LOL. Poor Meghyn wanted a drink so bad because of the container. They need to come out with a non alcoholic kids version.
Are the Pina Colava's coconut flavored at all? Not big on the taste of that.
We did see the cups there, wondered what they were! I am sure you could order a virgin one, DW does that when she dosn't want the alcohol! The Pina Colavas are a light rum, coconut mix, and pinapple garnish! pretty good!! If you don't like coconut, it might not be your drink!

The rum may not be fast enough. But a tap on the noggin with the rum bottle might do the trick. :D: We can dream, can't we.

Since they were (from your description) right behind your drivers seat, I would have been tempted to mute my mic (or hold my hand over it) and politely tell the parent to please keep their child safely in the seat so she won't fall and get hurt. And then I would also ask if she could keep her voice down as if she is too loud the animals hide from the truck and "you won't see as many animals". This turns it around to helping the guest maximize their enjoyment instead of telling them "no".

Ugh sounds like one of the little monsters we had the "pleasure" of suffering through the Sunrise Safari with a while back. Croc bait for sure

Years ago I went to Ren Faire in Denver. There was a presentation about birds of prey with about 100 people listening. The presenter had just started when a Timmy started whining. The presenter looked over and in a firm voice said, "Quiet." Timmy stopped.

About a minute later Timmy started in again. The presenter, now obviously pissed, used his outside voice. "QUIET!!" No more peeps from Timmy.

A good application of RUM, plus you don't waste it on a landlubber pollywog!!

Dare ya to eat the top BW.

Grump....have you ever had one of them. They are a POLY specialty. YUM, lots of RUM. Yes I got a major buzz from it since I am not used to alcohol either. LOL
I do like some Lemonade in it. I also like it without. Very tasty drink, and puts me under the table in no time.


My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

Can you order it with the leomonade as a variation, or is that a local "discovery" and modification!!

A few years ago on the Safari there was a lady behind me who keep saying that the crocodiles were not real. I told her they were real since I have been on the Safari several times as well as the Sunrise Safari. She just could not believe they were real.

Too bad you couldn't do what the did at the bar in the phillippnes, it you didn't believe they were real, they gave you a piece of chicken and allowed you to put in on the nose of the "statue" hehehehe lots of guys learned to levitate!

(I am referring to a bar in Subic Bay that had an alligator pit with alligators in it, inside the bar!)(they also had a smaller one in front, but too many people messed with the alligator, so they removed it)
