Our very own Matt Paul attended this weekend’s Walt Disney World Christmas Day Parade tapings, and reports back to us with these photos:
This Friday and Saturday were days for Walt Disney World Christmas Day parade taping
Dream Along With Mickey performed on a slightly modified stage for the later performances
These red curtains were put in just for the parade taping.
Also this garland is only in place for the parade taping.
Filming equipment.
The performances on Friday were held in Town Square, as opposed to the norm of the Castle Forecourt stage.
A huge Mickey balloon.
Set-up on the Town Square stage.
American Idol Season 7 winner David Cook performing
Stage decorations
Sarah Brightman (who performed in Phantom of the Opera) was up next
Moving quickly over to Epcot that evening, this area by World showcase we have been following for months is nearing completion
It looks very similar to the kiosk set up near the park entrance back in September
Now on to Matt’s second day. Here you see Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa recording their parts up on the Main Street Train Station, which again is a different location from previous years.
Regis in the Rain, just Regis in the rain
“Where’s Gelman?”
“Is that your final answer?”
Cameras covered from the rain
“Hi wet people!”
Mary Poppins apparently forgot her umbrella
It unfortunately is our duty to report that Miley Cyrus performed at the taping.
And so did her dad.
We end off this photo report at Disney’s Hollywood Studios with the new Christmas decorations on Hollywood Blvd.
