Where are the various families wishing us Merry Christmas? Or extended scenes at the other WDW parks and B-list parks (Typhoon Lagoon, etc.)? No extended previews of various attractions? And most importantly, lol...I miss the commercials for the free WDW-planning video and for Kissimmee St. Cloud. LOL...I might have to see if I have any of the older parades on Beta or VHS
