Well, after being told by Radio Disney that you would be able to hear the concert from around the wave pool we decided to take the day off to take DD8 to hear Hannah Montana. We arrived around 9:30 and the park was already real crowded. We took a look around and found a nice place to camp out right in front of the wave pool near the fence that blocked off the concert area. We had a good shot of the stage but let me tell you it was HOT!! They were passing out water to those in the concert area and thay were throwing out wet washcloths to our area trying to keep people cooled off. Around 10:30 they announced that they were going to be giving out wristbands for people to come into the concert area because not enough people showed up. So we went and got 4 and were allowed in. We stood in a shaded area and had some palm trees blocking our view so I had to lift up my DD to see anything. But she was very excited. The mom standing next to me said they just got to TL and were on of the last people let in. They closed the park down around 10:30.
Miley came out a little after 11:00 and sang maybe 3 or 4 songs before she left the stage. She had a band and some dancers. If the band really wasn't playing, you couldn't tell. According the schedule of the taping that we saw posted she was supposed to come back out at 1:00 to sing a few more songs. We figured that we had plenty of time to eat, swim a little and then come back. Wrong, we just finished up lunch, luckily right behind the concert area when we heard them announcing her. It was around 12:00. She came out and did the same songs that she did during the first set. I think they brought her out early due to the extreme heat. She was only out for about 15 minutes and then it was over. They kept the crowd there a little bit longer to get some more filming and by 1:00 they were tearing everything down.
We did see Miley during our trip down the lazy river. They were interviewing her near a building by the lazy river and everyone going down the river was screaming and waving. I lifted DD up so hopefully she was on camera.
It wasn't a "concert" as advertised. Like another Diser said this was a film shoot. And it was very hot and they made adjustments for that. But my DD was thrilled to be there and even my DS4 had a good time. I am glad we got to see her sing even if it was just a few songs.
There were alot of people with Hannah Montana lanyards walking around, I assume these were contest winners. I think she was having an autograph session probably with just the winners.
In the gift shop they had a Hannah Montana in concert t-shirt, hat and pin. Of course because DD was so thankful that we took the day of to do this, she got all three. And on the way out of TL they were giving away autographed posters of Hannah Montana and DD was luckily to get one of the last ones.
All in all it was a good day. DD was very happy. It was very crowded, even more crowded then on Saturday's which is the day we usually go. But we had a good time.
