It’s no longer Firehouse 5+2…it’s Hook & Ladder? Oh well – they still play great music! A mixture of jazz and Christmas tunes that were fun to dance to!

Disney’s Grand Floridian Monorail Station (on the way to Epcot Day 1)
Not only does the Grand Floridian have live music, they play canned music almost all the time! We were waiting for the monorail to the Ticket Transportation Center (TTC) when a really decent tempo jazz number came on. Laura was wearing her suede shoes (I was in hiking boots) and wanted to dance (as did I).
While the 20’s charleston ended shortly after the monorail arrived, but before it did, we executed a stall into an outside turn which seems really simplistic, but was really exciting!
