Disney had been sending characters for the lighting ceremony/parade for quite a few years now, and I usually watch from the comfort of my warm home vs. trudging out in the cold.

I think it's fun that they will have Phineas and Ferb walk around characters for this.

Hmmm... we may just have to make the two hour drive. My kids would go nuts, although I wonder with the crowds if we'd get anywhere near enough to actually see Phineas OR Ferb.

We did this every year for about 5 years then took a break from it last year. It was insane and just not worth the shoving/pushing and crazy crowds in the cold for a brief look at the characters on floats. If you haven't been its a good time, we just realized we aren't parade people.
