Yep, 60 bands over three days.
I saw an ad for a Flower Power cruise. Just what's needed, a bunch of paunchy 60 something year olds in bell bottoms, paisley or tie dyed shirts and fringed leather vest wearing love beads.

Oh. That actually stinks. It is making Disney look better actually. When we went my favorite meal was actually the buffet on Castaway Cay.

Did you have to pay extra for Guy's? Don't think they have a veggie burger though.On Carnival Lido Deck buffet is open 7 am-midnight and the pizzeria/deli is 24 hours. The sodas are extra but you have the option to buy a refillable mug package on sail day then you can drink as much as you want. That gets you free soda in main restaurant also. Snacks, like ice cream (also 24 hours) is also free. Plus they have Guy's Burgers.
And the main restaurant menu changes everyday but I had steak three nights on our last cruise.It was sooo good. And not an upcharge for it made it better.
You're also allowed to bring one case of soda, bottled water and bottle of wine or champagne on board with you.

So thw whole front bumper is now falling off of my car. For no apparent reason. My dad walked in the house and asked if I'd had an accident. I was like, "Um, no..."
I'm so done with this car.

Indeed, no veggie burger, but, Guy's is free of charge...!!!

Nope, Guy's is free, as much as you want. The fries are fresh cut. No veggie burger but the ships have the Blue Iguana Cantina, also free, where you can get a loaded veggie burrito and it has a big salsa bar.Did you have to pay extra for Guy's? Don't think they have a veggie burger though.

I went on a cruise shortly after those Sketchers Shape Ups came out. Their early iteration of those shoes was basically one of those yoga balls in the middle of your foot. The idea was that the ball of air provided instability, and your body would get a workout as your body tried to stabilize itself. It was also a week or two after I got home from Iraq, where I was not able to drink any alcohol.
So picture being heavily buzzed while wearing bubble shoes while on the ship in rougher seasI'd rather hit the treadmill. It felt like when you were a kid and you put on your grandmas glasses and looked at your feet!
Oh, I had also bought a pair of those dangerous Shape Ups--doctors saw all kinds of ankle injuries from those stupid things!! I twisted my ankles a few times walking in those. Finally chucked them. That was a good year before the lawsuit came out. about them not delivering what they were supposed to do.

So, I guess the Garden Rocks concerts, during the International Flower and Garden Festival at EPCOT, are probably not for you. To each his/her own, I guess.
Yet, many of the stars still put on a great show for their audience. I've seen a number of these shows down through the years.
There's a cross section (all ages) of guests visiting WDW who enjoy the rock groups from that era, and I haven't noticed any of them in the audience wearing clothing styles from years ago, and the majority of them are not out of shape, either.

Might there have been some rust and corrosion in the screws, or whatever fasteners were used that attached the bumper to the car?

I was hoping that you folks would allow me to be a little meloncoly tonight. I was listening to Pandora Radio a few minutes ago and they played a song that I hadn't heard in 50 years. It not only hit me with a flood of memories from back then, but, also instituted a few newer ones as well.
A little background... My father was an avid Barbershop Singing fan. He ate, and slept Barbershopping. He had persuaded me to get into it as well and was the youngest member of the organization ever, at that time. 12 years old if I remember correctly. Anyway, there was never a time in our house when there weren't quartets practicing or records playing. One of the favorites, I believe I have mentioned before, they were the quartet that was on Broadway and in the Movie, The Music Man. I think I have mentioned them before. One of the songs that they recorded was one of my favorite songs called "Remembering Time" and the biggest memory that came back to me was when I went into the Air Force. Basic Training at Amarillo, Texas. I was known for the fact that I was always singing something, mostly to myself, but, in the evening I would sit in the barracks surrounded by a group of lonesome, homesick, scared young men who had spent the day being belittled, maligned and insulted, run ragged and generally abused and sing that song. The more I type this, the more I realize that my early life was a sappy, B movie. I remember looking around and seeing men 18 and above with tears in there eyes. It might have been because I sang so bad, but, I prefer to think that it was because of the song and the lyrics. This is it. I won't mention it again, but, I just needed to not be dead on the inside for a few minutes... I'll be back to normal soon. I hope you enjoy this song as much as I did.

That's my generation and I see many of us out of shape.
This was a cruise targeting Boomers. They had contests for best dressed hippie and stuff like that. I'm not going back to those days any more than I'm going back to 70s leisure suits and 80s big hair.
