Dick Van Dyke was great, Harrison Ford seemed like he was in some sort of hostage situation.

2 hour Disney commercial! A waste of time, except for the Star Wars details.

DH and I loved it! Of course, the Star Wars stuff was fantastic, especially the music. We also liked Fallout Boy doing "I Wanna Be Like You". They sounded great. The "Step In Time" routine was wonderful, and I'm so glad they had Dick Van Dyke at the end. The Sorcerer's Apprentice segment was nice, too.

Of course it was a commercial for the Diamond Celebration. What did you expect? I just can't be that cynical. I enjoyed it for the musical and dance acts, and for the inclusion of Star Wars.

You've never seen the Disney Christmas parade? I guess the only difference is that they got advertisers to pay for their commercial. Sounds like a win/win for Disney!

Wow, I could have written this response. I feel exactly the same. The Travel Channel did all those Disney Parks hour long specials. I did not expect this to be anything like those.

I really enjoyed it! And found it to be much less of a 2 hour Disney commercial than the Christmas Day Parade or whatever they are calling it these days.

I was actually surprised at how little of the parks they showed and it seemed to be more focused on the guests and musical numbers. The Star Wars teaser was fun but didn't learn much. However, we really enjoyed the Star Wars in concert performance.
