    I darn near broke my arm trying to get a folding theatre seat under me while sweeping my pleats - had to have my wife hold it down while do the sweep myself. Things like that are why I'll be panted some days while I visit The Mouse.
    To sit in a theater seat, try this: Sweep and begin sitting with the chair seat still upright. Press the back of your legs just above the knee to the edge of the seat, this captures your pleats in place. Now sit fully, using your weight and leverage to lower the seat to the horizontal position. Support yourself on your arms to control yourself if need be.

    Sitting in theater seats like this I actually have LESS trouble keeping my pleats straight than if I sat in regular chairs with arms on them.

    It works even in stadium seats, but be warned - if they are as steep as the seats here at Angels Stadium (Edison Field?) and the person sitting in front of you happens to look behind them, they wont have to ask the question, they'll KNOW.

    Have fun Jamie! I know you will.

    And eFer, take your kid, they will love it. Both of our girls went for the first time when they were 2 or so, and had a great time. Surprisingly, they actually got more shy around the characters as they got older. When they were youger, they would run right up for pictures and a signature.

    Ttfn!

    Well Everyone,

    Signing off for a while. Tomorrow we head for the Magic Kingdom at 4:30 AM
    (we are driving and would like to get most of the drive done with the children asleep). Should be a fun time. I'll check back during the weekend. I'm sure you folks won't come with too many post in 4 days? :rolleyes:

    Cheers

    and
