I was lucky enough to actually be on the set of DD when and where it was filmed in NC for a couple of weeks. My then 10 year old son was the "little boy" in the beginning and the end of the film as a featured extra. (He ended up being a professional dancer, then he & wife have had their own company in NYC for over 20 years).
Sadly, just to clear up the confusion. Most of the film was shot inside and outside a boys camp in Lake Lure, that was torn down after it was filmed. Some of the outdoor shots (the large hotel) was shot in VA. NOTHING was shot in the hotel in Lake Lure. I really wanted to enjoy this, since I had such fond memories of the experience and the film...but it feels so contrived. Sorry....
