Holiday Hot Spots: Sleeping at SeaWorld and Taping at Disney
 With all the incredible holiday attractions to choose from at Orlando theme parks, the decision of where to spend your Orlando vacation can be a hard one. We at OrlandoFunTickets.com are committed to making your decision just a teeny bit harder with every blog as we continue premiering all the hottest holiday events and celebrations. In that spirit, here are some more holiday hot spots that we think are particularly neat and a fun treat for your family this season. Over at SeaWorld Orlando, the park will soon be holding one of their frequent sleepover events, during which the whole family can learn about marine wildlife while snuggling up in the actual animal exhibits. With the Frosty Friends Sleepover, your family will specifically be getting cozy with animals from the Arctic and Antartic, and you’ll all be camping out on sleeping bags in the Penguin Encounter area. This cool overnight adventure includes seasonal games and activities, animal interaction, a pizza dinner, and a continental breakfast. This overnight adventure will take place from December 4th into December 5th, and the sleepover can be packaged with next-day entry into SeaWorld for extra fun and savings. Be sure to reserve the sleepover early, as this event happens only a few times a year at SeaWorld and is an experience to remember. And over at Walt Disney World, we’ve gotten word that the taping of the Christmas Day Parade at Magic Kingdom will be open to all visitors of the park this year. In past years, tickets for reserved sections of Main Street, USA and the areas in front of the castle were released in the beginning of November and scooped up immediately by eager fans. This year, the parade will reportedly take place on December 5th and 6th, and the word is that anyone with a regular admission ticket to the park will be able to be a bystander in the parade and watch amid the insanely crowded Main Street, space permitting. The first day of taping will likely take place in front of Cinderella Castle, while the second day will probably film on Main Street. Though it’s fun to see, be warned that the taping is a lengthy process, since the parade/shows are often stopped and restarted in order for cameras to get all the material and angles that they need. Kids who aren’t patient enough to wait should probably pass up on this one. Nevertheless, the parade is an incredible annual special that includes appearances from all your favorite Disney characters, along with floats carrying celebrities, musical performances, marching bands from various schools and communities all over the country, and previews of shows and attractions at Disney theme parks. This year, the two-hour television special will feature performances by Miley Cyrus and her dad Billy Ray Cyrus, High School Musical’s Corbin Bleu, American Idol winner David Cook, the cast of Broadway’s Mary Poppins, Sarah Brightman, the stars of Playhouse Disney’s Imagination Movers, and more. The Jonas Brothers will also appear in the Christmas Day Parade, but their segment was already taped in Disneyland Resort in California. This year’s special will celebrate its 25th anniversary, and Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa will reprise their role as hosts. In order to catch all the holiday fun, be sure to get your discount SeaWorld tickets and discount Disney tickets at OrlandoFunTickets.com. We won’t tell you which fun holiday activity to choose – only that no matter which one it is, you’re bound to have a great time.

Walt Disney World Christmas Day Parade
 Christmas at Walt Disney World in Orlando is full of wonderful surprises and annual traditions.

One of the most popular traditions won’t be unwrapped until Christmas Day, and millions of people will be watching.

As in previous years, Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa will host the two-hour march down Main Street U.S.A. Joining them will be superstars like Miley Cyrus, Patti LaBelle, Josh Groban and the Jonas Brothers. Also making special appearances will be fan favorites from “Dancing With The Stars” and cast members from the Disney blockbuster “High School Musical 2.” The Harlem Gospel Choir will join Jessica Simpson for the show’s grand finale.  The Christmas Day Parade will also feature Disney’s newest princess, Giselle from Walt Disney Pictures’ “Enchanted,” making her first TV appearance alongside Mickey, Minnie and parade favorites like the gingerbread men, dancing snowmen, toy soldiers and marching reindeer. Also new this year is a “Toy Story” float featuring Woody, Buzz, Jess and their pals. Other floats will feature Lightning McQueen and Tow Mater from the Disney-Pixar film “Cars,” Aladdin and Princess Jasmine parading on horseback and a Royal Candlelight Ball showcasing Snow White, Prince Charming, Sleeping Beauty, Prince Phillip, Mulan and Shang. The Seven Dwarfs will be tending to a bejeweled Christmas Tree and Disney’s famous Toy Soldiers will be doing their annual Toyland March.
