We are planning our next trip for the weekend of Nov 7-10th. We have never been during xmas time. I recently read something that leads me to believe they may be filming the xmas parade that weekend. Does anyone have any confirmation on that? If so does anyone have any tips when it comes to the parade? How does it work? Should we camp out? Is there a BEST spot? most importantly, will it be SUPER crowded?
Also not having ever been during xmas, anyone got any tips of must see experiences? We have been during halloween, so have seen Haunted mansion holiday.
Thanks gang
ArvisoCa6 --
The holiday season may not be in
full swing yet during your dates -- we are waiting for the official season start date to be revealed/announced -- but things like It's a Small World Holiday will probably be running when you're there, I'm fairly certain. Other things may not begin until the season officially starts (such as the Holiday tour or Viva Navidad), but it's hard to say because we don't know what the start date will be.
You should join us in the
Disneyland at Christmas/Holiday Season Superthread if you get the chance, as a lot of this kind of information is frequently discussed and/or has already been posted there. Scroll down the
posts on page 1, and you will see that there are many special things going on during the season.
The parade taping will most likely happen over 11/7 and 11/8 -- maybe segments of it could be taped even before 11/7. That's usually when it happens -- it cannot happen the following weekend because that will be the Avengers Half-Marathon weekend.
In this post --
HERE -- see my reply to
Misskitty3, with the quote from DIS Unplugged's
Nancy Johnson (in green) about the parade taping days. Nancy has been there on parade taping days, and I specifically asked her about it recently (my questions are in red). Her reply will give you a good idea of what to expect.
