Thipp's received her ENGRAVED INVITATION to this taping.
The last three Secret Santas this week are…
Thipp Lambert: Bentonville, AR (originally from Jacksonville, FL); realtor; married to Jake with a blended family of two daughters, one on the way; took field trips to Disney World (and spent her high school Senior Night there), Busch Gardens growing up
André Ingram: Richmond, VA; minor league basketball player for 12 years; married to Marilee for eight years with three kids (he calls the youngest "Chief"); went to Disney World as a kid, walked to Disneyland after playing against a team from Anaheim
Megan Shallcross: Anaheim, CA; special education teacher; married to a retired fire captain for 27 years with three grown kids; has collected all kinds of countless Disney ears
What are the odds that a person from Anaheim and a basketball player who competed against a team from that city would be on the same episode?

Before André spins, he tells us that after a decade in the minor leagues, he finally played two games with the Los Angeles Lakers (he rightfully considers his first game with them inspiring). Then he lands on the S in SPIN.
Pat says he was a "minor-league game show host" for years.

Vanna: "Yes, we are."
Pat: "Disney will be back, Secret Santa will be back…"
Vanna: "You'll be back."
Pat: "It's a long weekend, you never know. But presumably, that's in the cards."
We hope so, Pat!
