Larger crowds due to Christmas parade taping?

We will be in WDW while they are taping the Christmas parade. It switches parks and somehow we have the same exact scheduled park for each day. Changing our FP and ADRs would be a pain this close to our trip. Will the crowds be a lot bigger in those parks on those days?

First off, they aren't taping a "parade;" they are just taping musical acts. So the areas around where they are taping will be crowded, but otherwise, you'll probably be okay. It will be more crowded than if they weren't taping, but at this point, there's not much you can do.

We were at MK a couple years ago on taping day and it was our best day. We got right on so many rides because most people were around the castle for the musical acts. Also, all the princesses/princes were lined up for the parade that morning so my kids were able to get awesome pics with them while they were waiting in line back toward Adventureland. Enjoy!
