You mean you can't just show up early and get in to watch?

Nope and supposedly it's a long process you have to be there in winter garb (even if it might be hot that day) for hours while they run sections again and again to get it just right. I believe I even heard that they run the parade without music...
Also they film other things like performances at various times in early December.

Actually, it's in the first week of December, it takes 3 days, they run the parade completely WITH Music, and you may have to be standing there for 2 maybe 3 hours or longer. Last year, they had to run the parade 3 times to get it right (in one single day)
In order to be in the parade you must sign up for it.

I have a family member who is going to be in Orlando the 1st, 2nd and 3rd. They are bringing someone who has never been to WDW so I think they would probably want to avoid being in the MK while this is going on. Do you know what days they'll be setting up and taping?

I don't know about this year, but if my memory serves me correctly dec 1-3 were the dates last year for the parade taping. So I'm thinking the parade will tape around the same time.

They usually have a special area for Annual Passholders if I'm not mistaken.

I am pretty sure they film the first full weekend in December. But, I don't know if they consider that the first Saturday/Sunday or the first Friday/Saturday/Sunday. If it is the latter, then they will be safe. If the former, someone may just want to not go to the MK.

I read somewhere that it's supposed to be December 1-2 weekend this year.

Disney's 1 billion dollar remake of DCA and how it affects WDW
So according to Al Lutz tomorrow Disney will announce their bold plan to retool Disney's California Adventure into a Disney quality park. WSJ has already posted an article (much of the information from this article originated on Miceage): http://online.wsj.com/article/SB119257768823361264.html
There is also now a rumor that Disney will spend $500 million to revamp Disney's Hollywood (Formerly the Disney-MGM Studios).
Like someone said on another Disney board
"New way of thinking on Disney's part. Fix the problems. Who'd a thunk??"
Thoughts? Opinions?

If it's true, it's a good thing. I haven ever been to DCA, but apparently it is sub-par and DHS is just crumbling in on itself, IMO. Hopefully DHS will be able to have a good 20th birthday in 2009 and not feel a day over 10. LOL!

Back to the original question. It is Lightship that has produced the parade for the past few years. They are also involved in most of the productions you see on Discovery or Travel Channel. I have not seen anything yet for this year, so maybe someone else has the contract. Anyway, here is a link.

Thats weird because I before I lived here I would go to MK every first weekend in December and I remember walking right into the park at like 10 or 11am and being able to stand right there where the cameras were. I didn't sign up for anything and the camera guys even got us on film a few times.
thanks for your help where did you see the list at?
wonder who will be at disney world and who will be at disney land. Regisn and kelly are always disney world and Ryan seacreast is dinseyland. I would be willing to bet Joey Fatone and Drew Lachey will be at disneyworld. but other than that i have no clue.
