CBC Show - The Magical Gathering

[celebrate]

Hey has anyone heard anything about the CBC/Disney World show airing next Friday (December 17). I was reading a bit about it and it looks kind of cool. Apparently Colin Mochrie runs into a bunch of different Canadian musicians (David Usher, Shaye, Doc Walker...) in all the Disney parks. I hope they do something funny on Tower of Terror Dave Thomas is supposed to be in it too.

In case you're interested it's called "The Magical Gathering," and it airs December 17 at 9 pm on CBC.

I'm heading down soon so this should be a good primer for our trip!

First of all, WELCOME to the Canadian DIS Boards, celebrate!!

If we can help you in planning your upcoming trip, please don't hesitate to ask away! And of course, we'll expect a trip report when you get back!

Thank you for bringing "The Magical Gathering" tv special to our attention. I personally didn't know about it but I looked it up and found this information HERE.

It looks like it's going to be a fun show and I've marked it on my calendar!

Wow cool I will have to set my PVR to record it sounds like a great show.

Thanks for posting about Magical Gathering. I hadn't heard about it. Love these shows -- helps with the WDW fix until we finally get there again!

 

[princess pooh]

Oh cool! I love David Usher

Thanks Celebrate

Does anyone know when the WDW Christmas parade will run on CBC? I remember last year it was on a Saturday morning around this time... I hope I haven't already missed it

According to the Holiday TV listings we got in the paper the other day,the parade is on Christmas morning at 10am on the CBC.

Does anyone know if the La Nouba on CBC tonight is the same as what is at Downtown Disney?

 

[celebrate]

Yeah between Christmas Parade and this CBC Special, it will feel like we're there already.

 

[Canada Rocks!]

So When are you going?

 

[celebrate]

Well we haven't booked yet because we heard there was some new sort of ticketing that kicks in January. We missed at par but I'm hearing rumours that this new thing makes tickets totally affordable. We'll see...

"FRIDAY

La Nouba

CBC, 8 p.m. There are two family-friendly extravaganzas competing for your attention tonight. CBC has Cirque de Soliel's La Nouba, a modern spellbinder of gravity-defying acrobats and aerialists, charming clown vignettes and literally off-the-wall theatrics. Filmed at Walt Disney World, La Nouba's permanent home since 1998, this jaw-dropper of a show is a more cohesive production than the two most recent Cirque shows to tour Toronto and is a must-see for circus fans."

Should be good!

AND "celebrate" it's more than rumour! The details are already out on the new tix. Check mousesavers.com & other discussions on these boards to see if the new tix are better for you.

Thanks Kellyla! I'm going to have to put a sticky on my VCR as a reminder!

 

[Susan--Ontario]

Don't forget to watch this tonight everyone!!!

Anyone who taped Magical Gatherings, would anyone be willing to send me a copy? We were extras in the taping and would love to see it.

 

[Scratch42]

Sorry did not tape it but if they ever repeat it, I will try to remember to!

Merry Christmas!

[FatCow]

let me know if they're going to repeat the show please.

BTW, I have the x-mas parade recorded on DVD with all the commercials taken out.

 

[2angelsinheaven]

Anyone have a copy? We were in the show and are in Fl so we did not get to see it.

 

[BLBCB]

I did tape it, but my VCR is really old, and the quality is terrible. I was hoping someone else had a better copy for you. There really isn't much of a story line either, which is pretty typical of CBC programs IMHO.
