Shhh....don't tell him I told you this....but he's quite the sissy when it comes to water in his face. He brings a towel into the shower with him to wipe his eyes off and never goes under water in the pool. You would think being in the Navy, for all those years, he'd be more of a swimmer.

 

[Diana Lyn]

I wonder since all of our reservations are already linked for dining we can somehow coordinate a "grand gathering" of sorts for the banana boat rides?


I'm actually pretty excited about this, although I can personally guarantee that I'm going to fall off and little skinny Julie isn't going to be able to hoist my big butt back on the banana!

 

[cherylp3]

Can you put Todd as a maybe?

 

[rsschneck]

We are gonna have a VIDEO of ten women riding 2 bananas..................

I will need a cigar after watching that


Squid

No Comment! LOL

Do we make Banana Boat reservations @ 90 days or is that one of the "only reserve while on the island" excursions?

We want to do the Sting Ray excursion on the other CC day. Anyone else?

 

[curtdennis]

That's funny because I was reading that thread too! I know I should be finishing my cleaning, but I'm taking a break! It does sound like a lot of fun and it looks like the boat holds 10 people.

About the guys not talking to the boat driver---I don't think we should tell the guys what time our ride is. That will save us all from the video, the pics and the days of harrasment and jokes that will follow I'm sure!

Diana - You KNOW that information will be impossible to keep secret!!!

 

[WDWLVR]

Roxann - the banana boat is something you can book the 105, 90, 75 days out. BTW - replied to your e-mails. Thanks!

 

[WDWLVR]

Diana - I'm hoping none of us fall off but I especially hope I don't fall off. It would take a lot more than little Julie to pull me back on board.

I was thinking they would have to get one of those cranes that they use to get containers off of ships for me!

Roxann--I'd like to do the stingrays and Amy said her and Emily wanted to also.

That is most definitely my biggest fear, to fall off the banana and not being able to get back on. What a horrible sight that would be!!!!

yes, Emily and I are definitely going to be doing the stingrays.

Well, let's just think about it this way---we'll all be in good company swimming all the way back to shore! With all those fishies nibbling on my toes! (I have read that they just throw you in the boat if you can't climb back on!)

 

[cherylp3]

Does anyone have any info on the stingrays?

I'm thinking that little Julie better start lifting some weights if she's planning on helping some of us back on the boat.

I'm thinking Gary & Cameron would be interested. But, Walker tells me he doesn't want to snorkel again. Surprisingly, he hated it last cruise. I still have time for him to make that decision. I'm betting that we could cancel up to cruise time if he's still saying he's not interested.

But, am I reading this right, when they say hands-on interaction? Diana, that wouldn't scare the daylights out of you? It would me so I know I'm definately not intereted.
