2013 marks the 30^th Anniversary of the Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade.  Our host from Walt Disney World is Neil Patrick Harris, and he kicks off the festivities with a fabulous opening number, “Are you ready for Christmas?”, that stretches from the partner statue to Town Square.

Nick Cannon joins the action from Disneyland, and Lara Spencer co-hosts from the Magic Kingdom.  Samantha Brown is once again our travel correspondent.  We get a look at Disney’s latest, Saving Mr. Banks, which was filmed in Disneyland.  Neil Patrick Harris visits Adventureland where the Jungle Cruise has been transformed into the Jingle Cruise.   Josh Gad takes us on a trip to Norway, ok, Norway in Epcot, but check out the Adventure by Disney that visits the real Norway.   Additional appearances include Sarah Hyland, Cameron Mathison, the cast of Disney’s Newsies, with performances by Mary J. Blige & David Foster, American Idol Candice Glover, II Volo, Demi Lovato, Ne-Yo, Jason Derulo & Jordin Sparks, The Wanted, and Disney Channel stars Dove Cameron and the cast of Teen Beach Movie (Ross Lynch, Maia Mitchell, Grace Phipps, and Garrett Clayton).
