Can you rent camcorders at the Magic Kingdom?

I do not have a camcorder, but would love to have a tape of the Christmas parade. Does anyone know if I can rent one or better yet, if there is a DVD or VHS available from the parks of the parades?

I do recall that you could rent them, but it seems that the deposit is something outrageous. This was a few years back, so perhaps someone has some more current information.

Last I heard, they're not available to rent anymore.

They stopped renting in 1998 because people were putting down the deposits and then actually taking the cameras home according to a cast member I talked to. At the time the deposit was around $400.00 so it was a good deal on a used camera. It was $40.00 a day to rent one.

WDW Poly Princess,
I was reading this post and noticed your avatar. If that is your cat, they look just like mine. I did a double take because the only difference is that my Blackie (aka Princess Moo) has a bit more white on her upper lip area - she has 1/2 a white mustache.

But she gets that same look. LOL

Yup, that's my cat, Tallulah! Your cat must be very beautiful!

I wish they did still rent video cameras, that would be really handy if you didn't want to risk losing yours on the flight, but I can see why they stopped.
