As others have said, I appreciate the music changes and especially the inclusion of "From All of Us to All of You", the quintessential Disney Christmas song.

Here’s a look at the filming set up in front of the Christmas tree this afternoon: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54128093474_0b6f6a62ba_k.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54126907777_e776734a46_k.jpg

It isn't much of a parade, anymore. It's 2nd rate singers wailing around the parks on both coasts and a look at attractions. Oops, thought you were asking about TV Xmas parade!

Good to know. …BTY = ?

Currently, MOUACT is only 1 of 2 Parades with Full Cast! Along with BTY! Let's hope that changes for the better in 2025!.........

MOUACT's Theme Song will be HARD to outdo!!!!

This may be an odd question: is the parade worth watching if you’re not particularly interested in parades? E.g. is this parade ‘head and shoulders’ above most other parades of any type?

ABC's Taping begins today! So Nice not to see Castle Stage not walled off!! Esp last night at MVMCP!

Curious if there was a reason behind changing the music? I don’t see it as a major change that would draw more people to watch the parade. If they had added new floats then yes. I hope a brand new parade along with BTY is in the pipeline.
