Disney Christmas Parade 2009 To Be Bi-Coastal

The Disney Christmas Parade 2009 continues a long tradition for the theme parks. It will be hosted on both coasts, by Kelly Ripa at Walt Disney World and Ryan Seacrest at Disneyland. When will the parade be broadcast? It will show at 10AM on ABC.

Regis Philbin usually co-hosts with his morning show co-star Kelly Ripa. However, for Disney Christmas Parade 2009, Kelly will have to do double-duty as Regis is recovering from recent surgery.

The Disney Christmas Parade 2009 is the 26th anniversary of the event. Guest stars on the show will include some huge stars, such as Stevie Wonder, but also some "faux stars" from Disney channel shows. Naturally there will be floats galore as well.

Some of the stars to be showcased (all of these are subject to change) at the Disney Christmas Parade 2009 will include ten-time Grammy winner Celine Dion. She will sing "Don't Save It All for Christmas Day," and "O' Come All Ye Faithful"

At the same time at Disney Christmas Parade 2009, the aforementioned legend Stevie Wonder will perform his very own holiday song, "What Christmas Means to Me." Yanni will bring his Yanni Voices to perform a reverent arrangement of "O Holy Night" featuring Nathan Pacheco.

American Idol winner Kris Allen will perform "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree." There appears to be no sign of runner-up and favorite Adam Lambert at Disney Christmas Parade 2009. Small wonder, based on his recent controversial appearances, which would not be Disney-friendly.

For Disney Channel fans, Disney Christmas Parade 2009 will have one of the channel's biggest stars, or rather, group of stars. Jonas Brothers will perform. So will Selena Gomez from the Disney show "The Wizards of Waverly Place."

Also at Disney Christmas Parade 2009 will be Tony Award winner Anika Noni Rose. She is also the voice of Princess Tiana from the new Walt Disney Pictures animated feature film, The Princess and the Frog.

Also appearing will be "Sonny with a Chance" star Demi Lovato. In a somewhat advertising-based appearance, Travel Channel host Samantha Brown will appear from Disney Cruise Line, aboard the Disney Wonder cruise ship, during the Disney Christmas Parade 2009.

Naturally, there will also be plenty of non-humans at the Disney Christmas Parade 2009. Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Pluto, Donald Duck and Goofy, among plenty of other Disney characters, will appear.

Finally, there will be an exhausted big guy showing up at Disney Christmas Parade 2009. Indeed, it will be Santa Claus himself, fresh off his overnight delivery run.
