October 11-18, 2008 Disney Magic Parrothead Pirates in Paradise Chapter 9!

[lawmom3]

We were on Center Hill at Sligo. We could see the Ragland Bottom Rec Area from the lake house where we were. I have a couple of pics I will post. Have to go get the camera out of the car. Have a good dinner at Cherokee!

We tent camp at Ragland Bottoms! And I learned how to ski when I was 19 on Center Hill Lake. Last time we were there we were trying to figure out which house was Alan Jackson's. Those are great times--what a serene lake it is. Now OHLake is the last place you would call serene if you know what I mean!

 

[lawmom3]

Thankyou very much for the info and thanks to everyone for all the "good luck." I think we might need it! We have decided to do Daubloon as well.Candy and I are going to devide and conquer.

We'll be on the afternoon snorkel with you is that is when you decide to go. I've been having the girls practice snorkeling in our pool "just for fun"...but they have no idea the real reason why! They know nothing about this cruise yet!

 

[lawmom3]

Back out for another go on the lake....see y'all prolly later tonight. Is everyone resting up for the stroke of midnight tonight when the Palo dining may magically re or disappear?

We've got our dinner booked but would actually prefer brunch this time.

Have you posted about your dining experience in a trip report by chance?? I have read or heard a story just like this one. I would hate to think that this happens very often...If so, these people are just on the wrong ship!!

Hello, I'm back!

No, I haven't done a trip report, but I have discussed this before with other people on these boards. I may have even told you guys about it before. Several months ago, I came on line and said "Hello" to you guys. Then my life became very hectic for several months and I drifted away. Maybe I told you guys about it then.

The house is owned by some family friends. We were there for my DW's sisters 40th BD. (heir&spare) It looked like a dis meet. Almost everyone there will be on the cruise! Here are a few pics.

The other view....

The "back" door.....

For those of you not in the Tennessee area, the lake level is low because of the problems they are are having at Center Hill Dam. It is leaking, and has been for 35 or 40 years. Now they have suddenly decided it is a major problem and must be repaired immediately.

I think my question of "Does anyone want to play tag while on the cruise" either got ignored or brushed by, so I'll ask again! Wanna play? If not it's no big deal. The boys enjoyed it more then anyone. They loved seeing who they could tag next and then we would let them go and find the room themselves. If we do want to play I had Veronica make us a sign.....

I'm in for tag!

I think anyone who lives in a State that has an oil well should give out a gallon of gas!!!!
Anyone who lives near a distillary..........

LOL... you mean you aren't looking for a sack of potatoes from Idaho???

Hey, that sounds great, dd and I LOVE potatoes!!!!

Nah I'd rather share a Landshark with you and your cousin LOL. I have rather weird tastes. I have never met anyone else who really enjoys a scotch and Coke as much as I do

LOL, dh bought some Landshark for the 4th of July after I told him you guys liked it, and it is now his new favorite beer!!!


Evening all!! I just had to skim over like 400 pages of posts LOL! I am not sure if I am even staying up to book anything tonight. My guys want the regatta, but honestly I think that's the only thing I'm booking. I don't want Palo dinner, and I'm sure brunch isn't doable. I can't decide on anything else.
Still not sure what dd and I will do while they are on the Regatta, may hang out and shop with Alex and clan. Then we have the fun of trying to find the guys when they are done and figure out the best way to get to Maho after lunch. Anyone got any ideas for me on that???
St. Thomas is still completely up in the air, we just kinda wanna hang out and explore, I'm just again, not sure how to get from one place to another.
Randy, are you sure you don't want to sail with my guys???

How is everyone tonight?

 

[gssmks]

I have a question. I am the only adult in my party. If I book Palo, do I have to go alone or can I pick someone, say a good Diser friend, to treat to dinner?

Hello everyone!

Trying to get stuff done tonight. watching Stranger Then Fiction, but also out to water flowers and gather and put out the trash. My chores are never done.

I have decided I am going to make a list of everything I do every evening and then when I am at football with Connor, Colton will have to pick up the slack and help me. I just don't know how else I can do it all!!

Erika, how was your weekend away? and I have you down for Tag!

Good question, but I unfortunately do not know the answer.

It was good thanks! Beautiful weather. Hours and hours in the convertible both days. We dined outside for lunch both days, walked up the lake for a Chocolate Banana malt to eat on bench for dinner and even at breakfast outside at the hotel. It was about as nice as a MN summer weekend can be!

Thank you-we can't wait to meet everyone as well. We have been on several Disney cruises, but never got involved with the Disboards until now-quite addictive.

I noticed you're from Miami. What part? I used to live in Kendall and Homestead for several years before moving to the St. Pete area a couple of years ago?

 

[Fivepin]

The more the merrier. Jump in and have fun

Thank you

Oh BTW Judy

Don't worry about catching up. It could take you well past our sailing date to do that We go pretty fast so just catch up or jump in wherever.

And when we're asking something specific about the cruise we often do a Cruise Question: on the the top so its not easily missed, cause we've been known to lose posts here

Thank you for the info-still very new at the DISboards, but learning quickly

Pm or email (see link below) me your email address, and I will send you the link to the website so you can see what all is on the list. Then you can tell what all you want to put on the list. Then I will update it and send it to everyone!
Allen

Will do Allen-I sent you an email but it got returned to me saying you weren't accepting mail. I'll PM you.

Welcome back Judy!!!!

Thank you-can't wait to meet everybody and get involved with the fun. Seems like I'm going to busy this cruise. We're doing Palon dinner and brunch and some spa treatments and all the other fun and games.

 

[elgerber]

Hmmmm I can't even log in to the cruise website on my macbook. Guess I may pass on late night booking tonight, since I'll have to do it downstairs on my desktop.
