Time neede in park for Grinchmas and Macy's Parade

[Rpsemont]

I really planning for next year (not too fanatical, huh?) but can anyone give me an idea of time of day and time needed to see both of these? We just returned from WDW F&W and have decided we want to see WDW at Xmass next year, but also want to do F&W again. DD has limited days she can miss from school so I'm trying to plan for how many days to go in the fall and how many in dec. I want to factor time here with seeing all the holiday stuff at WDW. Already need to plan for 3 mights at WDW fos CP, Osborne, and MVMCP. Could we fit Grinchmas and parade into a day and still do something at WDW at night?

We will be going down on the 15th and plan to do Universal and IOA the first day. My understanding is that the parade is just before dark, so I don't know about getting something in after. We are going to spend the whole day there and probably take in a movie to rest, but I'll let you know how feasible this would be after our trip.

That would be great! Thanks!

Please get me the times also!

How long does the parade last? Do you think we could be back at WDW by 7ish to sneak into epcot for CP? Also, anything for Grinchmas we need to plan for, or is it mostly decorations in the Suess are, able to be seen anytime during the day?

If the schedule is like last year (I was planning this Christmas before last Christmas so I understand completely, lol), Grinchmas is decorated as Whoville but there is also a show called the Whobilation and the showtimes in 2003 were 12, 2, 4:30 and 5:30. We're going this year on the 23rd so I can review after we return. I'm very excited about seeing the Grinch (probably moreso than my kids even).

Just saw the Whobilation Tuesday-it was awesome! It looked like they came right out of the movie. I was SO excited to see Max The makeup is so good at Universal. We were very impressed with Halloween Horror Nights and Grinchmas.
