 | DL purchasing Scottish garb I play with a pipe & drum corps in Canada. This weekend I was at a highland games where an acquaintance of mine who runs a Scottish outfitter & supply store told me (knowing that I'm a Disney nut) that he just sold several dozen sporrans to Disneyland. (For those who don't know what a sporran is... it's a pouch made of leather, fur or horsehair worn on a chain around the waist of a person wearing a kilt.) They can cost a fair bit too - upwards of $100 for a day sporran and upwards of $200 plus for an evening or military sporran. I am really curious as to why Disneyland would be buying sporrans (they wouldn't tell him.) Any guesses? P.S. I doubt it's for IASW as they were adult sporrans - which would be too big and awkward for a child.

| Re: DL purchasing Scottish garb Isn't there a pipe and drum corp at Epcot. The Enlish area. Could be for them.

| Re: DL purchasing Scottish garb Maybe Off Kilter (Epcot Canada band and local Florida group) are expanding their territory?

| Re: DL purchasing Scottish garb And there's that awesome Celtic Rock group in Canada--"Off Kilter" too. I am, in fact, looking for a kilt to do Highland Games here next month. Does your friend have a website? Peace, Roo

| Re: DL purchasing Scottish garb Don't the tour guides wear kilts? I kid, I kid. Actually, it could be for many reasons, including the new "knight" experience and shop that's going to be opening. |

"Oddly, the opposite side of the facility will have a similar setup for little boys, where they will be offered the chance to be made into Knights. Somehow though, there probably aren't going to be a lot of little boys willing to put up with all of that nonsense unless they're allowed to actually use a jousting stick to whack their little sister standing on the other side of the stage." | |

| Re: DL purchasing Scottish garb I doubt it's for the knight thing. On the other hand, the holidays are not far and aren't we theoretically getting a new Christmas parade (finally)?
