CSI: East Bunnyhop



Max has been a bad bunny!

Our call today was 6:30am, for a 10am show at a location 15 minutes from our hotel. Why are we up so early? Well, in order to be allowed on school property in Florida, we are required to be fingerprinted. Which meant we had to get ourselves to the Department of Education at 7am. Not that any of us were unhappy to submit to the background checks, mind you. Protecting our children is of the upmost importance, especially for people like us, who care about them deeply. However, actors (and bunnies) don't do well with 5:30am wake-ups.

We made it to our venue and had, in my case at least, a show from hell. I managed to run over on all of my costume changes, knock down the castle onstage and rip off one of the gorilla's knee pads (again; this just seems to be the nature of that costume change for me). To top it all off, one of the tarantula puppet's eyes (repaired when we were in DC) has decided to come unglued again. The kids, however, were none the wiser, and loved the show to bits. This show is a machine, and, regardless of what happens backstage, its that which matters. However, I still have some sewing and gluing to do. I really shouldn't be allowed near costumes.

After a nap and some pool time, it was time for dinner. On Theatreworks. You see, each cast gets one celebration dinner, and we decided to have ours at Wolfgang Puck at Downtown Disney. And it was awesome. Thanks Theatreworks. And starts our two days of Disney. Because, tomorrow...

WE'RE GOING TO DISNEYWORLD!!!

Kid quote of the day: During Blue Tarantula, one small child told a scared small child, "Don't worry, it's not real."

Call time tomorrow: 7:50am, La Quinta lobby. Did I mention: WE'RE GOING TO DISNEYWORLD!!
