How insanely busy will Coquitlam Centre be on Sunday, May 2nd?

Let’s examine the facts…

• Playhouse Disney is promoting some shows via a cross Canada mall tour (Ok…I’m listening).
• “Wow! Wow! Wuzzby! is the show they’re promoting here (I have no idea either).
• “Wow! Wow! Wuzzby! is performing at the mall and doing a meet and greet (I STILL have no idea).
• Mickey Mouse will not be appearing and neither will Handy Manny (WAH!).
• Jack Grunsky, Juno award winning musician, (known for his moving renditions of penguin shuffle, fruit salad, and alligator stomp) will be performing (Yeah!).
• There will be Playhouse Disney giveaways (Double Yeah!).

Hmmm…with all that in mind, I’d say this event is a “definite maybe”. It would be fascinating to witness so many hyperactive, nap-deprived toddlers and preschool children in the same place at one time. And… “Yes”, it could get ugly but “Hey”, it might be fun too.

At the very least, you can always do a little shopping, (there’s 910,000 square feet of retail therapy just waiting for you) in stores like The Bay, London Drugs, Sears, Sport Chek, Zellers, T&T Supermarket, H&M, Aritzia, Sephora, and Lululemon.

p.s. This just in…Wubbzy is from Wuzzleberg where he spends most of his time with his two friends, Widget and Walden…does that help? I didn’t think so.

Just kidding…I think?

This Saturday, April 17 the theatrical production of Franklin and the Adventures of the Noble Knights hits The Centre For Performing Arts in Vancouver. This musical adventure follows Franklin on a quest to recover the lost “Golden Necklace” of Princess Harriet.

As many of you know (all too well), Franklin is a turtle that stars in his very own cartoon on Treehouse. Awww, our beloved Treehouse (and the Disney Channel for that matter).  Never, say never to television as one day you too may need to take a shower after 3 days. It can be a lifesaver.

By all accounts this will be a good show. Personally, I never understood the appeal of this little reptile but then again I’m not watching Franklin through the eyes of a 19 month old boy. Caden LOVES Franklin. It’s as if they speak the same language. Caden’s first major word (after MaaaaMaa and DahDah) was, of all things……”TUR-TLE”. Huh, what happened to “ball” or “car”….nope, it was turtle.

It’s unfortunate that my “little one” can’t stay still for more that 5 seconds so no theatre experience for us this year. Hopefully, Franklin makes his triumphant return next year. If he does, we’ll be the first in line.
