Originally Posted By basil fan Oh, I always tape the parade and watch it later. Even though it's pretty much the same every year, it makes me feel like I'm in Disney World. Sort of a mini-mini-vacation. And, I can fast-forward the musical numbers.

Originally Posted By brotherdave I remember when the parade was shown "live" from WDW. The parade portion was a live feed, while there were many taped portions of the show throughout. For years, Regis Philbin would give pre-taped segments on "what's new" throughout the telecast. And they usually had a brief taped update from Disneyland, showing bits of their parade, perhaps a singer or two, and also what was new at DLR. Now, it just seems so homogenized as one big "informercial" for "Disney Parks" vs WDW, though I guess that is what this program has always been, I suppose. I remember one year during a live telecast that the weather wasn't quite so nice where there was a little rain. I think that, along with cost considerations, 9/11 security issues, and guest inconvenience on Christmas Day, prompted them to abandon the "live" telecast in favor of an all pre-recorded program.

A bunch of D list Disney Channel stars "performing" obnoxious versions of classic Christmas songs. Even Mariah Carey's song was pretty bad. I was so let down this year and turned it off half way through. It use to be something worth watching a few years ago. Very cheap now...
Originally Posted By tashajilek "Well I was completely embarrassed of what we were watching" LOL,Yea most of it was bad! It seems like they were catering more towards preteens than adults. I wonder if Disney knows that their current tv shows are pretty much garbage? I dont think the Mariah Carey bit was terrible, she is preggers with twins.
Originally Posted By CuriouserConstance I didn't know she was having twins. I forgot to watch or tape the parade. Sounds like I didn't miss much.
Originally Posted By basil fan I just fast-forwarded all those songs. What I did enjoy was a look at some of the rarer characters: Uncle Scrooge, Dr. Facilier, Rapunzel and Flynn, the Three Good Fairies... Wish I could see them when I go to the parks!!
