Out of the two Christmas parade taping days (Friday and Saturday), which morning is worse for crowds at the MK? Or are they about the same? On those two days, I want to spend one morning (including lunchtime) at MK, and the other morning at Downtown Disney. I already have afternoon and evening plans for both days, so I'm only looking for advice on what to do in the A.M.

So....would it be better to do MK on Friday morning and Downtown Disney on Saturday morning, or vice versa? Or does it not make a difference?

Thanks!:wave:

Edit: I should also add that I have been to the MK on a parade taping day before, so I know what to expect....I just need to know which day is better as far as crowds go.

Just a warning. It is very difficult to find an official source as to the parade taping dates, as always. But when we were there recently, a commercial was being taped and my husband spoke to one of the guys involved in the shoot. He told us that the entertainment portion would be taped the Saturday after Thanksgiving (that's the day that in the past has been reserved for annual passholders who sign up on line, the first certain number of them), and the following Saturday would be the taping of the actual parade. He also said there would be less taping of the actual parade, and some footage from last year would be used as for "financial reasons". I know, I know, it is unconfirmed. But he wasn't exactly a Disney bus driver, either!
