CM with tickets have to be at the MK on both days at 7:30 am. So that's one hour and a half hour prior park opening on Friday (9am) and only half hour before park opening on Saturday (8am)

An this is the ticket my CM friend got me for the Friday taping

Tragic that they cancel the 'Flag Retreat Ceremony' on Friday and Saturday so as to film a parade.
Where are their patriotic priorities? This is one the last places where I expected to see our flag disrespected, especially for a parade filming. Walt would not have permitted this to happen.:(

Are they just not putting up the flag at all? Or leaving it up all night? How is it being disrespected by canceling a ceremony?

They do not leave the flag up all night. They have always taken it down with a formal retreat ceremony.
To do away with the Ceremony (for a parade) is disrespecting the flag.

Security will still be doing the retreat after hours.

Relax - security still comes out and does a flag retreat, they just dont do the show. The pole is in front of Guest Relations, it has two homes for things like this. Happens every year. Don't pull the Walt card on this.

I went back in 2007, forgot which taping day it was, and after taping they ran the full parade around 5pm ish? Do they always do this and which day?

I remember that as well and it was at 5pm. The schedule currently says CADCT at 5pm... but Im guessing it will really be OUACT.

I saw different ticket for 12:30pm, they come in waves all day long so they can have a steady crowd.

The Magic Kingdom Security Color Guard will still retire the flag for the evening before sunset, just not the formal ceremony.

It is also irresponsible as a human being, to presume what another human being might or might not permit.
