Hi everyone. Just a quick reminder that the Walt Disney World
Christmas Day Parade is coming up and from what I hear from friends
who attended the taping a few weeks back, it’s a must see this year.
Below is the official press release with all the info:

Lake Buena Vista, Fla. (Dec. 3, 2007) — This winter, cozy up and
get ready for the holidays — Disney style — as Disney Parks prepares
to shine brighter than ever when many of today’s biggest stars gather on
both coasts for the 24th annual "Walt Disney World Christmas Day
Parade." On Dec. 25, hosts Regis Philbin and Kelly
Ripa once again will lead the Emmy Award-winning holiday special
from Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Fla., and Ryan
Seacrest will again host from Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, Calif.

The special will air Dec. 25, 10 a.m. Eastern and 9 a.m. Central,
Mountain and Pacific times on ABC-TV, and will be broadcast in HD
for the first time.

The Walt Disney World Christmas Day Parade
is sure to sparkle as it glides down Main Street U.S.A. at the Magic Kingdom
park in Florida and Disneyland park in California to a brand-new musical
score.

In addition to the celebrity performances and appearances, this year,
viewers will celebrate Christmas morning with "Enchanting"
new Disney characters, plundering pirates, some of Disney’s favorite
holiday traditions and awe-inspiring floats — all sprinkled with pixie
dust.
