Bwahaha :-) Truth. I'm with houseofmouse, this isn't seeming worth the money to me. I'm excited to see the (free) show though!

i guess it also depends on where your seats are. If the mug is glass - that's 15 retail right there. maybe almost 20 these days at the park. and a lunch (sorry, sandwiches are a lunch) is 10 retail - so there you have it.

I think it also depends on whether you are the type to pay fifteen dollars for junk a glass boot!

For me it's still a no. Doubtful the boot is glass. I can get a sandwich that is 7 inches and loaded at Which Wich for 5.45 and a 6 inch sub at Subway the way I want it for the same. Even at Gunther Toody's my sandwich is only 7.00. Where on earth do you eat 10.00 sandwiches?

Exactly - especially when a large portion of the menus at some of the dining locations are sandwiches. Look - I never said it was such a great deal you should go and do it. All I am saying how possibly Disney would justify the cost. That's all.

And where exactly are they? No mention of that in the announcement. Is this special, reserved seating up front? Or is it a whole show just for APs, so we'll be packed in and there's no guarantee of where we'll be sitting. $35 would be fine for me if I knew I'd have a nice seat for the show. The mug is also a bonus. The food is nothing to write home about, but most Disneyland food isn't.

Wow. is it me or is Disney is really getting shameless with their money grubbing with these "special events"?

Yikes - now that some of you are saying the boot may not be glass, I'm doubting this call I've been on hold with for 15 mins so far!

you can view it that way - but I am sure if you asked someone to look at the business possibility that if the public pays then go ahead and charge. Only if the public does not pay would they discontinue something. Notice I did not say make it free - they just would not offer it. This whole LTM marketing program will be interesting to follow this year.

I, and others before me, look at it this way. If you really want to go, and experience this event with what is offered, then pay the money and be satisfied that you will have a certain experience. If you have questions, ask them. If you have doubts, don't buy it. I am still on the fence so if I wait anymore it may be sold out - but that's because of my actions. You can use our comments as input - but I would not say we all know exactly what the event will or will not be. What if someone REALLY REALLY likes roast beef sandwiches and potato salad? should they not go because a larger group here says so? that it's not worth it? those are opinions - so read them all and then make the call (or not) - and have no regrets.

Haha, you got me there!! That is true. Although now when I want a sandwich I am going to The Earl!!
To see a free show I just can't imagine paying that price per person just to get some food. I mean there are a TON Of AP'ers out there. :) I am betting it will be a very crowded full house.

"money grubbing". Well, I guess you can say that about anything, but last I checked, Disney *is* in the business of making money. And, no one is forced to pay this money to see the show. People can just go and try to get a ticket to any of the other show times. It's only the 6:30 show each night that's reserved for the AP dining package. It also sounds like the normal shows are on a first come, first available basis, so since the theatre isn't that big, it's possible someone might get to the theatre and have them be sold out. Buying the AP dining package guarantees entrance to a particular show. The food and the souvenirs are pretty incidental, in my view.

When I first heard about this, it wasn't something that immediately caught my attention. I don't have any memory of the Golden Horseshoe Show, so there's no nostalgia factor for me. Left to my own devices, I probably wouldn't attend. But a friend graciously offered to organize an outing for a group, and the husband was interested, so we're going. I'm curious to see what it'll be like, and it'll be a fun night out with friends regardless.

To me, this dining package isn't any different than the Fantasmic dessert seating, or the World of Color Fastpasses that are available for dining in certain restaurants, or the dining packages that have been offered in the past for Candlelight. Any of those events can be seen without paying more than simply having park admission. Those willing to pay more can enjoy a few more benefits.



Yikes - now that some of you are saying the boot may not be glass, I'm doubting this call I've been on hold with for 15 mins so far!

I'm actually hoping it's not glass. That would be a lot more unwieldy to manage. I loved the old plastic mugs at Big Thunder BBQ. I'm kinda hoping the mug is more like those.

Here would be my thought. As the Limited Time Magic events continue throughout the year, many will have additional charges attached whether that be through special merchandising or privilege packages (like the Golden Horseshoe Show). Disney is looking to extract additional revenue from its park guests (espcecially targeting APs). As an AP who is not local, my trips to DLR are for mutiple days at a time and I work within a budget. If I wanted to see the Golden Horseshoe Shoe with my wife (which I don't - I want Billy back) I would look at back at what could be substituted - i.e. the Golden Horseshow Show would be an even substitution for a lunch at the Blue Bayou. Is there a ceiling on what fans are willing to pay? In my case yes. But if the answer is no, paid events and price increases will continue. Bob Iger has said as much with his "price elacticity" comments.

OT: I was thinking that about the Billys too. I looked at the schedule, though, and it looks like the Billys are in the Golden Horseshoe on Tuesday and Wednesday, at least in the two weeks in January that I looked at. On the weekends, they're back at the Jamboree, but that might be temporary because of the Show being in the venue.

As I get older, I'm more willing to pay money for a guarantee that I'll see the show. I feel that $35 for not having to wait in a long line (with the risk of not getting a seat) plus dinner is worth it, even though it strains my budget a bit.

For those complaining about the money, remember that the bulk of the shows are free. Disney could have charged for all of them instead of reserving one a day for lazy, money-slinging folks like me.

FWIW, I have many fond memories of this show from when I was a kid. I just hope that they got someone good to take Wally Boag's part (is Steve Martin doing anything these days?)

He seems to be pretty focussed on his music. He does gigs with a band and has an album due out with Edie Brickell.

Wow, Steve Martin has a band?? :)

I have memories of being forced into the show as a kid when I was with my parents. I have the soundtrack on my Disney CD's and now enjoy listening to it. Would I want to sit through the show? I am not sure. If I paid for it then I would feel obligated to. If I just tried to catch it, which I won't be able to, and got bored, I could quietly leave.
