We saw them all last year. The girls would come out and my boys would dance with them (they developed a crush on the step sisters) and then they would want to wait around for the guys. Captain Hook's limbo was fun and I even danced with Genie. We could have spent hours in there. Can't wait to see who comes to dance this year! - goofymom2boys 498.3 #242 6-14-13 2:29PM

As someone who took a cooking class just to learn how to make hollandaise sauce I am LOLing at the edits of him making the sauce. It does not take just a little bit of time, more like 30 minutes of whisking, and if the sauce gets too runny or too hard it is impossible to save unless you have secrets from a professional chef. I'll pay the money to go eat at a restaurant anytime over making it at home! But great video! - MrsSchnooks713.6 #142 6-4-13 11:05PMLike Reply

Fact: HΓ€agen-Dazs does not mean anything. Doris Hurley, daughter of founders Rueben and Rose Mattus, reported in the PBS documentary An Ice Cream Show (1999) that her father sat at the kitchen table, in 1961, for hours saying nonsensical words until he came up with a combination he liked. The reason he chose this method was so that the name would be unique and original. - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint1840.1 #43 5-14-13 4:21PMLike(5) Reply
