ddoll, I think I read it that way too. Pretty interesting perk. I wonder how busy it will be that day.

Isn't it funny how people think differently about things??

We were there last year when they were filming (we didn't know in advance, it just worked out that way) and we swore we would never do that again. It was packed out and we were miserable.

It was so bad to us that I called WDW when we got home to find out when they would be filming this year so we would be sure NOT to be there on that day. A very nice lady returned my call and gave me her direct number so I could call later in the year to find out the dates. I was just thinking the other day that I needed to go ahead and make that call but I guess I don't need to anymore!

We are going to be there then but will make our plans to be at another park those days! Maybe they will be less busy.

Arrgg!

We are scheduled to be there on the 2nd! I hope its not too busy. I would hate to be crammed in on our only day there! But I know I'll just be glad to be there, never the less!

We will be at WDW at that time period. We are currently scheduled for Epcot on Fri and MGM on Sun with Sat as an open day. Although we do have Breakfast at Chef Mickey's that morning we thought we may want to head to MK, but I'm thinking that might not be a good idea. Maybe we'll stick out heads in and see what it looks like. We also do go back for dinner that evening at LTT at 7.

Maybe we'll just do some resort hopping during that day or head to DTD.

I'll run it by the rest of the committee (DW) and we'll see what congress thinks (M-I-L & F-I-L & my mother).

No because we are checking in on the 4th, so we won't be there in time. We were close though

Did you sign up, looks like you'll be there in time.

lovemysons · 11-08-2005

Yes, we did sign up for the 2nd. Don't know how it will go. Does anyone know if they close off the park for the parade? I am now wondering about the crowds.

**MissDisney** · 11-08-2005

OMG, Rowdy, you are so HANDY!!! This will be so fun for anyone who can participate!

chris5568 · 11-08-2005

So when do you find out if you are choosen, do you have to wait until the 28th

TikiBird · 11-08-2005

I have to ask a question thats related here, but seems everyone knows this but me. What network will this parade be shown on?? I would assume the Disney Channel, but I have never seen it before on TV..

It's not on the Disney Channel -- it's on Disney's "other" channel, ABC.

TikiBird · 11-08-2005

Thanks a lot!! I don't get to watch too much TV and would not likely see the promos. Now I'll know to watch for them to find times etc.

Disneyguru · 11-09-2005

ABC at 10AM EST, or check your local listings (saw enough of those signs yesterday) Christmas day

Buzz & Woody · 11-10-2005

So what happens if you get chosen to be at the parade, but your children get out of control or something like that-can yo leave?

tiggerfan74 · 11-10-2005

Rowdy, it was very nice of you to post this info for all of us !! Thanks =)

Buzzy! Hey there! Hi there! Ho there!

To answer your question, you are added to the blopper real. Banned from WDW for life. And forced to endure a public flogging (Most people think the stockades over at Liberty Square are only for show!

).
