Questions about shows and parades

[Amy and kids]

How long is the Aladdin show, the Pixar Play Parade, and the Celebrate! parade?

Could you also tell me how early should we get there for these? Are certain days or times (on days when there are more than one showing) that are better to watch these?

I was also wondering about the Drawn to the Magic Hollywood Pictures Backlot, is this worth taking so much time to do? My kids are 9, 6, and 4.

Also, everyday at 2:30 in Coke Corner is Alice and the Mad Hatter playing Musical Chairs? Are the kids involved in this also?

Thank you again! I am having the HARDEST time trying to figure out our days and that is even WITH Ridemax. I think I may be stressing just a tad more than I need to over all of this.

Aladdin is about 40 minutes or so. Get in line early (hour before) unless you've booked a package and have special seating then get there 40 min early. This show is amazing.

Pixar Play Parade if I remember right was around 20-30 minutes to have it go all the way through.

Celebrate was about the same as Pixar Play Parade.

Drawn to Magic was a cute show, I don't remember it being very long. They choose 3 kids out of the crowd to participate. The kids that are chosen are given the sketch that is used for the character that appears (if that makes any sense!). DD was chosen by the CM that had a Cinderella sketch on her easel, so DD got that sketch at the end of the show.

For musical chairs, yes it is at Coke Corner at 2:30 (not listed in the guide). Alice and the Mad Hatter (and sometimes Peter Pan) just grab kids to participate, but I have seen kids just walk right on up to play too. It wasn't like they had to be specifically chosen to play.
