Pssst, for those who don't speak N.A. Typo, that last line was supposed to read "
geek him out."
I hope zappp will post some of his photos and links to some video clips. Dick Van Dyke was awesome, had one minor line flub, but clearly never had the stroke, heart attack, or bout of emergency alcoholic onset that Marie Osmond, seated two rows behind us, was clearly waiting in the wings for.
Dick got a huge collective goosebump out of the audience when he told us that this was his
second stint as Candlelight narrator - - having last done the honors in 1965, at the height of Mary Poppins fame.
And heheh, as Ponine alluded to ... there was one guy among the hundreds of choir members who did not sing a word. Ironcially, I think he became the most noticed of them all by virtue of his stubborn non-participation.
It was a moving ceremony, and I hope they never again make the misguided move to hold this event in the Fantasyland Theater.
Town Square = Candlelight Ceremony.
