So the Daughtry concert was amazing! I liked him a lot on American Idol and he didn't disappoint in person. Truly nice guy, great performer, very appreciative of his audience and interacted with us quite a bit.
I noticed something that had changed since last year - the signs on either side of the concert stage that prohibited photography of any kind - are now gone. I waited until the concert traffic had cleared afterwards, just to make sure the signs weren't somewhere else - but they weren't. I even asked a couple of very professional and knowledgeable Team Members who were both surpised the signs were gone. They did say, however, that they have never been directed to enforce those signs. After all - hey - you're having a concert at a theme park where almost everyone has a camera!
The food was delicious this year, although I was saddened to see my beloved cajun wings had disappeared from the menu. There are chicken strips with various sauces, but it's just not the same...
Everyone there was so nice, as usual. Great Team Members - one young lady in her Mardi Gras outfit pointed to my beads and said "I don't want to know what you did to get those sir!" LOL!
We hung out in Monster's Cafe to eat and wait for the drizzle to clear out, which is did about an hour before show time. The evening and the weather were perfect!
I noticed that a lot of the floats were not well lit, and I could see several lights that were not illuminated on them. I wonder if they got wet and shorted out from the earlier rain...
But the parade was awesome, we caught a few beads, and the concert was amazing. Such a fun and great night. Looking forward to the BNL next week!
