Hi All!

I don't have any pics...yet! BUT, DS will be marching somewhere in Disneyland this New Year's Eve! We are so excited and will be there to cheer him on...I'm sure NYE in DL is mayhem, in a good way. Anybody have any insight as to where/when they let high school groups march usually? Tour leader says it could be DL or DCA. They are also marching in the Rose Parade on January 2, so they are a pretty proficient group of high schoolers. Thanks for any insight.

So pretty! I never understood how people got these nice shots of the lamp posts with castle in the background. Were you on the double decker bus or are you just really tall?

Keep them coming!

This was when they were filming the Christmas Parade in Nov. 2012.

My marching band got to perform when I was in high school and it was a blast! You got to change backstage and then march down the parade route of Disneyland a few minutes before the parade steps off. That was 17 years ago (where does the time go?!) but I'm pretty sure it's the same now. I've only seen the marching bands at Disneyland. At DCA I've seen choirs and regular bands play on the stage near where the night time parties are held.

I'm afraid I fall into this category. I think a lot of us do......

We've done them all at holiday time. That's the only one I can think of. I would love it if they'd make more of a holiday meal like Minnie's at DHS! I bet they would attract more locals with that as well.

That's what I was hoping for. I would LOVE it if they had a seasonally themed character meal at Disneyland! Or if they added characters to the tea that they are doing at DLH and had christmas-themed treats.. and maybe santa!

Thanks, Davidg83! WOW, if he gets to march down the parade route, that would be Main Street, right? I think I'm gonna scream!

How fun! I'm jealous!! My son will be marching in the Rose Parade too! Disneyland would have been icing on the cake!!

Any guesses on how long the Christmas decorations will be up? Right now we are tentatively planning on visiting DL & DCA on Jan 3rd & 4th.

 

[dhorner233]

I guess we can post pictures of Main St. all week?

This is taken from the Disney performing arts website...

"Wow an international audience as you showcase your musicianship as you march down Main Street USA, perform at Disneyland's Big Thunder Ranch Jamboree stage or on the recently expanded, open-air Hollywood Backlot Stage at Disney California Adventure® Park."

Obviously it's slightly outdated because the Big Thunder Ranch no longer exists due to Star Wars construction but it looks like they still march down Main Street! It'll be even more magical with all of the Christmas decor still up!!

I can't find the answer on my question. Do you think or are there rumours about Viva Navidad. I really hope it is happening this year. Really want to meet Jose Carioaca and Panchito.
