Pfft. All you need for the authentic Golden Horseshoe Revue dining experience is a bag of Fritos and a Pepsi.



If Parm Jim is right that this is a 10-15 minute Redux of the Golden Horseshoe rather than a full-scale revival of the shoe, I retract what I posted above. (But, with reservations required, it sounds more like the former.)

Alas, January is insane for us, and I can't commit to any of those weekends at this time. Maybe the 19th/20th, maybe Feb 2nd. Maybe. Those are supposed to be downtime days between insane insanity so it depends on how insane we feel.

I also like the sound of Long Lost Friends week, when rarely-seen character (costumes) will grace the Park. Any way to find out when that's going to be?

I remember one of the coolest things about the big 30th Birthday was they brought out EVERY character that had ever walked Disneyland - many with costume design clearly not out of mothballs since the 60's (this happened in 1985). There were no scary Mickey heads from 1955 - but basically EVERY character in as recent a costume as there was. So many were really really old .... and awesome!

One suspect the "no running" rule will be broken getting from rope drop to that podium.

Out of curiosity, how long was the original show? About the same as a Billy Hills show?

Typically, the GHR ran about 25 minutes. So why bother with a 15 minute version? Why not add the 10 minutes? As Parm Jim pointed out, they could do an hour if they included a bunch of the songs that were rotated from the show during its 4-decade run. But pick a few that would add up to the typical running time, and include the opening and closing number that, I believe, were the same forever (Welcome to the Golden Horseshoe, and Pecos Bill).

Humbug. I refuse to attend.

You didn't want to go anyhow.

I'll likely go to one of the reserved evening shows, because I really want the souvenir mug (see my previous note re: "milking the nostalgia market"). The ham sandwich and fruit salad, maybe not so much. Also, looks like you have to pack your own Pepsi.

I do hope the show makes audiences as happy as the original did, and is as much a tribute to Betty, Fulton, and Wally as to the Revue itself.

Just reserved two seats for opening night...

Huh? Are there online ressies only for opening nite? Because I thought the ressie system was the same as old times, i.e., Day-Of, In-Person.
