Disney Glee Update

 

Bus There AND Back

We were able to book a bus to take us both ways! That means we will be leaving Glee at 8am (this is a new time) and there is a return bus leaving Disneyland at 9pm.  Designated chaperones can leave their car at Glee Music Academy.  Unfortunately it looks like we can only have designated chaperones on the bus because we are going straight backstage to the workshop.  If you are not a designated chaperone park in the Mickey and Friends parking lot and meet us in ToonTown gate at 11:45m.  You will be able to see us in our Glee t-shirts
