The current rumor is it is Nov. 8 with a backup date of Nov. 9 but stay tuned as it is not confirmed.

WDW is always slow loading the Parade times for early November. Right now it stops on Nov. 1st as the last posted parade time of 2 PM.

ETA: add more details...

Last night, at Epcot, they were filming one of the concerts for the Christmas special. It was fun to hear Christmas music, see the lights, etc.

Any info on how the recording will happen this weekend?

Never been there during recording, but I assume as with any type of recording session they will do multiple takes, need time for setups between songs, etc. You will likely stand around for quite a bit while the production company does their work. Some of the Disney specials also look they were done after night once the park closed since you couldn't see anyone else around. Clearly for things recorded during the day, park visitors will be around.

The parade route will be blocked off from guests. CM and plants will block guests view.

They will probably tape out of sequence. And could take multiple takes of the same section until they get what they want. For the parade viewers, it means a lot of standing, a lot of smiling.
