Aww it sounds wonderful a must watch! and I’m sorry you had to add the Jonas Brothers to the list I really am :(. Other than that it sound tinsel!
We’ll be taping the show on our DVR, so we can watch it carefully and rewind if we need to. We were at the Magic Kingdom in WDW on the day they taped “Yanni and voices”, in the front row, on the left side of the castle. I’ll be curious to see if we’ll be seen. I don’t expect to see us, but you never know.
We had won tickets to be there for 6 segments (4 performance groups and 2 parade groups), but since the first one took over 4 hours to tape, we couldn’t “afford” to stay for the second performance the first day and any of the others, because we really wanted to see and do things in the parks.
Merry Christmas to all, from sunny San Diego, California!!
Hope you have a Merry Christmas, Thomas Smith! Thanks for sharing with us. :o)
Thank you, Krista. Merry Christmas to you too.
Hey, there I am top left with the Santa Goofy hat and black rimmed glasses! Those Buddies were so adorable! Can’t wait to see the Parade tomorrow morning!
