Fishing excursion info

[M&M's]

Here's a direct copy from Disney's web site. A few things to note: only 5 guests, so one roundtable member would get a "get out of jail free" card. Also, there are many different times, so Pete has no excuse that it's too early. I for one would love to hear this, or maybe even see this if y'all felt like not being shy for once.

This price in INCORRECT. We took our first fishing excursion in Sept 2006, from Old Key West marina, 4 people on the boat, price was $225. Another one a couple of days later, also from Old Key West, $225. Our third one was in April 2007, from Boardwalk dock, 4 people on the boat,price was $235. Finally our last fishing excursion was in May 2007, from the Yacht Club marina, we had 8 poeple, took 2 boats, price was $235 each boat.

The price is per boat, up to 5 people, $235. This is for a pontoon style boat. This also includes a years subscription to BASS magazine. (We have 4 years now. )

Additional information: along with rods, bait, etc being included, the guides also bait your hooks and take the fish off the hooks for you. You can hold your fish for pictures if you want to, but you don't have to touch them at all.


I haven't listened to this weeks podcast yet, to know why this subject even came up, but I just wanted to give this information. Now that being said there are other fishing excursions available, I believe there is another kind of boat available at some marinas, only 2 guests allowed and they are $125 per person.

I don't think the price has changed since our last fishing excursion. I saw this incorrect price reported last October and therefore thought we wouldn't be doing fishing excursions in the spring, but when I called the price had just gone up $10.

Aw, come on Kevin! Just think of all the bonding you guys will do I actually PMed Julie the info on the DIS which lists all of the different fishing excursions. Have fun

 

[Michele]

But Kevin, like I said, you don't even have to touch the fish. The guide will do everything, all you have to do is reel it in. It's the best way to fish, none of the dirty work. Wait, it's the 'Disney' way to fish.

 

[DisneyKevin]

Not listening....

Fingers in ears....

LA LA LA LA LA LA

I'm going to apologize up front because this is where I upset the fishing folks...

Paying $125 to sit on a boat in the hot Florida sun to pluck unsuspecting fish out of Bay Lake with a metal hook through their lip seems like torture to me and the fish.

Now...if I was trapped on a deserted island and I was fishing because I was hungry....well thats different...I believe in the old "eat or be eaten" adage....but I'm not going to eat the Disney fish.

On top of all of that....I fear for Bob and Julie's safety. Bob because he's going to want to teach me how to fish...and Julie because this was her idea.

I can see the headline now "5 left the dock and only 3 returned".

And I'm too pretty to go to prison.

That's just code for Fishin' hate speech!

Just kidding Kevin.. I'm not much of a fisher either..

 

[WebmasterJohn]

My idea of fishing is pointing to the lobster I want to eat at the restaurant.....

[MenashaCorp]

At least you'd be (almost) guaranteed the fish wouldn't be frozen!

 

[Cyrano]

can't disagree with you there

 

[Cruz Family]

Disney fish.

And I'm too pretty to go to prison.

 

[cocowum]

Can you imagine how hilarious that segment would be. OMG.
Bob patiently trying to teach Kevin how to fish...

Oh man! This is too funny!!

Love the fishing hate speech!

Thanks. It's been a while and I had forgotten how iced coffee tasted through the nose. I still prefer drinking it through the mouth though.

As for the info I posted, it was a straight cut and paste from Disney's website, so if it's wrong, blame Disney!

And based on the podcast and this thread, it sounds like this may come down to a three person excursion. Hopefully Bob will take off the kaht cam and bring it onboard with himself, Corey, and Julie.

It could be a special edition of kaht cam, like schoonah cam or something (even though it's not a schooner, it's the only thing I could think of that ended with 'er'!)

 

[DisneyKevin]

Can you see it now?

Bawb on the boat, on his kaht, and tooling along at 2 miles an hour screaming "I'm the King of the World?"

Where is that train noisemaker?

Well if he's Leo's character, then who will play Kate Winslet's character? Kevin......?
