The tall guy in the green shirt and Santa hat who is RIGHT in the way during the performance is BRADY!! (Courtney found me too! I am the one right in front of Brady with the sparkly santa hat.)
The next day we took all of the kids but Meghann. It was opening night of her play and she was stressed about missing school that day. So we took Courtney's friend Kennedy instead.
The forecast was for rain - a 100% chance. The weatherman was right. When we got there we found out that the Jonas Brothers were being taped. Everyone was all excited. About 10 minutes later we were standing in pouring rain, pulling out rain ponchos and we heard the director say, "that's a wrap." No more taping of the Jonas Brothers that day, they were rescheduling them for Sunday. Boo!!! We played around for a while in the park and then headed to the Grand Floridian hotel for the taping of Celine Dion. So did a million other people, or so it seemed. That hotel was packed! But, somehow we worked our way up tothe front and had a great spot. In fact, one of the camera guys loved Brady and Jordan and asked them to get in a certain position so he could tape them. Watch for them Christmas day!
Inside the Grand Floridian - when we were actually dry
She was stunning (but I was afraid her dress was going to fall off)
We got rained on, but where else can you actually have FUN in the rain? There was no wait for the big roller coaster rides - the ones people wait an hour or more to ride in the summertime. It was great. And a bonus - we were given 7 tickets to come back on Sunday but sold them on Craig's list. Cha-Ching $$. Here's to keeping the Sabbath day holy.
One more perk of being Mickey's neighbors...Meghann got to perform at Epcot Center's Candelight ceremony. It is basically the reading of Luke 2 by some (not so) famous person with local high school choirs providing music with Disney musicians. The guest narrator on Meghann's night was Kit Kitteridge (what is her real name...? Amanada something I think). The night before it was Vanessa Williams. Brady was able to chapperone her choir so they both earned two free Disney passes.

And in Utah we get to shovel snow, drive in the 2nd worst air in the United States, fight the fog in the evening and early morning hours and prepare for another winter storm of 1-6 inches today. Thanks for upgrading our life somewhat with these great pictures of people we know having lots of Florida fun.
I can't believe you were that close!!! What a fun Day!!!
How fun!!! that is amazing.
Oh not fair! And I think you spoiled it for me-I thought they were all there that same day. I watched the parade but just read your post so I couldn't watch for you! And Celine's dress on the show was a different color? Or no?
I am totally laughing at Brady's head all the way through that video! You know that camera guy was cursing him the whole time. ;) Sometimes it really pays to be tall! It looks like you all had an amazing time. The pictures are all great!
Thanks again for all the Christmas gifts. I can't tell you enough how perfect they were for everyone. Thank you for being so creative and thoughtful. =)
