Elvis Billy just about sends me runnin' to the ladies' room every time we see the show... Absolutely cracks me up with those teeth! And for a long-lifetime Disneyland visitor it's almost inexcusable, but my first time ever in the Golden Horseshoe was during the Big Meet in July 2006. For sha-ame! ;-)

On extremely busy days, you may want to grab seats just as soon as the audience comes out from the previous show. Of course, it is acceptable to have one person hold a table for you. However, your whole party should be present by ten minutes to showtime.

If anyone is a musical nut like me, you'll be pleased to know that the set designer for "Calamity Jane" with Howard Keel and Doris Day modeled the Golden Horseshoe after the one in the movie. What a great movie it is, too! Here are some more fun facts: <a href="http://www.jansworld.net/golden_horseshoe_pages/gh_main_page.htm" target="_blank">http://www.jansworld.net/golde...page.htm</a>

Originally Posted By liveforvacations I just saw this for the first time on our last trip and we absolutley loved it. It was such a hoot! My family doesn't like to get to things early and wait so we just showed up about 10 minutes before show time and sat upstairs and we found those seats to be just fine. The line up for food was really long though so next time I think we are going to get something somewhere else and bring it with us!

May is a great time to go,maybe we should stock up the Pearl and meet you at Billy Hill. I think SuzieQ, Lisann and Pixie are all ex Pearl crew members so I could probably put them to work. I wonder if Billy Hill would join to entertain the rest of the scullywags? Email us. CJS

Originally Posted By utahjosh I did, Captain. Billy handed me the mic after their first number, and they incorporated it throughout the show. It was fantastic! (video of the proposal is on my website, joshtenney.com!)
Originally Posted By SoThisIsLove Hey! You can SING, Josh! Unfortunately, my work prohibited me from accessing the second clip, but the first one gave me the idea. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding. You have a lovely bride to be and FINALLY the pay off kiss at the end of the video! My goodness! I thought you'd never kiss her. I was ready to cue up "Kiss the Girl" for you! It was nice to see that she is a Disneyland FANatic as well. That's a good sign! Best of luck to you and utahlibby. United forever, best of Disney friends. xoxo
Originally Posted By utahjosh Thanks, SoThisIsLove. I don't know why it took so long to get to the kiss after the proposal! She and I were both in shock, i think. They Billys were so great to make it part of their show.
