Comments

  • I was disappointed with it this year. Too many performances and barely any parade shots, and when there were it was covered with co-hosts. Try better next year, please.

  • I missed the original airing of this. Will there be another airing of it or a way to view it on demand?

  • Please go back to the traditional Christmas parade format. Our family tunes in every year to see the floats, get the behind the scene look at the rides and parks. Where was Santa? This year it was just a bunch of singers, that’s not the Disney parade. Very disappointing.
