Thanks for the information!

Here's the taping schedule, CM are not told how long or where or what is taping, just the time they have to be there. They did it by slots:
Nov 9th MK 10am and 6pm
Nov 10th MK 10am and 1pm
Nov 10th Epcot 4:30pm and 7pm
Nov. 11th MK 8am and 12pm
Nov 12th MK 8:30am and 2pm
Nov 12th AK 4:30pm
Nov 13th DHS 10am and 2pm and 5pm
Obviously all of these are subject to change

Thanks Yulilin... I'm torn. We are flying in on Friday night and had only planned on doing the Christmas Party on Sunday night. Our APs expired in July and I promised my husband we wouldn't even consider another Disney trip until at least summer 2017. Then we found super cheap flight and I couldn't resist a night at MVMCP and told Emma that we weren't doing the parks just the party. Now I may have to hit up MK on the 12th depending on what performers leak ... it's worth $250 isn't it???

well, I mean, you know....
Not helpful right?

 

[yulilin3]

Put in for AK on the 12th. Figured it would be the least popular.

I'm going to DHS on the 13th. Hoping for some SW Rogue One special appearances, maybe while they tape inside LB or something. I'll also head over to MK on the 9th and 10th to see what I can see

Looks like the disruption at MK on the 10th will be minimal for us, attending the CP later in the day. Nice.

Agreed! I'm anxious to see who will be there! I remember seeing someone's youtube video when they were there last year and they got to watch the Descendants part being taped. DD would have lost her mind!

I cannot wait to see who is going to be at HS!!

Here I was excited about the early parade filming simply because it probably meant the Christmas tree would be up. If there's no filming at WDW, wonder if it will be for our trip November 16-20?

We have gone the week before Thanksgiving for several years now and all the decorations are up in MK except for the tree. We have always been told that they don't put it up until time for the Christmas parade taping. Glad to know it will be up for us this year!

Last year they also put up the tree with everything else, the taping occurred else where

It was not that they put it up in time FOR the parade taping.
It was that they put it up at a time just AFTER the parade taping.
The parade show used the space where the tree sits for parade production.
So, they could not put the tree in Town Square until after they completed the taping.

That changed last year.

We are going with my daughter's friend and family for her friend's birthday on November 13 to HS. Both girls are big Star Wars fans so this may turn out to be an even more special day. Can't wait to see who may be in MK on the 9th or 10th.
