DISNEYLAND HOLIDAY PARADE SPECTACULAR – NOV.6 & 7, scoop

[Grim_Grinning_Girl]

Hi, OK so the following isn't a special offer or anything like - it's not available to us. My 16 year old cousin is part of a dance group and they have been invited to perform at Disneyland in November. My cousin forwarded the info she received because she would like the family to go. Again this isn't a deal that's available to us, but there's some interesting info on there I thought others may want to read - I'm gossiping

I have removed the group's name, thought about removing the names of the hotels they are staying at, but maybe it's better to leave them in since they have reserved 60 & 20 rooms!!! You may want to stay away from the Carousel Inn and Anabella Hotel around then !



DISNEYLAND HOLIDAY PARADE SPECTACULAR – NOVEMBER 6 AND 7, 2009

As many of you have heard, **** dancers have been asked to participate in the Disney Holiday Parade and ABC Christmas Special. This is going to be a fun, new adventure for our more advanced dancers. To date, I don’t have the exact price but have been given an approximation. The initial price below includes a one-day ticket to Disneyland, an 8 x 10 picture of our group of dancers in the Disney costumes, a professional dvd of the Parade, poms or a prop, souvenir pin, costume, rehearsals with Disney/ABC staff and the performance. Extra Disneyland day passes may be added to the price at a reduced rate. The family tickets will be available at a largely reduced rate much the same as Magic Music Days packets. All dancers must purchase a performer package and cannot use their annual passes. Remember these prices are an approximation as they have not got a final costume price but they have assured me these are close and may even be lower than what we have posted.

1 Day Performance package with 1 day/1 park ticket - $250
2 Day Performance package with 2- day Park Hopper - $285
3 Day Performance package with 3-day Park Hopper - $305
4 Day Performance package with 4-day Park Hopper - $320

In September, we will be sent a dvd of the choreography which is broken into two sections – one for the younger dancers and the other for the older dancers. We will be teaching the choreography on a Sunday at ****’s Studio (there will be a $1 rehearsal fee to **** for the use of her studio – payable by each dancer). All dancers must know the choreography and be able to perform it with a huge smile in forward motion prior to arriving at Disneyland. On Friday, November 6th, the dancers will meet at the backstaging area of Disneyland (details to follow at later date). At that time, they will be costumed and will go into a full parade rehearsal in forward motion. From this rehearsal, Disney and the ABC staff will be selecting dancers who will be dancing back-up to the Disney Stars in the Christmas Holiday Spectacular which is filmed directly after the parade on Saturday, November 7. Those dancers who are chosen will not be dancing in the parade but will be taught choreography for the show and will be in the show instead. WE, at ****, have no jurisdiction as to who is chosen for the back-up dancers.

On Saturday, November 7th, the dancers will be given a time to meet (probably at 7 a.m.) at a staging area. The parents (with a Disney Park ticket) will then be able to go into Disneyland (dressed in Christmas apparel) as they will be the audience – remember this is shown ”live” on Christmas Day. After the parade and the show is finished filming, the dancers will be taken back to the staging area where they can change into street clothes and join their family in the Park – (using their one-day pass). Please note – you will have a one-day/ one-park pass in this package which is good for Nov. 7th for Disneyland only – all other days must be added to your package. I have reserved 60 rooms at the Carousel Inn, which is located directly across the street from the Maingate parking lot of Disneyland. I have also reserved 20 rooms at the Anabella Hotel which is across the street from CA Adventures , located at 1030 W. Katella Ave. The rooms are reserved from Thursday, November 5th – Sunday, November 8th with check-out on Monday, November 9th. The group rate is $87.00 per room per night for 2 queen beds -- including a continental breakfast buffet for the Carousel Inn. The group rate is $87.00 per room per night for 2 queen beds plus $10 per day per car for parking – no breakfast at the Anabella. These rates do not include tax. Rooms are available on a first-come-first-serve basis —when the block is full, we will not be able to add rooms.

You will be responsible for paying for your own room via credit card directly to the hotel including all incidentals. A deposit of one night’s fee must be given at the time the reservation is made. I will give you all of the ticket order information for both the performance packages and family discount tickets as soon as I get them. This should be a fun experience for our dancers – so mark your calendars, reserve your hotel rooms and tell all of your friends to tune in to ABC on Christmas morning to see our dancers in action.
