It’s no longer Firehouse 5+2…it’s Hook & Ladder? Oh well – they still play great music! A mixture of jazz and Christmas tunes that were fun to dance to!

The pianist showed up and started a half hour medley. He started with Disney love songs (mixed with Hotel California and Hero), then transitioned to a swing/jazz set of songs including Makin’ Whoopie and Old Man River. The tile floor around the edge of the lobby is VERY comfortable to turn on without being too slippery. Yay!

Rumble Kings were at Downtown Disney, Swingtown was at Carnation Plaza and Scott Bruce was at Tomorrowland Terrace…never has dancing been so conflicted!
We started with Rumble Kings when we arrived at 8:15-ish and by the time we finished and fought our way through Disneyland traffic, Swingtown was finishing their 9 o’clock set (at least 15 minutes before the fireworks which is unusual) with I’m Just A Gigolo/I Ain’t Got Nobody (which they do really well), so we sat through the fireworks and danced the 10:15 set with the supposition that Scott Bruce had an 11 o’clock set. But when we get there, we find out the printed schedule was wrong and there was no 11pm set…BOO!!

A little bit of dancing while waiting for friends and deciding what’s for dinner…
A little bit of glorious relaxing dance while traipsing back through Downtown Disney…such glorious music playing after hours at Downtown Disney…how??? Why???

Amazing acapella Dickens quartet with some fun up-tempo songs (including Feliz Navidad and You’re A Mean One Mr. Grinch) that was really fun to dance to(especially hitting the breaks and switching salsa and lindy on Feliz).

Toy Story Mania broke down….quite a looney selection for a group of drunken reprobates…
No it broke and we were on our way to Disneyland for swing dancing when that one song came on that nobody recognizes that really swings. So we danced!
