St. Thomas/Blackbeard's Castle

[ToDisney]

This sounds interesting... especially to my 3 boys. I see it's attached to a hotel and restaurant. I had no excursions planned for St. Thomas. Can anyone give me any info on this?

TIA!

We did not actually go here, but watch out for all the time share peddlers trying to get you to go there. They promise all these prizes, but you end up spending a good chunk of your day there and you miss out on St. Thomas! We didn't get sucked in but our tablemates did.

We were suckered in at St. Maarten's with the promise of seeing the castle ruins there by a timeshare that wasn't mentioned to be a timeshare offer but a "chamber of commerce" special.

Be very careful - they wouldn't let us get a taxi back (taxi's had to be called for by the timeshare). .... so we put our little actor (Michael who was 6) to work - he started whining LOUDLY and crying that he was "hot, sick and wanted to go back to the boat". I mean, it's the kind of thing that drives everyone nuts, and it worked! They quickly called us a taxi after he announced in the middle of the "lovely" waiting area that he was going to throw up all over if he didn't get back.

Gotta love that kid - he sure got us out of that! And yes, I let him have the rest of the day for himself and he got to pick out a toy from the ship's store for his "extraordinary performance".

Sounds like my kids, only for real. Only they never get me out of something I don't want to do! Lucky you!

I know to appeal to the "HAM" inside Michael!!!!! He's a performer all the way!
