This week, we're heading to Main Street USA to take a listen to one of the true gems of the Magic Kingdom -- the Dapper Dans!
If you've never heard the Dapper Dans before, you're really missing out on a great show! The Dapper Dans are a barbershop quartet that sings acapella (perhaps with a few musical props), often with guest interaction.
The Dapper Dans date all the way back to the early days at Disneyland when they debuted in 1959 and have been a staple at Walt Disney World since opening day in 1971.
At Walt Disney World, the Dapper Dans usually can be found in the horse-drawn trolley in the morning, all along Main Street USA in the afternoon and at Town Square at 5 p.m. daily for the flag retreat ceremony.
It's common to find the Dapper Dans hanging out in the Main Street Barber Shop (appropriately) as well as near Casey's Corner.
If you do happen to catch a Dapper Dans performance, I encourage you to stick around and appreciate the sounds of yesteryear as the Dapper Dans truly bring the turn of the (20th) century to life.
Take a listen for yourself!

That was the best medley I have ever seen! I was lucky enough to see the Dans in Disneyland this August on their 4 seater bike. What a treat!
I was lucky enough to see them at Disneyworld last year. My dad told them my mom's birthday was coming up and they sang to her. It was wonderful. They were also nice enough to stick around and talk to my dad, who happens to be quite long winded. It made our trip that much more special.
