Hi everyone,
I just wanted to let you all know that the parade filming is extremely small this year. I actually perform in the parade for all the christmas parties and our unit isn't being filmed on the 6th.
Just someone trying to stir things up and see if they can get everyone worked up. :fork:And as for whoever states they've received a link from lightship/harborlight, that is misinformation, as it has not even been given to the one person who gets it before its released to the contacts on the persons distribution list.:xmas:
if I am not mistaken the daily parade is around 5pm that day, so I am assuming that taping will end around 3 or 4pm. Not exactly sure though.:xmas:
I just saw this on another website... does that mean paid guest in the park already or any one who shows up that day? Or is this bologna?!
Christmas Parade taping to be open to all
Nov 20, 2008
It is being reported that the Disney Christmas Day parade taping at the Magic Kingdom will be open to all visitors. Scheduled for December 5 and 6, this event will allow all guests, space permitting, to take part in the filming.
In the past, tickets for reserved sections of Main Street and in front of the castle were given to Disney World annual passholders, with the remaining tickets distributed by Lightship Entertainment. These passes included free admission that day. This procedure will not take place this year.
The parade taping involves long waits. The floats are frequently stopped and restarted and performers often repeat their routines while proper camera placement is being worked out.
Disney has yet to announce which celebrities will be appearing in this year's production.
Just found this on the Orlando Sentinel website...
Tickets for the annual Walt Disney World Christmas Day parade taping will not be distributed to passholders, or the general public, a Disney rep told me. Instead, anyone visiting the Magic Kingdom with a valid ticket can view the taping if space permits. In the past, a passholder giveaway distributed tickets for reserved areas in front of the castle and along Main Street. Then, Lightship Entertainment handed out the remaining tickets, which included free admission to the park, to the general public.
As of this morning, 11/25/08. Disney IT still has not released the link. This information I just got from my contact @ 1449. I know this keeps getting put off but it will eventually be released. Sorry to keep people on their toes. I'll update as I hear more.
Thanks,
Patrick
Markc,
I am dealing with the production company and the individual that has done the audience participation in the past working with the production company.
Thanks,
Patrick
Things are different this year, in regard to the taping of the parade!! I will not directly be signing people up. Rather, you will need to go to a web-site. (link below)
When you get to the web-site, PLEASE READ EVERYTHING VERY CAREFULLY!! It may be tedious but, the information is important for you to know. Keep in mind that the link will require you to fill out information, as if you are purchasing tickets. However in the end, there is no charge. You just have to go through the steps...including printing out your own "tickets."
AS I PROMISED!!!
HERE IS THE INFORMATION AND THE LINK FOR DECEMBER 6th. I AM SORRY, I AM OUT OF TOWN AND DON'T HAVE THE MEANS TO PM EVERYONE. BUT HERE IT IS!!! ENJOY AND HAVE A MAGICAL HOLIDAY WEEKEND!!! :xmas:
Besides sending out this link, I will have nothing to do with the signing up process. You will be getting all of your information, from the official web-site link below.
If you are able to participate, don't forget to dress in your favorite holiday colors!! Make this the best taping ever!!
Best wishes for a safe and beautiful holiday season!!
12/6 Event
