    "Exclusive opportunity to record....

    Actually yes that is a thing. There is a recording studio at the Disneyland Resort. My daughter’s boyfriend just had this opportunity with our high school band. I believe they did the recording before afternoon. They were just there last week over Spring Break. We are from Texas.

    We were just there the week after Thanksgiving and felt it was crowded.
