Like I mentioned in the Podcast section, seeing the characters talk is kind of weird.

Also, Katherin McPhee is singing a Princess medley right now, and is it wrong of me to think that some of the Princesses don't look like "princesses"?? Belle and Jasmine more specifically.

I didn't know the "christmas" parade from Disneyland included the PoD!

It just finished playing on the east coast. The kids enjoyed most of it. The big exception was Patti LaBelle. I, personally, thought her voice sounded like fingernails on a chalkboard, but that's just me.

We really liked the new character heads that blinked and spoke. The seemed very well done.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

<<I didn't know the "christmas" parade from Disneyland included the PoD!>>

For the Christmas Day Parade telecast, the Christmas parades include every unit from every parade on property! :)

I missed the first hour of the show because ABC adjusted the airtime on the West Coast (stupid NBA telecast!), but I liked most of what I saw.

To the parents of the Hannah Montana fans out there - Does Miley Cyrus always sound that bad? Her performance sounded like somebody was going crazy on the sound mixing board. Usually, music people tend to do that when they don't have much to work with....

And Jessica Simpson... somebody apprently missed the rehearsal. Why'd somebody give her a mike that completely covered the bottom of her face, and why did she insist on holding it so it obscured her face?

Good show otherwise. Loved the preview footage of Toy Story Mania!

I thought Miley sounded a bit weird, but the girls loved it.

I missed Jessica, I had recorded it, we re-watched it today, but only the HSM2 and Miley parts again.

The blinking and talking mascots (Mickey, Minnie and Goofy) were a bit...disturbing...at least they're improving on how the mascots "talk". I remember Baloo would make noises, Donald would "quack", Lilo would say "yeah!" or "awww!" and Geppetto would actually hold a conversation (since his mustache covered his mouth).

Rats. Looks like I missed something significant.

Are you saying the characters in the parks now blink & talk?

Only at WDW.

Although, in the parade, Goofy was at DL, and he was talking, but it was for the parade only. :)

It's kind of weird. DD noticed when we were watching the parade.
