Comments
They were already recorded the week of Nov 9th.
Has anyone answered yet if these are being pre recorded or if they are live performances?
Are these live or recorded? Will be at Disney World on Nov. 24th and 25th.
Will there be special tickets required to attend the MK on these days?
Is Epcot decorated between November 18th and Thanksgiving Day we’re looking to spend one day at the parks and that would be our time to visit when I’ve contacted the travel company for Disney they were unable to answer the question any help would be appreciated
Will be there be any way for us Disney fans across the oceans to watch these specials?
Is this live on Thanksgiving day in Florida?
Hi, Are these INSTEAD of the Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade? Also is there any chance these can be viewed online by the UK citizens/guests? 🙂
All the filming is taking place in early November.
Any chance these might be put on Hulu after they’re aired? I’d love to see them but we “cut the cord”
Hi Jennifer. Are these live tapings? We will be at the MK on the 25th and wondered if anything was going on Black Friday. Thanks
So this will actually be filmed in Disneyland this year? My family and I were excited to see Disneyland in all its Diamond Celebration glory on Christmas Day and ended up disappointed that the California parks weren’t featured at all.
Hi Jennifer-Do you know what the taping schedule is for the Walt Disney World Segments for the November 24TH and 25TH Celebrations will be? We will be in Walt Disney World then and I want to surprise my daughter.
Hi Jennifer – What the taping schedule for the Disneyland segments? I’d like to be there when this is taped. Thank you!
