Where to watch the Disney Parks Magical Christmas Day Parade

Whether it’s watching your favorite Disney character wave enthusiastically to the crowd around them or seeing performances from singers and musicians from a variety of genres, there’s something for everyone at the event, which is why so many people tune in every year to watch it.
