It’s true wherever you find love, it feels like Christmas…There really is nothing like the holidays at WDW. This trip was pure magic, wonder, and joy, and all I want right now is to be back enjoying a gingersnap cold brew and getting ready to listen to the storytellers at Festival of the Holidays. #wdw #labefanaismyqueen #festivaloftheholidays #mvmcp #travelswithkatie #takethetrip (at Walt Disney World) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmSCIDmuMuMjXx5ouXMeDVcMCVDGyhD_DhsVJw0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

2017 VoicePlay fall activities — go, go, go ’til you ho-ho-ho
The last few months of the year are usually a busy time for singers, and this year was no exception for VoicePlay. Once they had wrapped up their summer projects, they rolled right on.
.
And they're off
The boys leaped into autumn by heading north once more for shows in NYC and Reading, PA.
They also threw their hats in the ring for a Hostess snack cake giveaway. (They didn't win, but that's okay. Some of the fans always made sure to keep them well supplied with sugar anyway.)
Tumblr media
.
Back home, it was time to start rehearsing for their third and final year of residency at Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. They also needed to prep for their upcoming trip to the west coast, and film their next music video. Eli did manage to sneak in a bro brunch with their old friend, Jeremy James, though.
.
A little West Coast swing
For the third weekend in October, the guys embarked on a fast-paced trip to Los Angeles. They crammed a concert and three video shoots into just three days.
They kicked things off with a Saturday night show in Palos Verdes (and teased the locals a bit by calling it by the translated name "Green Sticks").
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
.
On Sunday, they packed in two music video shoots. They started with one of their two Christmas tunes for the year and new collaborator Shoshana Bean. Then they hopped over to reunite with Kurt Hugo Schneider for a little Broadway music.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
.
Monday was time to get silly and messy with the pocket.watch ladies and some Taylor Swift.
Tumblr media
.
Keep it going
When they flew home, the boys were met by Rachel Potter once again for their second Christmas song of the year.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
.
Merry Hallowee-mas
All the preparation the guys had been doing for the upcoming holiday season didn't mean that they would ever neglect spooky season. After a few days of rest, sound guy Paul Kaleka and J.None kicked off the weekend by winning Indaba Music's Spooky Jams contest with a song called "Ghosts and Goblins".
VoicePlay released their video for "What's This?" from The Nightmare Before Christmas on the day before Halloween, and used it as a segue into their new holiday EP, "Warm Up", which they announced at the beginning of November.
The tracks are a combination of revamped tunes from the previous year with J.None's vocals added into the mix, this year's three new offerings, and one more new song that received a video during the following holiday season.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Note that J.None is credited as a member of the group, not a featured guest.
.
One more spin
Just over a week after they'd gotten home, the boys headed out of town again for a student workshop and a concert at Western Illinois University.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
.
Off to the races
One week after that, it was time to kick off their MVMCP schedule in the Magic Kingdom.
Tumblr media
With sixteen shows per week for the rest of the year, it would be reasonable to think that job would be their sole focus. However, persuing a career in the performing arts isn't usually a path for sensible folks. There were still plenty of other engagements to keep them busy. For the second night of the residency, VoicePlay handed the reins to their backup guys and scooted up to Ohio.
.
But wait, there's more
The reason for their visit to Dayton was headlining the Kettering National A Cappella Festival. The trip there didn't go nearly as smoothly as they would've liked.
Tumblr media
Once they actually reached their destination, though, the concert went off without a hitch, and the audience had a grand time.
Tumblr media
.
The next weekend, they took a drive down to Avon Park for a show at South Florida State College. Because it was close to home, Kathy and Geoff decided to bring little William along for the first time.
Tumblr media
Uncle Earl always seems to end up holding the babies in group photos. 😁
.
Having the week of Thanksgiving free from their Disney World duties didn't mean that they just kicked back and relaxed. First they hopped on the middle leg of a Disney Magic cruise for a three-day jaunt to The Bahamas and back.
Then on the evening of Thanksgiving itself, they gathered up Erik Winger and scooted down to the southeast coast to perform at the annual tree lighting ceremony for the Boca Raton Resort & Club.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
.
On another day off from MVMCP in early December, the PattyCake guys teamed up with their friends at Entertainment Central to film a very beachy Christmas romp for their Atlantic City Boys group in Cocoa Beach. The final "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" / "Here Comes Santa Claus" mashup video was originally posted to Michael Evans's channel a week later, then reposted to the group's channel a year and a half after that.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
.
That weekend, Winger joined VoicePlay for a two-show day at Mariner Church in Sping Hill, FL.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
important preparations — ear plugs and power naps
.
When Rockapella came to town on their holiday tour near the end of the month, Layne and Cyndi took little Doris to see some of their pals.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
.
J.None spent both the weekend before his birthday and New Year's Eve rocking out at local shows with Paradigm Party Band.
.
That's all, folks
With the year coming to an end, the VoicePlay guys finally took the chance to relax, spend time with loved ones, and prepare for the coming months. But those are tales for another post.

Complete Guide to Magic Kingdom
Complete Guide to Magic Kingdom
There is nothing quite like Disney’s Magic Kingdom theme park in Orlando, Florida. It is the most visited theme park in the world after all. Almost 21 million (20,963,000) guests visited in 2019. That is a lot of visitors, visiting a theme park in the middle of Florida. In 2021, Magic Kingdom turns 50. That’s right, Magic Kingdom first opened on October 1, 1971.

collaboration spotlight — VoicePlay B-team live performance at MVMCP 2017
Because the Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party residency at Disney World entails nearly 100 performances — 4 shows per night, 4 nights a week, for 6 weeks — it's necessary to have replacement singers who can step in when someone needs a night off. (If nothing else, Layne always took his birthday off. Let alone the possibility of someone getting sick or injured.) For the 2017 season, VoicePlay's primary backups were their buddies in fellow a cappella group Echo.
While they usually only needed one or two substitutes at a time, there was one night early in the run this year when VoicePlay was double-booked. So while they suffered through airport security hell on their way to the Kettering A Cappella Festival in Ohio, Echo took to the Tomorrowland stage in their stead, and did a great job performing the usual set. Give it up for the B-team!
youtube
setlist: [0:23] "Deck the Halls"; [2:30] "Holiday Road"; [4:40] introductions; [5:43] "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas"; [8:33] "Frosty the Snowman"; [10:40] "Santa and I Know It"
Echo members: Tony Flaherty (tenor 1), Deejay Young (tenor 2), Erik Winger (baritone), Antonio Fernandez (bass), & Joey D'Angelo-LaJoie (percussion)
performance date: 10 November 2017
My favorite bits:
the lovely blend of Erik and Deejay's voices as they enter
Tony's little jig step at the end of "Deck the Halls"
Antonio's cheerful tone on the lead for "White Christmas"
the rewind effect Joey adds to the end of the sleigh bell moment
Deejay's nimble riffs and runs in "Frosty"
the coordinating glances between Joey and Antonio during the second half of "Santa and I Know It"
Erik's big old belt near the end
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Trivia:
Antonio had subbed for Layne several times before, particularly during his paternity leave the previous summer, but this is the first (and only) time I've found of him standing in for Geoff on bass.
Deejay has collaborated with VoicePlay on many full-length videos and shorts in the past few years, starting during his hiatus from the Hamilton tour during the pandemic lockdown.
Joey and Deejay are both alumni of the "Beetlejuice Revue / Mashup" show at Universal Studios, having performed alongside Geoff, Kathy, Tony Wakim, and J.None during their tenures. Both guys had played the Wolfman, and Joey also performed as Dracula.
Joey has since appeared in episodes of PattyCake's Villains Lair series as LaFou, which he'd originated in their "Beauty and the Bieber" video earlier in the year.
Tony Flaherty appeared in PattyCake's "Avengers: Thunder" video as Peter Quill / Star-Lord the following summer.

MICKEY’S ONCE UPON A CHRISTMAS TIME PARADE 2019 PREDICTIONS
 unit by unit, in order. exactly what i did for boo to you.
INTRO
i doubt anything will change here, it’s all pretty classic 50s/60s characters i don’t think they’d add anyone
FROZEN
now with the new movie coming out at the end of the month, i could see them putting the characters in those costumes... it would be nice to see them in their christmas costumes too. it seems they already have the costumes for frozen 2 appearing at disneyland paris
Tumblr media
SWEETS
i don’t see anything changing...
PRINCESSES AND PRINCES
no i don’t think they’ll add or get rid of anyone here either...
TOY STORY
WELL WELL WELL we will definitely have changes here...
first of all, they’re most definitely getting rid of THIS HORRIFYING CREATURE
Tumblr media
i mean i don’t see why they wouldn’t, but i’m just wondering if she’ll be wearing her blue clothes from the redesign or if she’ll have a new outfit with the original dress or maybe the blue with the skirt i don’t know but she’s definitely not gonna look like this anymore i don’t know what’s going on with that one it doesn’t even look like how she looked in the first 2
Tumblr media
i’d say option 2 is the most probable but 3 or 4 could be a possibility as well...
now something else weird here that i think they’ll change is that the float itself doesn’t even have buzz on it? i swear he was in this parade is this a mandela effect i have no idea BUT since they added them to boo to you this year it would make sense to add him to ouact as well... even more sense actually since woody jessie bo peep and bullseye are all in it. maybe take the army man off the float and replace him with buzz and have the army man walking in front with bo and the elves?
FINALE
they definitely won’t change anything here this part is so iconic... the soldiers, the reindeer, santa... they’re not changing anything here
SO that’s my predictions for this year’s parade, not as much to go off of as bty since a lot of things for bty were announced before the parties started. also i realized this parade has less units than bty but more floats? interesting...
