    Christmas Day Parade Taping

    Today they started filming portions of the Disney Christmas Day Parade at Magic Kingdom. Yanni performed Oh Holy Night and Kris Allen sang Rockin Around the Christmas Tree. Nick Cannon was also there doing some intros and promotional segments. He was throwin it back to Kelly Ripa at certain points but Kelly was not there today. I assume she will be there tomorrow and/or Saturday to tape her parts. Regis is reportedly not going to be there this year.





    The Goodyear blimp was flying overhead most of the day...



    Yanni performed in front of the castle...







    Kris Allen performed on a stage set up at the hub where Walt's statue is usually located...









    Nick Cannon shooting various segments...






    Check back tomorrow and Saturday for more updates!

    I went today and was told that all performances today AND tomorrow have been canceled due to weather. I kind of figured today would be canceled but I was surprised to hear that they already made a decision about tomorrow too. Production will resume on Sunday.

    Also, I asked a couple cast members about the Walt statue and they thought it was still there.. just covered by the boxes.

    Thanks for finding out, Mookie! :D That sucks that they canceled the taping for tomorrow as the weather is supposed to clear out by afternoon. :(

    Celine Dion actually performed today at the Grand Floridian for the taping. I'm guessing she had a scheduling conflict and had to do it ASAP.

    The Orlando Sentinel linked a video of Celine Dion's performance from today's taping: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7skTJ...layer_embedded

    According to the Orlando Sentinel, Sunday's filming will consist of the Jonas Brothers, Kelly Ripa, Steve Rushton, the golden retrievers from "Santa Buddies" and the parade floats.

    So if they tape all of this before Christmas Day, do they do anything special on Christmas Day itself? I've never been to WDW on Xmas.

    I don't think so, to tell you the truth. They may have a special show on the Castle Stage, but not really sure.
