Its really interesting to see how many of these floats have been recycled or are still in their original form still in use.

Maybe the snowglobe was accompanied by one of those serial killer letters with magazine clippings used to spell out "You're going on a cruise with Mickey"

That was what I watched for lol. Kept skipping the musical acts and feel-good pieces. Granted those feel-good pieces really did involve kids doing amazing things. I would’ve been confused getting a snow globe of the Castle to alert me that I’m getting a free cruise though.

I feel old as well!! Highlights? Not many, but pretty cool preview of Toy Story Land..

It’s pretty dreadful. Bunch of teenie boppers I don’t recognize, but that’s Disney Channel. Raven’s still there though. She must be about 55 by now. I feel old.

The Disney Channel special is on all devices through the DisneyNow app as well.

Just noticed that the Disney Channel Holiday Special is now available On Demand on Spectrum Cable.. Used to be Time Warner for us.. Also, if you search Disney on the guide they also have videos on Happily Ever After and Rivers Of Light available on Demand as well.. Funny that it says original airdate is 12/1/17 but am watching now, commercial free! https://watch.spectrum.net/product/series/14781827/episodes Can't get direct link Also don't forget ABC's The Wonderful World of Disney: Magical Holiday Celebration Thursday, Nov 30th at 9:00 pm

Nah, those artists don't contribute to Disney's bottom line, and that's all that the former-live-Christmas-Parade-turned-90-minute-pre-recorded-infomercial is about these days.
