I don't mind answering your questions if I can remember them all. First, the joggers were not noisey but I did wake up to a whistler one morning. And every morning the crew would wash our window with a hose about 9 AM. I TRIED to get his attention by waving, but he didn't notice me. Another time a young boy put his face to our window to look in and I just happended to be in front of it. I put my face to the glass and stuck my tongue out at him (in fun!), but he didn't respond. I also jogged on the track and couldn't see in, but my sister walked at night and got some free entertainment.....
Thursday was lobster night and they served it in the Italian restaurant as well. I can't remember what night the choc. buffet was but I think it may have been Thurs as well. You won't miss it since they announce it several times. It was so-so because they had the same desserts on several serving tables. I only eat DARK chocolate so I wasn't impressed, but I'm fussy when it comes to chocolate. You will probably love it.
They had a sock-hop on Thurs PM so I was there when the choc. buffet started. I left at 11:30 and the line wasn't too bad by then.
There was only 1 formal night (Sunday) and I didn't have my luggage so I had to wear a moo-moo from the gift shop and thongs---not the underwear, but shoes! My sisters had gowns and I felt awkward standing next to them. THere is no formal wear rental so I was at the mercy of the gift shop.
There were some younger couples but I'd say the average age was in the 50's. LOTS of seniors. If you want good seats at the shows, go at least 1/2 hr. early. We enjoyed them, especially Pete, the juggler. I loved the gymnast, too, and the dancers were very good. The talent show was fun and very entertaining. If you think you might want to participate, BRING YOUR OWN SHEET MUSIC or background CD.
We didn't gamble except a few dollars in the nickel slots. I won $40 one night (which is good for nickels) on a machine called "something Party" with yellow letters. It must have been paying pretty good because I could never get back on it again. It was ALWAYS in use! I never played black jack so I can't help you on that one.
Hope this helps.
Jean
