DWTS Tour VIP Blog 2023

First I want to say that VIP is MUCH better this year, back to what the fans want.

Fabulous Ray is the host again!

I received the email with the important info for my show on the 2^nd.  Show was the 6^th.  If you don’t have it within 48 hours of your show email:  vip@dwtstour.com

This next info may vary city to city but, it will give you a general idea.  Please read your email for your specific times etc.  These were the times for opening night.

Ck in:  4:45-5:15

Q&A:  5:30 (they answered about 10-12 questions)

Photo:  6:00

For the questions you could write them on an index card at check in and give them to the check in staff.  The pros were on the stage and we were in the 1^st few rows of seats.

The photo was with the full cast and no awful awkward orange bench!  Again, this part could change if your city has a big COVID policy mandate change & also note that in the email.  Let’s hope we get through this tour with no mask/social distancing need.  I have a had a ton of questions on hugs etc.  I think again if that does or doesn’t happen is based city to city depending on health rules, mandates etc.  I also think if you are unsure ask.

After the photo you receive your swag bag.   They ask for front row VIP to go first for the photos because we have the signed poster so it’s easier for them.

We were able to scan out to eat if we wanted to between VIP and the show starting.

Photos were posted by the time we left the show.  Remember though that is good when they can do that, there are a lot of variables like Wi-Fi strength and access etc.  They will give you the SmugMug link in the email you get with the details.

I was really much happier this year with the entire VIP experience.

The show was amazing!  I will be going again in 2 weeks and will blog on the show after that.  Mandy Moore is absolutely amazing and well we all know the pros are as well!  I do have to correct one thing I said yesterday that was an error.  They do announce each pro but, its mid-show not at the end.  The ending to me just felt abrupt but, I am going to go back and find a video of it and see if it was just not what we all were used to etc.  I have always liked it when they do final bows at the end, that they wave and say goodbye to the audience when they are getting their standing ovation but, that’s personal preference.

Lots of questions on the buses etc.  Security was pretty much telling everyone that nobody is coming out etc. but, Emma, Alan, Alexis & Sasha did quickly.  No idea how it will be city to city so don’t want to give anyone false hope etc. on that.   If you want to guarantee to meet them your best way is to do one of the VIP pkgs that includes the photo.
