We'll be heading to DL soon :woohoo: and were planning on riding the Mark Twain boat since we missed it last time. With the Princess Tiana thing that they are doing at night does anyone know if the Mark Twain will still be sailing in the day? I'd hate to miss it again :sad2:

I thought the show was all afternoon?


Tiana's Showboat Jubilee!
Rivers of America
11:15 a.m. 12:45 p.m. 2:45 p.m. 4:15 p.m.
 
If DLR follows the lead established here in Florida, it does indeed mean that the Mark Twain will not be open for Guests (outside of those selected to be in the show) until January.
 
Sorry, I must not have been paying attention. For some reason I thought it was one show in the evening, don't know where I got that idea :confused3

Last trip to DL the Mark Twain wasn't running, it was only the Columbia. I was really looking forward to riding on the Mark Twain. Oh well, someday I guess.
 

You can attempt to become one of the fifty "clean cut Disney families" discussed in this Mice Age article from Al Lutz:

"The entertainment plan is to debut a 20 minute Mardi Gras style mini-parade and musical show called Tiana's Showboat Jubilee that will perform four or five times per day this November and December. The Showboat Jubilee will start as a procession of two dozen jazzy musicians, dancers and performers in the back alleys of New Orleans Square, marching and celebrating and encouraging people to parade along with them down to the riverfront. When the growing procession finally heads out of New Orleans Square and down towards the water, the Mark Twain will depart from its dock and steam towards the bend in the river in front of New Orleans Square.

On board the Mark Twain for each show will be 50 specially selected park visitors, no doubt picked by the roving scouts because they were wearing one of those "Celebrate" buttons that are de rigueur for any Disneyland visitor nowadays. Along with the hand selected tourist families hanging along the riverboat's railings pounding tambourines and waving flags will be Tiana herself, plus her prince and Louis the singing alligator and comic relief in the movie. The rowdy procession and the Mark Twain will both stop alongside each other at the river's edge, and a 7 minute musical show takes place that is predictably heavy on audience participation and dancing.

Once the show is over, the procession heads back into New Orleans Square and the Mark Twain blasts its whistle and steams on for the rest of its trip around the river. The 50 guests on the Mark Twain will then get a special meet n' greet time with Tiana and her characters while the Mark Twain makes its way back to the dock.

Tiana's Showboat Jubilee is planned to debut at Disneyland in early November, several weeks before the film opens in theaters nationwide, and the Jubilee will then run daily through the busy Christmas season. We'll of course have more info for you later this year on how to get your clean-cut family picked to join in the fun on the Mark Twain, if that's your scene."

I'll look forward to our fellow DISers filling us in on how to get selected! ;)
 
oh oh oh Pick me pick me. :) I'd love my family to get selected. There would be a fight though on who has to stay on dry land to film the ones on the boat :)
 
The funniest thing would be if my family was selected. I am the only girl surrounded by all boys. I brought the show up at dinner the other night and told the boys (DH included) that I would be watching the first show and they could come or not, but that I was going to go see the new Princess. DH was super awesome and asked me more about the show and told the boys that we would ALL be watching the show since Mom wanted to. :lovestruc I don't push much for princessy things since I have never been a totally girly girl, but I knew that with the Jazz music and all that it would be fun.

So, if we are picked it will be me, DH and 3 not so happy boys riding the Mark Twain. :lmao: Which will totally make me laugh and might make it the best trip to DLR, EVER!!

Can you tell I'm really looking forward to it??? :upsidedow
