Well, this is not entirely new per se, but like Jamming Jungle Parade at DAD, they have taken the regular Stars Motorcade Parade and given it a holiday overlay as well.. All of the cars we see during the parade have been decorated with garlands, lights, ornaments, gift boxed and other assorment of holiday decorations. They have even added a few more dancers in between the cars, dressed in holiday sweaters and such, all to the music of Winter Wonderland looping along as the parade rolls. Even commentator Ms. Huntington is back with male cohost to describe the event over the loud speakers..just like they do in the regular parade daily. This is not an Earth shattering Xmas parade but I do appreciate the effort they put into it, and I recomend you watch it just for the fun of it, and because it's seasonal...something we don't see from Entertainment at WDW often.. I photographed some of the floats as they rolled by... Hope you enjoy. <a href="http://albums.photo.epson.com/j/AlbumIndex?u=4334673&a=31983697&f=0&vt=mp" target="_blank">http://albums.photo.epson.com/ j/AlbumIndex?u=4334673&a=31983697&f=0&vt=mp</a>

I remember that used to be the place for entertainment, and now we have a generic parade from any generic city, but with characters, instead of local officials.

Every time I see a handsome devil with a camara on a monopod I'll take a close look. Who knows maybe we'll meet.

Walt Disney World has surely gone down the toilet, if THIS is all they can come up with. How sad! Makes me all the happier that I chose NOT to visit last year, or the year before, or the year before that...and that all MY money has gone to the Tokyo Resort and Disneyland Anaheim! Cheap, cheap, CHEAP!!

Therefore, I can't help but ask you, where would you be willing to take a witch to dinner, if she happened to be in your area--without her sisters, of course?
