Registration for 2009 Walt Disney World Christmas Day Parade Taping Now Open; Days Extended

Walt Disney World is now accepting general requests to attend the taping of the 2009 Walt Disney World Christmas Day Parade. As expected, taping will take place during the first weekend of December, but this year, taping will also occur on the Thursday before, making the taping a total of three days, December 3 – 5. Thursday and Friday will consist of performance tapings at Cinderella Castle and in the Main Street USA area while Saturday will be the parade itself (which may also contain additional performances at select locations along the parade route). Guests may opt to choose 1, 2 or all 3 days at time of registration.

Sign-up is free and includes park admission to the Magic Kingdom for the remainder of the day (note guests who exit the park after the taping may not be allowed re-entry without other legitimate admission media).

Registrations are accepted up until December 2 but are limited and distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Um, the parade isn't live? Watching that commercial - oops, parade! - is an annual tradition for me. I always thought it was live?

Yeah they have to tape it and air it later so all the people packed in there like sardines get a chance to see what's going on!

wonder how many people see it, think it is live and say "Gee it doesn't look to busy... let's go next year." Surprise.

I always thought those parades were filmed live. Is this how all the parades are done? Are they going to do this next year?

They have been taped for as long as I can remember (last several years). It was just a few years ago that it was storming in Orlando on Christmas Day, but bright and shiney for the parade!
