Good, thanks for asking. I'm going to be lazy and give you a link to a post I put in the DisDads club to tell you all about it.Glad you're finally back! How was your daughter's competition?

Yes, I've been on @fallonkendra TRs a bit too (still trying to catch up with her). The cost of flights is nuts, but it's the unfortunate effect of having a fairly small population in a very big geographic area, so it's much more costly for airlines to operate up here. The exchange rate and customs/duty is what boils me. We had to stop ordering from the Disney Store online because it was just too much. Just an example, last week I ordered two DisDads shirts from the US. The cost was $35 US, add the shipping and exchange rate, it's already $60 Canadian. I'm hoping they don't charge me duty when it ship because that could add another 20-30%. Just crazy.I have another friend here on the boards, @fallonkendra, who is Canadian. Whenever she's mentioned flights or the cost of shipping from stores we have here that you guys don't have up there I'm floored.
There will be other dance schools from Canada and the US, but they only know their school. It's run by Dance the World, which is not a Disney company but I guess they are closely affiliated. I don't know how many dancers in total, but I expect it will be 150 or 200 for the parade. It goes from Mexico to the UK. I was surprised when they first brought up the trip because I had never heard of a parade in Epcot. It will be on July 7th at 7:00pm, so if anyone's there...But how cool for your DD to be in an Epcot parade!! Are there lots of dance groups marching and is it only dance groups do you know? I think it's so rare that Epcot has parades, so especially neat it's that park.
My older DD did something similar a few years ago in New York and they danced on The Lion King stage on Broadway and got to see Aladdin and meet the cast after. It was pretty exciting.
