My notes at this point get a little jumpy. But hopefully
some editing will help them make more sense.
After resting my dad and I made our way to Fort
Wilderness. We were meeting Brian, Katie, and Denise.
But first we stopped at the desk in the lobby to get some
birthday buttons. One for my dad and one for Katie. My dad really wanted to
force the Disney spirit on Katie and I was game.
We took the boat over and walked around while we waited
for the others to show up.
Once they did Denise and Brian played some checkers. Can
you tell how cold it was? And we sneakily got a birthday button on Katie’s coat
without her knowing.
Eventually we were able to take our family picture and
head into Pioneer Hall.
Our waiter was full of puns. I like puns, but sometimes
he was a little too much-especially for Katie.
We are huge fans of this show and try to do it every time
we go. The food isn’t my favorite, but it’s because I’m a picky eater.
The corn was great and the mashed potatoes were super
creamy. The baked beans were ok, but not our preferred style. I’m not a fan of
fried chicken or ribs, but everyone else said they were good. Our dessert of
strawberry shortcake was amazing as per usual.
But the star of the meal was that corn bread and honey
butter. Especially the honey butter. Katie and I kept eating more bread so we
could have butter.
And Katie found something she actually loved at Disney.
And then something equally amazing happened. I had scoped
out the crowd and thought it might happen, but didn’t say anything because I
didn’t want to jinx it.
We were sitting there and the spectacularly funny Claire
came over and got my dad and he was picked to be Davy’s Angel.
I was so excited and I think Katie really enjoyed seeing
my dad like that. It may have opened her eyes to the wonders of Disney.
After this and even to this day, my dad talks about how
he was Davy’s angel.
I did take the time to interview him about the
experience.
He said the backstage area was cramped and looked like a
high school stage. As someone who danced for fifteen years I find that kind of
thing interesting.
He also said it was both challenging and rewarding to
find his inner angel and share that with the audience.
They gave him a picture of his time on stage and here is
a picture of that picture.
We really enjoyed our time at the Hoop Dee Do Revue.
