ok so I just got the skinny.... we are picnic-ing and meeting my fam at the park inside the gates, across the street from parking lot D (i.e. across Highland from where the Hollywood Heritage Museum is) at 6:15ish so that we can get a table in there. We aren't doing it potluck style, more like bring an entree for yourself and share in the side dishes! Call me if you can't find us in the park.

Welp, didn't check the LoT in time for that - but I hope you had nearly as good time as we.

Enjoyed our rather romantic picnic up near the amphitheater, and the show exceeded even my rather grand expectations.

(Except that I was expecting Night on Bald Mountain as the encore, rather than Flight of the Bumblebee (WTF? Why?) - Maybe the, um, Cheranbog piece was considered too dark for the kiddies.)

Otherwise, it was completely rapturous and rad. Surprise Fireworks finale choreographed to The Nutcracker Suite was fantastic. Mickey coming out on stage to shake the conductor's hand after The Sorcerer's Apprentice was a great touch. The music was sublime, and most of the time I watched the orchestra with a vague eye on the film, but sometimes the film was great to watch with a live accompaniment.

We had fantastic seats, and the evening was just tremendously grand. I hope you guys had a great time as well.

Absolutely lived up to my (high) expectations. Loved the personal anecdotes Mauceri had to add, wish he was coming back to stay. Loved the "extra" pieces they added in, some of those chalk drawings (Clair de Lune) were gorgeous!
