That's just the pre-Christmas 'Holiday Spectacular' pre-recorded infomercial on December 1. The regular Christmas pre-recorded infomercial Parade will be at 7am PST on Christmas Day (unless there is a second West Coast showing at 10am PST instead).

Why is the Christmas Parade being shown at 5 a.m. on the West Coast?

Going to the holiday party and filming days at the parks with the kids, and then being home and a couple weeks later getting to see the parks and clips of the things they were filming while you were there is one of the best tings ever.

I hear about WDW news exclusively on WDWMagic and random bus drivers, shame the latter isn’t an option, word of mouth just doesn’t capture the service they’re doing.

Without looking, that empanada sounds awfully similar to the one from FArts and I’m not mad about it.

Re new holiday entertainment at studios. It fills a void in a park desperately needing streetmosphere and these performers are all very talented but it’s obvious to me at least that they’re all third party. The production quality and proper theming isn’t there. Both the bands are really good but they don’t match their settings. It looks cheap.
