this is so funny, Santa! You just delivred 1 billion presents in 12 hours? Now what do you want to do?
I want to be in a parade at Disney!
I think he would prolly rather be home passed out with a beer in his hand.
Disney Christmas Parade
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.
Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

Re: Disney Christmas Parade
We love having it on the tube on Christmas morning. More so this year because we head to WDW on Jan 1.
A couple of years ago we went to the parade taping. My daughter was very excited about a number of her fav Disney channel stars performing. We were placed right near the stage in front of the castle. Then we found out that the performer on our stage was to be Yanni.
After a 3 hour wait. She was crushed when we showed her a couple Yanni videos from youtube. We made a quick exit out of there and enjoyed our park day. watching the broadcast, there were a lot of bored kids watching Yawnni ! They spent a lot less time on crowd shots than at other stages. Most of the kids from our area had vacated by the time he went on stage. Those that remained did not seem impressed. Why would you pack a stage with an adult oriented performer with a bunch of under 10 year olds??

Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

He must work cheap.

"Yes, sir, but the water is fake."

Re: Disney Christmas Parade
The imagination movers would have gone over big. But they were shooting in Disneyland. There were other acts at WDW with kid appeal, but at least the kept Celine Dion confined to the Grand Florisian. That would have shattered all the glass on main street !drcorey wrote:What did they want? the Wiggles?

Re: Disney Christmas Parade
I don't know if she's welcome back on Main Street. Last time she performed in the MK, she stomped her foot and demanded we stop blowing the whistles on the train and riverboat while she was singing.delsdad wrote:There were other acts at WDW with kid appeal, but at least the kept Celine Dion confined to the Grand Florisian.

Management not only said, "No," they told us railroaders about the request. Boy howdy did we blow the whistle that day!

Re: Disney Christmas Parade
You just made my day ! I am so happy to hear that! Ive encountered "herself" and that hubby/manager weasel of hers on a couple of gigs. They treat their anglophone crew like dirt. Their francophone crew like equals. It was very odd. Lobster for the frenchies, deli tray for the hEngleesh !Zazu wrote:I don't know if she's welcome back on Main Street.

I hope that monorails and watercraft were aware of this while she was at the Grand. They could add their unique tones to the recordings!
