    Has it ever been otherwise? I've never had much interest in these sorts of shows.

    Yes. When it first started years ago as the Walt Disney World Very Merry Christmas Parade broadcast it was just like any other parade broadcast... Tournament of Roses or Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade... It was a true live parade broadcast with a smattering "behind the scenes" glimpses at new developments at the parks. It's pretty much unwatchable now.

    I know what you mean.

    I caught a bit last year and there were these teenage "heart throb" "singers"(and I use the term loosely)in which I had ZERO interest.

    Show me the damned parade and the park. Years ago they showed you glimpses of what was coming soon and it was WONDERFUL. Now it's all tween crap.

    Loathe it.

    Really? I didn't know that. Watching it every Thanksgiving was a big tradition growing up.

    ORDDU: In all fairness, there was one young lady who added some dignity to the program when she sang an operatic song that had class. Other than she, the rest of the bunch wasn't worth listening too.

    Not a bad idea, but I don't think they fit into the theme of California. Well, then again, neither does Cars....

    I thought the '49ers used them to get their gear up into the mountains to pan for gold.

    LOL, animal cruelty!

    If the ride is based on terrible traffic and pollution.
