Rescheduled MK Parade taping?

[LilGMom]

Just read Kathy's FB update that the MK parade taping has been rescheduled for Sunday. What time would it take place and does it affect the rest of the park that much? We start our WDW trip on Sunday and our friends really want to go to MK first since they've never been to WDW.

TIA

Anyone? Leaving for Orlando in a few hours and would love to have some insight. TIA.

The front of the park will be mobbed, but the back of the park should be OK.
If I were you, as soon as you arrive at the park, take the Disney railroad to the back of the park, first. By the time you have worked your way to the front of the park, the crowds from the parade taping should be gone.

We were at the park for the parade last year when they were taping and it was really not that bad. Claudia is right the front of the park will be mobbed and hard to traverse but the Castmembers are good about getting you to where you want to go. They actually had us walk back stage and we came out next to Buzz Lightyear. I wouldn't be to worried about it as long as you are ok with missing out on Main St.

Here is the email I got today. They moved the Celine Dion taping to the Grand Floridian. The front of the park will be busy, once you get past the Hub you should be fine.
