Originally Posted By Mickeymouseclub P.S. It was a not an easy decision to make since I saw Chubby Checker will be performing at the Flower&Garden Festival. mmm Michael Jackson or Chubby Checker. Finally decided to go see EO and then maybe I can find a good excuse to visit WDW later. Chubby Checker performed last year. I went to the first performance and all the people around me were discussing his (tight) clothing. So all the ladies decided to get right back into the line for the next performance. Dang if the next outfit wasn't tighter...So then we all got right back in line again to see what the 3rd performance for the night would be. We all about fainted he strutted out in a good looking tuxedo. Really Classy! And enough charisma to explain a lifetime musical performance career. All age groups had fun with Chubby all weekend long. I am glad Disney invited him back.

Originally Posted By Mickeymouseclub He was in great shape so I am guessing that beautiful wife and all the grandkids and his successful food business are keeping him busy. You could only wish to be able to still excite an audience like that in your 80s.
Originally Posted By CuriouserConstance You're right, I hope when I'm in my 80s I'm on stage in skin tight clothes exciting the audience too, lol
Originally Posted By Mickeymouseclub I think we are theonly ones still awake. Of course it is later for me than you. i guess the little ones are tucked in bed. Do you have children that sleep thru the night?
Originally Posted By CuriouserConstance I am extremely lucky and have 2 children that have always slept well. They do sleep all through the night. My son wakes up at the crack of dawn usually and my daughter sometimes climbs into my bed in the middle of the night, but over all, I've been very lucky.
Originally Posted By CuriouserConstance They both started out their first few weeks of life being terrible sleepers, so it has made me appreciate how good they have become all the more. I didn't know if I would survive those first few weeks of newborn zero sleep. All of the sleeping in shifts with my husband and feeding every 2 hours. I was stressed to the limit! Thankfully that doesn't last long and they both turned into sleeping champions.
Originally Posted By CuriouserConstance I wake up at 4 am almost everyday for work though, so for me 9 pm is late, lol.
Originally Posted By Mickeymouseclub It is later for those not in the Pacific timezone. did you know DL has a 90% chance of rain this weekend? I expect the parks to close. I know I should cancel my trip. I keep checking the forecast as if that is going to help.
Originally Posted By gadzuux The recent reports have been that they'll close the park early if there's even a hint of rain.
Originally Posted By Mickeymouseclub You must have been away from the boards when all the uproar over DL closing early on the weekend due to heavy rains/storms and low crowds.I am used to really heavy downpours and thunder and lightning at WDW. And icestorms don't stop me from driving thru Texas at Xmas. But Californians don't drive in the rain? Just kidding I know the flooding and mudslides are very dangerous.
