I've seen big crowds and small crowds for these shows. It sure is validating for these kids to have a nice audience at their performance.
We hope to see you there! :cool:

I hope they have a great performance and a good crowd watching. As well as that more than anything those kids enjoy every moment of this chance they got to perform there!!!

We had a great crowd and a wonderful experience!

Lots of people stopped to watch. Our workshop was led by a phenomenal musician who has recently recorded in studio for Phineas and Ferb, Zootopia and World of Warcraft! All around, a wonderful experience.

Sad the canoes were closed. It's one of my favorite things to do in DL. "Frozen" was rife with technical glitches that may have been solved with more rehearsal or a soft opening. Overall, a wonderful trip!
