Holiday Parade in DCA

[PrincessintheCastle]

Our trip is next month and we had made 5pm reservations at Wine Country Trattoria to coincide with the Pixar Play Parade so that we could hopefully view while eating. This was for Nov. 10th, which we have since learned is the start of the holiday season. Yesterday I noticed a holiday parade was scheduled for 4:15, with no Pixar parade. I can't seem to see the calendar today, but if this is the case, our reservation will be too late for parade viewing, assuming it follows the same route. Does anyone have any insight regarding the holiday parade? I am wondering if it is worth adjusting our reservation. Thanks!

I think the Pixar parade is supposed to be dark during Holiday Time. Maybe longer? Not sure about that. Maybe it has to do with ToT construction, maybe it has to do with the holiday food/wine festival they are planning. But no parade.

It would sure be nice if they could get their act together and get the entertainment calendar posted, but when I looked yesterday it only listed specific entertainment up through 10/29.

When I looked at the international calendar, the only parade listed at 4:15 pm was the "A Christmas Fantasy Parade" which is over in Disneyland.

Thank you, both of you. I'm now able to see the calendar again for those dates, and while it looks to have more events filled in, it does seem that there is no parade in DCA. We are celebrating a milestone birthday for one of the adults in our extended group, and she wanted to see the parade while enjoying a WOW dinner. I will have to see if this changes things for her. It is our last night at the parks.

If you move dinner back 30 minutes you could easily go to the Cars Land lighting before dinner.
