    When is the live taping of the parade

    Hi Tammy! Welcome to planDisney!

    Being just a hop, skip, and jump away from the magic as a Florida resident must be a dream come true! With multiple Annual Pass options available to Florida residents, you can visit as often as you can.

    Tammy, I'm assuming you are inquiring about the live taping of the parade at the Magic Kingdom that airs on Christmas Day. In years past, there has been a Christmastime special that includes musical performances, a parade, and a host of other events. These happenings have typically been recorded sometime in November, with last year happening on Veteran's Day weekend. These dates are usually not announced in advance, so it may be the luck of the draw if you happen to be in the parks during the holiday season. I'm sure there are a lot of factors that go into choosing the dates that many are not privy to.

    The Magic Kingdom usually undergoes a transformation once the Halloween season comes to an end at the end of October. The park quickly switches from Halloween to Christmas, with little time in between. Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party is set to begin on November 7th, so decorations will need to be completed by then. 

    In addition to this special ticketed event, Disney's Hollywood Studios is also hosting a holiday event. Disney Jollywood Nights is making a return this year and will be hosted on select nights from November to late December. This event brings you back to old Hollywood, with all the glitz and glamour that you can think of!

    I hope this information helps you plan for your stay, Tammy! Stop back and see us again at planDisney!
