Definitely off topic but I had to share with my nerd/geek family.
My son, after working at Universal since he left H.S. (He'll be 20 in June) at the Diagon Alley Tales of Beedle the Bard/Celestina show as a stage hand finally got into Frog Choir over at IOA. He'll be starting as vocal percussionist and then tenor. I'm so proud of him. He's worked very hard for this and he has always wanted to get into entertainment.

Congratulations to your son!! I'm glad it's paid off for him. I'll look for him as well in Nov.

That stuff makes me think about taking up running! Just think about it though...not really do it.

I think we have decided to do the Wine & Dine runs in 2017, so that we can go to the party DH already is a runner and has a done a marathon. So, the half won't be a problem for him. I hate running, but to get into AK while it's closed and backstage, I will do the 5K. Since DH is doing the half, I can get a ticket to the party. I guess it's better than the other things Disney encourages me to do, like eating and drinking bad stuff and spending a lot on vacations and merch.

When does he start performing?

 

[yulilin3]

When does he start performing?

he does his first show on Tuesday, he still has to figure everything out because Frog Choir is third party (I didn't know this) so he has to see if he can stay with Universal and do Frog choir, part time both...

That's interesting. Well, tell him good luck. I hope he can do both.

thanks, the hope is that he gets full time with Frog Choir (better pay and contract) but he'll be happy doing both

Sorry to go off topic, but I knew someone here would be able to give me an answer. I realize I get to book my fast passes 60 days out from our trip since we are staying on site. Is it at midnight 60 days out (so at midnight tonight for June 1 check in)./ Thanks and sorry again..

Found out why there is no dessert party on April 18th.
Disney is doing a promotion event, not sure for who I'm guessing travel agents and such, called Awaken Summer and on the 18th they have the dessert party space blocked for them.
Mystery Solved

Curses. Though maybe they will give a preview of the new?? Wishful thinking?

DPB post on the Star Wars Half merchandise, it's getting close!!

I want all of this. haha. I can't wait for the race! I am currently trying to figure out how to make sure I get all the items I want before re-sellers take them.

We are a family of non-runners that couldn't pass of the inaugural merch - so we have all taken up running and will be participating in the race! I signed my DH up to run the 10k JUST because the medal was better than the 5k! DS and I are doing the 5k and DD the kids races. Between the race registration, race gear, and race merch - we are going to go broke! Ha! But - I am looking forward to doing it once! Unclear if I will ever do it again - but will do it once!

When I first read this, the first language about non-runners but wanted the merch...I feared for you! haha. The runners get very upset when non-runners buy up all of their gear. Though, that is mostly directed at the ebay sellers. But I am happy to see that you got into it! It truly is addicting. Have a great race!

Maybe I'm late to the game on this, but The Force Awakens is available for download on Apple TV, my DH just bought it. I thought it wasn't supposed to be available until next week.

That is the DVD/Blu-ray. Today is the Digital Download day for the Force Awakens. I'm buying the physical media because it's going to be as cheap as Digital Media and will have more in it with extras.
