Is there anywhere to find a list of the times for the various holiday shows and events at both US and IOA? I know its early, so even last year's times would be better than nothing. We are trying to figure out our days and if we need to buy 2-park-per-day tickets or not, and are hoping to focus our afternoons on the holiday/Christmas-y stuff for the most part. Mannheim Steamroller dates have been announced, so I know that 7pm showtime is fairly set (our dates are Dec 11-13). But when do you need to arrive for that? When is the parade? How long and how early to arrive for that? If the parade starts at "dusk", what does that really mean? Is it possible to do both the parade and the concert in one night? Or do they overlap?
And what about the smaller shows? Is there a set schedule for the Grinch activities? Any of the other "holiday" overlay shows at US?
I have read enough threads to know that since we are staying onsite and have 2.75 days, it isn't quite as critical to do a commando style plan ahead of time. But since we are hoping to do all of the shows and special events (as opposed to the more typical "rides" where you seem to benefit quite a bit more from the Express pass), if only one or two shows of a particular event happen each day, timing does matter. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
