Does anyone know the days they will be taping the Christmas Parade in the Magic Kingdom? I know it is usually the first week of December, but does anyone know which days? We would like to avoid the MK then to avoid the crowds.

I don't know this year's dates but it's normally Friday and Saturday with Sunday used as backup for weather delays or problems. I've been on the Saturday of parade taping at MK and found it crowded and kind of annoying to deal with. I'd try to avoid MK that day personally in the future.

What exactly is the taping for?

The parade shown on ABC Christmas morning is filmed earlier in the month at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World. Despite the fact they try to pass it off as "live" it's all pre-recorded the first weekend of the month.

Normally, they show clips from both coasts. With two different hosts. Lately, it's Regis and Kelly in WDW and Ryan Seacrest in DL. Plus, they'll have different singers and stuff set up at both locations like David Cook was in WDW last year. (Or the year before..?) Anyway, they show both parks in the broadcast.

Nope. I was going to go, unknowingly, the week they are going to film this year but we ended up planning a week after. Would of been nice to see the stars, but whatever. :cry:

I usually stay up really late Christmas Eve, when we open up gifts, and sleep in during Christmas morning.

You MUST set your DVR now. Don't have one? VCR will suffice. The Disney Christmas Day Parade is a must for any true Disney lover.
