Disney Christmas Parade: A Treat for Animal Lovers

Published December 13, 2011

The Disney Christmas Parade is a real treat for child and adult animal lovers alike.

All animal loving children and adults are in store for a delightful treat on Sunday, December 25, when the fabulous 28th annual "Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade" special will be held at the Magic Kingdom in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. A variety of stars from both the Disneyland Resort in California and Walt Disney World in Florida will be featured in this holiday special, which will be hosted by actor, best-selling author and entertainment journalist Mario Lopez.

But for folks who don’t live nearby, there’s no reason to fret about it; the program airs nationwide on ABC-TV on Christmas Day. From all I have already heard and read about it, this is definitely a show that’s not to be missed, and one which I bet will enhance all of the Christmas Day festivities. In fact, even though my husband Marty and I live in Florida, you can bet your bottom dollar that we and our two kitties will eagerly be propped in front of our widescreen TV to catch all the action.

Along with those famous Disney favorites Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse (who will make their appearance on a Christmas tree float), Cinderella's Pumpkin Coach will be lead by an adorable herd of miniature ponies.

All animal lovers can also appreciate that the parade will feature some of the canine stars from the upcoming film "Treasure Buddies!" Lopez, a passionate dog lover, had the opportunity to spend some quality time hanging out with the three gorgeous pooches, and we'll get to see them as well during the parade as they roll by on their very own treasure chest float!

Make sure to check your local listings for the time the 28th annual "Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade" airs in your area. For local broadcast times, talent updates/changes and more information, visit Disney Parks Christmas Parade website.

As the saying goes, “everyone loves a parade," and this Disney special is no exception. Will you be watching it this holiday? Share in a comment.

Disney has lost any claim to my heart, as one of the largest and most powerful corporations; no, I most definitely will NOT watch.

Christmas Day is usually a bustle around here. But if all my guests are gone by the time this parade comes on, you bet I will be watching
