Me: What do you remember from this Christmas, my first?
Mom: That it was very very hectic because you were a little baby. And this was the Christmas that I wrote that column about, the one where Bobby was being bad when I was decorating the tree, and I told him that Santa Claus was looking in the window, and would know if he was being bad or not. So Bobby was three, and he was all "yeah, right." Then he looked out the front window and there WAS a jolly fat Santa Claus outside in the street. I didn't I find out until years later that it was Eddie, our next-door neighbor—he was practicing to be Santa Claus at the children's ward of the hospital.
Counting down to my next trip to Walt Disney World this week by posting photos from each park starting with the Magic Kingdom.

After my Dad sang with the Dapper Dans, he received his offical "Honorary Member" membership card. Now that is something to flash around to people! :)
There is nothing wrong with knowing the name of Disneyland´s barbershop quartet without having to look it up...
I'd never seen the Dapper Dans dressed in anything other than their "standard" costumes that many of us have seen as they walk up & down Main Street, USA. During Mickey's not-so-scary Halloween party, though, they were dressed as a different type of quartet...
The Dapper Dans of Main Street, Magic Kingdom, Walt Disney World, Florida. Fantastic barber-shop harmonies.
I don't often get a chance to watch these guys in the summer as it is just way too hot to stand on Main Street, but they were set up that I could stand in the shade. Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Here is our spooky friend Dummy Dan, a vintage ventriloquist dummy made in the 1930s by the Ralph A. Freundlich company. He has an articulated mouth, and is still dressed in his dapper suit. Composition head and hands, cloth body. So cool!

The Cadaver Dans entertain guests before the Boo To You Parade which is part of Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party in the Magic Kingdom, Walt Disney World, Orlando, Florida. You may have seen this barbershop quartet on Main Street USA during the day as the more lively Dapper Dans.
