[wannabee princess]

So, do you think any of the celebs will be "hanging" around for a couple of days after the taping? We don't check-in until Sunday, and I am wondering if I should keep my eyes open for the stars!

 

[Familymoon]

It was my understanding that they are taping the parade both on Saturday and on Sunday - anyone have the "facts" on that?

Thanks!

(Sandi - whose first day with BIG Raven fans will be Sunday)

 

[LvsTnk]

I might have to tape it! Sounds great but I will be at the MK on Christmas Day.......WOOHOO!!

 

[PamOKW]

Regis & Kelly were talking about it this morning. I only heard part of it but she was worried about the predicted snowstorm and traveling with her kids. I'm guessing they are heading down tomorrow after the show.

Along with the dancers from Festival of The Lion King...

Which will be filmed Friday morning the 5th.

Anyone know where and what time this will be filmed... the Circle of Life? We are going tomorrow! Also is parade being filmed in morning? CM told me 5pm, but I figured that was the reg Christmas Parade. One more thing, MK is open till 11pm Sat right... not closing early for MVMCP?

 

[rangebob]

I know the parade is being filmed tomorrow 12/6.

 

[DisneyObsessed]

Does anyone know what time this airs on Christmas Day? I've never seen it before and I really want to. For all you lucky people who will be there, have a great trip!

I think it's usually on at 10am est. Don't quote me on that but I'm almost positive that has been the time it's been on for the past few years.

 

[Straitlover]

I saw the Brady Bunch people at MGM when I was there in October! That's when the Wayne Brady Show was filming at Epcot,a dn they were going to be on it the next day, so I thought what they were filming was for that. Guess they are heading back???

All of the girls were real short - I was really surprised!

 

[Samirella]

The filming went well today. It was overcast all morning but then the sun came out later in the day. I don't know if it will be overcast for the filming tomorrow. If anyone was there today, I hope you enjoyed it and if you are going tomorrow, have a great time.

It depends on your local station. I saw a list of holiday programs and it's on at 11:00am here in Pittsburgh.

 

[PamOKW]

Each ABC station sets their own time to show the parade.

I wonder if Kelly Ripa will make it? This morning she said she couldn't head down until she finished taping "Faith & Hope" this evening.....she's got a big snowstorm and lots of delays at the NYC airports already. Tomorrow morning doesn't sound much better. Maybe it'll be Regis and Joy.
