The taping is the 29th,30th and the 1st. I am wondering if I should skip MK all together during the end of the week due to alot of ppl and should I make ADR's in MK.
 
I didn't see your arrival date, so I'm not sure which days you think you'll have a conflict with the parade taping.
 
1) I don't understand the question and relevance.
2) I see no confluence of events.
 

If you want to eat lunch in the MK on Christmas day, you actually have to arrive in early December and pre-eat your meal. And in case it rains, you may need to come back the next day and be ready to eat again.

I can see how this could be inconvenient. It's just one of the reasons I never go at that time of year.
 
I am by no means an expert, but we will be there around the same time as you. Did you read easywdw's explanation for each park on each day? If I remember correctly, Sat is really going to be the only day not to go to MK because of the taping (if you are worried about crowds).

The crowd predictions are pretty low (I've been during Christmas week a few times) so I think it's going to be a great time to go! As long as you have a good touring plan and give yourself enough time to get to where you need to go, I don't think I'd stress too much about the Parade Taping crowd.
 
1) You'll be fine.
2) Taping is over before your dinner.
3) And, only Main Street is busy as a zoo.
4) The days are only Fri & Sat, with Sun as a rain-day.
