I really miss when the Christmas Parade was the main draw complete with performers on two or three floats. These days it's mainly focused on stage performances in front of Cinderella Castle with a glimpse of the parade.

Isn’t Jordan Fisher the boy who sings Happily Ever After? Seacrest too expensive with the current soft attendance numbers?

What? Finally no Ariana Grande? Christmas just came early!

I'm actually surprised: Stefani and Bocelli actually have talent - and Trainor - well, at least I've heard of her. I'm sure it'll be cringeworthy - but better than I expected none the less...

She’s booked solid at tattoo parlors through Christmas.
Ariana kept them waiting two hours last year (or the year before last?) for her performance. She's the one who bailed on SNL with two days noticed that opened the door for Kanye to step in.
And a big ol' LOL for doing "Baby It's Cold Outside" in the #MeToo moment.

The article cited is quite clear about that...
"Tickets will not be made available to guests, with Cast Members filling in the audience as extras. It may be possible to see parts of the filming from guest areas however."
Sorry I dont have any specifics about what is happening when. It might be a case of you pretty much spending the week at MK and seeing what happens.

“Baby, It’s Cold Outside” should probably be retired. There’s no shortage of Christmas carols. Now let me go enjoy the bullying and hazing on display in “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer”.
Not to mention A Charlie Brown Christmas...
Yes please, it was creepy enough before, and now.. well.

Don't hold your breath.. They hardly even cared about Pandora when it was being built and never showed a thing..The chances they actually talk about the parks new attractions would be shocking...They only care about the singer destroying another christmas song to make you not care..
Well to be fair, it is ultimately a promotion for all things Disney. We'll see glimpses, a commercial if you will of course, but people have to stop expecting anything significant from these things ... lol

I clearly am not the target audience for these shows. Nothing says Holiday cheer like medley of Megan Trainor songs...yuck. If you are going to have people sing non-holiday songs, wouldn't you have them sing Disney songs? There must be a synergy or cross promotion thing going on that I am not aware of.
She has more than one song?

That's the best recurring Christmas show. Why in the world would they get rid of it?

Do I really have to explain why "Baby, It’s Cold Outside" is the opposite of what people in modern day assume it's about? Out of context it sounds creepy now, but the language would have been very understood in the 40s/50s to mean the couple is trying to socially cover over up wanting to spend the night to together.
(Yes it should probably be retired, but because it's old and boring.)

NO. You MUST apply the warped modern views to EVERYTHING in the past, and then be OUTRAGED!!!!!!!!! You should do it, too, cuz all the cool kids are doing it these days.
BTW - The original, with Dean Martin, is a classic. It's even better when you add Martina McBride's beautiful voice to Deano's. But I also can't stomach most Christmas music made after the 70's.
