Disney website suggests this year's Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade will be based around 'Frozen'

A new page on the official Disney.com website suggests that Frozen will play a major role in this year's 'Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade.'


Heading into its 31st year, the 2014 ABC Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade will be titled 'Disney Parks Frozen Christmas Celebration.'

The parade is typically filmed in early December at both Disneyland Resort in California, and the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, although no details have yet been released for this year.

It has been speculated that their may be significant changes to the format for 2014 after the parade has followed a very similar pattern in recent years. A shift towards Frozen would certainly be a change in direction for the TV special.

The Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade will air on ABC in the U.S.A. on December 25 at 9am EST.

I'm calling it now.....Idina Menzel and Josh Gad.
This...is gonna get ugly. :in pain:
So I wonder if the parade itself will be more Frozen themed or just the tv presentation of it?

Do you have a source or is this your personal speculation?
Just heard Fantasmic is being changed to Frozentasmic. The water lagoon will be changed to ice. Elsa will appear and fight off the several Arendelle villains including the Duke of Weasletown before he transforms into the Dragon of Weasletown. At the finale, Anna will be driving Kristoff's sleigh with all the characters following closely behind. Elsa will then appear at the top of the mountain in her ice dress and then magically appear on the bottom of the stage in her "coronation" dress before uttering that classic phrase: "Some, magical ice powers, huh? Uh huh."


See it in your mind and you will find that you'll love Frozen
Mysteries and magic, ice castles fantastic.............

No no, I have no sources that I can claim. This is purely a witty attempt at humor on my part:)

I would say there's a very good chance of them appearing.
Not to mention, the Frozen Ice Palaces are opening up at malls all over the country and they are drawing in huge crowds. So, Santa better watch his back, lol. Just kidding, I think this can actually help Santa.

As for the Frozen parade, it will be nice to see something different and I don't expect it to become a permanent fixture at the parade. However, if this turns out to be a success -- I would like to see the trend continue with other IP's -- like each year the parade can based around a different Disney IP.

Gotcha. Because the host has been rather guarded. I haven't been able to find that out anywhere.
I'm not shocked kids love the movie. The writing for the movie has to be some of the most juvnile writing for a Disney movie. Of course it appeals to kids. A fun and likeable talking snowman sure helps. And a story about sisters is vastly appealing. Frankly I prefer them on Once up a Time over the cartoon versions they're based on.

But there's just no denying it's popularity. However, it's becoming just a little too much at this point. We get it. It's popular.

And for as many who truly do love it, there are also those parents and kids who love it just because everyone else does.

Saw a picture of Disneyland and they already have a stage set up for the taping and it's already Frozenfied.
This would have made perfect sense last year as a way of promoting the movie.

Now it just feels like what it is, a delayed reaction.

It's certainly not delayed... it's called demand. People want it, Disney delivers. If any movie they made in the last 10 years was anywhere near as successful as this film had been, maybe we would all understand... But in reality this is a first for the modern Disney company, an animated film that smashes records, lands a spot in the top 5 grossing films EVER, and has merchandise flying off the shelves.

If you think this is some delayed reaction your a terribly far off the mark. This is just Disney giving the public what they want.
