Although we don't have official confirmation, we're pretty sure that taping will be occurring at Disneyland this weekend for the annual Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade and the headlining band for Disneyland this year is the Backstreet Boys.
We don't have any information about parade times or performance locations but in years prior seats all long Main Street fill up starting in the morning with the parade taping going from around noon through about 3 or 4pm. Performances usually take place in front of the castle where an elaborate stage is setup for the tapings. Last year, Christina Aguilera's performance was moved into the lobby of the Grand Californian Hotel due to inclement weather.
Some quick Christmas decorations should start appearing on Main Street as early as today. In years past, celebrity performances at Disneyland have included Big Bad VooDoo Daddies, Selena Gomez, Katherin Jenkins and Nathan Pacheco.
This weekend kicks of quite a flurry of taping as once the Christmas Day Parade wraps its production, Hollywood comes right back in November 6 and 7 for taping of Saving Mr. Banks which takes Disneyland back to 1961 with Walt Disney himself leading "Mary Poppins" author PL Travers on a VIP tour. Filming locations are unconfirmed although early treatments of the script featured Walt and Travers on the King Arthur Carrousel.
