The folks who get reservations early, like 180 days out, get the tables closest to the stage. I got resies at the earliest date possible for our last three HDDRs. All three times we were seated at the stage. I saw the cast girls looking at my SIL and obviously sizeing him up for the brave Indian scout. He was chosen 2 out of three times. The 3rd time one girl pointed him out to the other who pointed out that he was holding my sleeping infant granddaughter. They always look for a twenty something guy, good looking, strong. He fits the bill and wears tan cargo shorts with brown t-shirt or something similar. You get the idea. The can can dancer is a twenty something good looking girl. Again she looks the part. The Texas Ranger or Rangerett is a cute kid with a big smile about 8 or 9 years old. Davy's angel is a big man, usually gray hair. If you sit near the stage and have someone in your party that " looks the part", be sure this person can be seen by the cast and hopefully make eye contact. chances are pretty good to be picked because most folks just don't look the part or are not noticed. I need to review my home movies but I think they choose the guest "cast members" while they are doing the what state are you from song.
Now this is the one that's going on your Christmas cards, right?
