It is the Galbraith tartan and the kilt is a USA Kilts Semi-Traditional model that is my Go To kilt for traveling. It has served me well for MANY years and still looks great

Do they still have the Peter Pan ride? When I was stationed at 32nd Street, a girlfriend and I were ejected from the park for celebrating our love over London. What memories!

I'm surprised they didn't make you part of the brave section

Peter Pan is still there, and if you've not been in some time, id say it's improved as my favorite part was the queue as they have a pretty cool interactive shadow wall and Tink zips about the room ")

Nah, that girl is probably 45 years old now. We fell out of touch. But nothing could improve that ride the way it was that day in '98.

That churro stand has my name on it - literally! In my teens I did the same thing in Disneyland with my high school orchestra. I'm glad Disneyland is still giving that opportunity to young musicians. Thanks for sharing your photos. That's a great looking tartan. If I decide to get a p/v kilt in the future, it will probably be that tartan. I usually only wear Mackintosh tartans because of my father's Mackintosh heritage, but since none of them are available in p/v, I'll most likely choose one in the Galbraith/Russell/Hunter shared tartan since my mother is of Hunter heritage. I can think of a lot of scenarios where a p/v option would be preferable to a wool kilt - and that would probably include Disneyland. :-)

Willie,

The kids get so much out of the backstage work shop in the recording studio with a Disney musician as well as their performance. It really is their first glimpse of how far they can go if they are serious about music. My Galbraith tartan (shared with clans Russell and Hunter) USA Kilts semi trad is a real winner. Having a kilt you can wash in a washing machine and is stain resistant is a very nice option for a lot of activities. Up to, and including, a trip to the Magic Kingdom.

Cheers

Jamie

Those are cool!

As you all know I've worked there for nearly 30 years.

I see Guests in kilts just about every day, but they're nearly always Utilikilts.

Rare is the Guest in an actual kilt. It's a treat to see.

But for myself, I would never dream of showing up at work in any sort of outlandish get-up... no, wait...

I know most of the musicians there, at least the "old timers".

Do you recall who worked with your band people?

BTW in my son's seven years in band (3 middle school and 4 high school) I was one of the ever-present "band dads".

My son's first year in band, in 6th grade, when I met his teacher I told her "my attitude towards learning an instrument is probably different from most of the other parents. They probably think of it as a hobby. I work at Disneyland. I'm in Local 7. I think of it as a potential career."

(Local 7 American Federation of Musicians is the branch most of the Disneyland musicians belong to; or Local 47 in Los Angeles most of the guys who do all the studio work belong to.)
