Main Street Firehouse – Disneyland

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!

Grand Californian Hotel Lobby

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!

Moonie and Broon Show

Intermission dancing on the carpet. Audience members kept heckling us to get up on the stage and dance, but that felt a little disrespectful…it’s not our show…we’re just dancing to entertain ourselves…if it entertains others, that’s nice, but we can’t invade another performers space that they paid for! We can only co-opt the public space of said performance space. }:-)
