Last week was a very busy week for the MommyBrain family! I was going to Blog World Expo in Las Vegas, but before that, we had a very special concert to attend!
We went to see the Imagination Movers in concert in Durham, NC. It was a good drive, but it was so worth it! We had aisle seats towards the front in the Orchestra section. They were amazing. When the Movers came out into the audience to sing, they always came down our aisle and the girls would run out to give them High 5’s or shake their hands. The smiles that they had on their faces were just amazing.
This was the girls’ first concert ever, so they didn’t know what to expect. All they knew was that they were going to sing and dance along to some of their favorite music! The funny thing was that they asked Daddy and me if they were *really* the Imagination Movers or if it was just a movie. They thought we were at a movie theater. When we told them it was *really truly* the Imagination Movers, they got so excited. We got dressed up. The girls asked me to curl their hair, and off we went on the 2.5 hour drive to Durham. We arrived about an hour before the show, checked in and picked up our Meet & Greet Passes. We hadn’t eaten yet, so we snacked on some of the food there at concessions… A small fortune there… They opened up the lobby upstairs so up we went.
When they opened up the theater, we quickly found our seats… Like I said, we were sitting next to the aisle, in row K… They were amazing seats. We watched a few really cool Disney cartoons, including “Where is Warehouse Mouse” on the screen up on stage while waiting for the Movers to come out on stage.
Suddenly… the theater went dark, and we heard the announcer telling us to scream… The girls weren’t too sure what was going on… all they knew was that it was getting loud, and everyone was getting excited… The lights came on and out came Mover Rich, Mover Scott, Mover Dave and Mover Smitty!!! They were soooooo excited. I should’ve known that children wouldn’t stay in their seats when there’s amazing music playing.
I can’t give anything away, but I have to say that the Movers put on an EXCELLENT concert. If you can make it to one of their shows in your area, you will not be disappointed. Your children (and you) can participate in an Idea Emergency… We had a little brainstorm going on there… We even got to see Warehouse Mouse at the show!!! He’s so cute!
After the show, we stayed for a Meet and Greet. We got to actually talk with the guys for a little bit, which was so cool. They are some of the sweetest guys… I can see why the kids love them so much! Honestly, I don’t know who was more excited, me or the girls. Daddy and I seriously wanted to get up and dance with the kids the whole time! I may or may not have danced to their “Jump Up” song that they play after they solve every Idea Emergency… Â What can I say? The Imagination Movers have cool kid music that the parents don’t want to turn off!
Ok, so for more about their concert… check out this interview I did with Mover Dave a couple of days before we saw them!

To see if they’re coming to your town, check out their concert tour schedule!
I can not thank Disney and the Imagination Movers enough for giving us tickets to the show, and passes to the Meet & Greet. It was an amazing evening for the whole family! We wish you guys much success and safe travels on your tour! Can’t wait to talk/see you guys again!!!
I am taking my two year old to this performance and was wondering how long the show lasts. I have tried to search for something but can’t seem to find it.
Thank you,
