Holiday filming for ABC specials to take place early November at Walt Disney World

[dvitali]

I always wonder even a tape Christmas Day Parade on ABC is a lowest rated show at that morning time slot on Xmas. Think most ABC stations rather fill in with a church service, or a Christmas movies. Disney want to spend a little possible with a taped show compare to a live show. Never understood why Disney never did a nighttime parade taping to be shown at prime times on ABC ( they also can do live remote from Disneyland).

Have there been any rumblings whatsoever about who is going to perform yet?

Disappointed every year at the musical guests.

Hard to know who and what will happen. Uncertainty kinda takes away incentive to watch. Different performers on each press release and same performers are singing different songs depending on list (i.e. Baby it's Cold Outside in one PR and Let it Snow in the second PR). Typical CF. Ho, Ho, Ho.

Be nice to have Celine Dion, Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett singing some dazzling jazzy Christmas tunes, Shania Twain, Mariah Carey with her iconic song, just overall more relevant and talented people than they wannabes they've been pulling out of the dumpster the last few years

And that's your type of music. To me I've loved that they've had Reba, Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood and Darius Rucker, and even Kelly Clarkson in the last few years, didn't think I'd hear people calling them dumpster music.

I'd rather have something as fun as the old parade telecasts they use to do..Not this crud they are doing now with this staged nonsense..

So would I - but I was answering a question about musicians.

You just proved my point, this years line up sucks compared to previous. Only Darius is worth watching

Hootie without the Blowfish...

Your opinion. Clearly people are buying those artists music.

New music with 98 degrees and Dancing with the Stars.

Times change - so does the English language. I don't blame people for using the wrong term. But it's time for people to start using the right one.

Shooting is what I see as breaking news every third day on CNN.

I am happy with filming.

Nah, those artists don't contribute to Disney's bottom line, and that's all that the former-live-Christmas-Parade-turned-90-minute-pre-recorded-infomercial is about these days.
