As an update, here is some information about the WDW parade that will be on ABC on Christmas Day:

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. – LIVE with Regis and Kelly stars Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa return for a second consecutive year as co-hosts of the 19th Annual Walt Disney World Christmas Day Parade on ABC-TV Christmas Day from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. (EST) and 10 a.m. to noon (PST).

Presiding over all the fun and festivities of the two-hour Disney holiday extravaganza, Regis and Kelly will provide color commentary for the traditional Walt Disney World Christmas Day Parade down Main Street, U.S.A. and serve up the introductions for the telecast’s special guests, which include: comedian Wayne Brady from The Wayne Brady Show...co-host of The View, Star Jones...co-host of The View and new host of the syndicated Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, Meredith Vieira...stars of Less Than Perfect, Eric Roberts and Sara Rue...Hilary Duff from Lizzie McGuire...Tisha Campbell from My Wife and Kids...and from the Disney Channel, superstar children’s entertainment group, The Wiggles.

In addition to the special’s popular performers and parade pageantry, the 19th annual Walt Disney World Christmas Day Parade will showcase all the fun and fantasy of the globally renowned theme parks at Walt Disney World Resort – from the enchanting Magic Kingdom and spectacular Epcot to the thrill-filled Disney-MGM Studios and majestic Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

The 19th annual Walt Disney World Christmas Day Parade will also feature show-stopping Walt Disney World entertainment, including Playhouse Disney-Live on Stage! with Bear, Rolie Polie Olie and Stanley...and unforgettable performances from the cast of Beauty and the Beast and the inspiring Festival of the Lion King.

At the heart of the telecast – and a television tradition nearly two decades strong – is Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Parade, during which everyone’s favorite Disney characters take center stage for television’s happiest parade as it makes its merry way down Main Street, U.S.A. in the Walt Disney World Magic Kingdom.

The 19th annual Walt Disney World Christmas Day Parade is a production of Walt Disney World.

Mickey, Thanks for the parade update. I often get up too early Christmas morning thinking it's as early as the Thanksgiving parade. :laugh

A list of radio stations broadcasting the radio special was supposed to be listed on the website but it looks like they didn't because I can't find it. I found out a little more last night. They're covering the candlelight processional at WDW and are taking you to California, DL Paris and Tokyo so listeners will hear how the other parks celebrate the holidays. Celebrities will introduce the music and some will talk about their favorite holiday memories.:)
