I've never been, and he's the whole reason I'm going!!! I cannot wait... I love the park at Christmas time!!!

Even if someone at work told me he's a raging alchoholic, and asked if I expected him to be sober.

Umm, as far as I know, Mr. Van Dyke has been quite open about his alcoholism, and has been sober for many years. Has "someone at work" actually seen him drunk in the last 20 years? If not, to imply otherwise is obnoxious rumormongering.

For the record, I, myself, expect to be sober.

I knew nothing about his personal battles, and frankly, it wasnt important to me. He's an entertainer, and that life is hard enough to deal with, without having to answer to me.
In my corner of the world, he's Dick Van Dyke, and to see him live and in person was all that mattered to me.

I was at work, acting about 14 in my excitment, and someone felt the need to burst my bubble.
it worked for about 10 seconds. Long enough to hear it, then tell my LoT friends, who were kind enough to clear it up, which I was hoping for.

I appreciate your candor, and am glad to hear it. If he can speak, its all good.

And what would an office be without obnoxious rumormongering?

I'm really looking forward to it, Dick Van Dyke couldn't be a better choice for the 50th.

A terrible thing indeed.

It'd be a fabulous thing... but, this is payroll, and I am the only Disney geek, and younger than most by 15, so its par for course.
That's why I hang out with y'all.

I will be there, I will be fed, and I will have a camera.
Having never seen CandleLight this is set to be a glorious day in the park. Life could not get much better than seeing a personal love of my life in person and hear him speak.

I wish Jerry Orbach was still alive.

He would be my dream choice. My love, my Lumiere'. However, I do agree that Dick Van Dyke is a wonderful choice for the 50th.

I must admit, that when I saw the excited reaction to a "favorite actor" appearing, I was hoping the answer to the question would be one of the following:

*Barry Williams
*Leif Garrett
*Ricardo Montalban
*George Takei
*Danny Bonaduce.
*"Grandpa" Al Lewis

I have to admit, I LOVE George Takei.

I'd hang on every word. Danny's screeching alone would be worth the price of admission.

Or maybe I'm just a freak. Yes, that's it.

OKay... I got a reservation for four, and the other couple got their own!

Does any couple want to join us for dinner
December 3rd
Hook's pointe
@ 5:10
to see the Candlelight at 8

(Otherwise we'll just scale back to a two person reservation)
