drp4video said:I have to laugh because so many people in MK on Christmas Day think the parade is live. We were there last year on Christmas day and everyone was lining up really early. It poured during parade time, and it did not start on time, and eventually the parade was canceled. Everyone was very upset and they were all talking about how could disney cancel the parade??? It won't be on t.v. Most were shocked to find out it was filmed in advance.

Funny story... I was working Universal's MACY's Holiday Parade last year on Christmas day and we had gotten word that Disney had already cancelled their parade and we weren't sure if we were. So then we said, "Well if Disney isn't doing a parade, we are!" We had to do a lot of role switching into costumes that could survive the rain, and we did the parade, soaking wet, slip sliding, and with smiles... it was a lot of fun and sort of made me feel special... Our thinking was, "Well if people came here today just for this parade, then we gotta give them a parade!" ... I thought it was a poor move by Disney to cancel it, especially on Christmas day...
Here are some pics from the tapings. My girlfriend and I were there for Paulina Rubio on Friday afternoon and for the parade on Saturday. We were front row for both. Paulina Rubio had a dress problem in which she was showing too much leg and so there was a 45 minute delay until they could get some mesh to cover her legs. But it was a great performance, along with Aly & AJ and The Cheetah Girls, and I can't wait to see everything put together on Christmas morning.
