One of the many things I adore about Disney…
⭐️Let me introduce the Walt Disney World Dapper Dans!🎶
🏰If you’ve ever perused the nostalgic, small-town streets of Main Street, U.S.A. at either Disneyland Resort in California or within Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom Park in Florida, then you’ve more than likely encountered those most dapper of Dapper Dans, performing in that classic barbershop quartet style they are so renowned for.👑
Some Dapper Dan facts:
⭐️Dapper Dans have been entertaining visitors in Disneyland since the late 1950s.
⭐️Dapper Dans put on a lot of performances — nine sets a day, every day to be exact.
⭐️ In keeping with a truly traditional nod to nostalgia, Disney’s Dapper Dans incorporate actual Deagan Organ Chimes in all of their acts. Created by the Chicago-based J.C. Deagan Company back in 1901, these chimes produce music when shaken. There are eight chimes in all, and each has three octaves of a single note making up the C scale.
⭐️ Every year, during scheduled Halloween happenings at Disney Parks, the usually smartly dressed Dapper Dans undergo zombie-like transformations to become the notoriously gruesome Cadaver Dans.
⭐️It goes without saying that whenever Dapper Dans are out and about, you will see just four fellows performing at regular intervals. But the actual number of hired members at a given time is really 12. That’s because Dapper Dans are called on seven days a week to put in multiple performances at varying times throughout the day.
