Hello all!

I was wondering if any of you knew what weekend Disney was going to pre-tape the Christmas parade??? I know the crowds are normally bigger, so I want to plan accordingly ;)

Thanks

PS....I CAN'T WAIT TO GO!!! :santa:

The ABC Christmas parade is pre-taped the first weekend of December. This year that is December 4, 5 and 6, with the 5th being the main taping day.

I was just wondering if the parade taping dates have been confirmed yet. I am hoping that it will tape Fri/Sat, Dec 4/5. I have plans to be in the MK on Dec 6, but I want to avoid the parade taping crowds. I'm trying to find out if I need to change my plans for that day.

Thanks!

I was wondering aside from the crowds at MK on the days the parade is being taped how are the other parks? I know the taping draws crowds to MK but do these people only come in for the weekend of does it affect the week before as well. I am thinking about going Dec 1-6 right now we are booked Dec 15 - 20. But I believe it would be less expense if we went earlier because it would be value season. Our current trip hits some peaks days from the 17th on (Holiday Season).

The dates are confirmed. Dec. 6 is a raindate if they need it.

I know that Pop Warner starts Dec. 6 and many families will filter in starting the days before. You also have free dining going on until 12/17 which means that the restaurants will be crowded. I've read some posts on another board that people are having a tough time making dining reservations for that week.

Free dining goes until the 17th. In fact I considered it and they would of allowed me to have free dining until the 21st. Because I had some days that qualified. I am more concerned about the crowds at Studio and Epcot on saturday and sunday. So with that said which date do you think would be better?
