    I really enjoyed the parade video. I’ve been to Disney World three times and Disneyland once. Some of you may be wondering about the Callie and calliope comment I made 2 years ago. Whenever I was in high school, I had a friend named Callie who played Calliope in the Cinderella play and I remember the laughing and snorting part of the play. I was also an Angry Birds fan so I found the laughing and snorting section to be amusing, so during my lunch times and back when Callie was my link in social studies class, I pretended to be a bird who dislikes the fact that Callie was Cinderella’s mean stepsister pig who steals nests and eggs and then my friend Callie pretended that she had an identical twin sister named Calliope who was a nice bird who disliked Callie, so she helps defend me and my eggs from Callie. I really loved my friend and enjoyed creating interesting combinations of storytelling with her. i certainly will miss the high school plays she was a part of.

    Man…my kids STILL get play out of the Bear in the big blue house dvds. They are 1, 2, 3, 6, and 8yo. Instead of smartphones and tictok they have that kind of stuff.

    That show should still be on. Its amazing.

    I see what they were going for with light magic and the tech is really cool, but man it's like aliens tried to design a parade without ever actually seeing one. Could have been such a cool experience if it had just been… not light magic, I guess

    Listen, I don’t want to come off as rude, but when people in the chat questioned the gaming references, mainly the final fantasy stuff, I facepalmed and cringed. I get that these people are mainly Disney fans and not gamers… but come on, seriously?

    Glad to see all the love for the Tapestry of Nations puppets! I remember them from the retooled version of the parade, Tapestry of Dreams. In 2015 when I was doing the College Program at WDW, I took a class on Entertainment Production that met at the Entertainment office building, and a few of the puppets live on hung above the cubicles! I loved seeing that they still were around. We also got to see a behind the scenes video of the changeover of the version of this that got performed during the Superbowl Halftime show.

    Such a really clever idea for a charity event. I've really enjoyed seeing all the defunct parades and listening to everyone's entertaining commentary. It reminds me of an old school Telethon. Hats off to all of you guys

    The fact that they have this uproarious, climatic rendition of Winter Wonderland that they play proudly without variation for so many parades, when there isn't a single snowflake in sight… that's about right.

    During that ‘02 parade, the guys perfectly explain why I hate the modern Christmas Parade. There’s no actual parade! It’s just castle shows of singers I’ve never heard of and elongated commercials for the parks

    that last parade made NO SENSE and it was beautiful. highlight for me was random spongebob, alone, with no other IP, on the central park ice skating float.

    This was my first year watching Charityland and I’m so excited to watch moments that I missed. Loved the commentary, guests, and the chat was hilarious. Really warmed my heart!

    So many awesome people have been a part of this. Even Ryan Bergara! A BuzzFeed Unsolved/Defunctland crossover is the chef's kiss
