Dance to Your DuckTales Unit
Ben: There's another bunch of characters coming our way. There's the mischievous Stitch.

David: And cuddly Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, and Eeyore. Led by the stars of DuckTales, Huey, Dewey, and Louie, and Webby. They're so cute.

Elizabeth: And the richest uncle, Scrooge McDuck, his pilot Launchpad McQuack, and the irascible Donald Duck. But unfortunately, Della couldn't make it to the parade today.

Ben: Well, I think Della encountered a flight delay because she kept asking for her family presents from Anna, Elsa, Judy Hopps, Nick Wilde, Moana, and Lea Salonga.

Elizabeth: I see that it can't be their last Christmas without her.

David: I totally agree.

Celebration Finale Unit
David: Now here comes a big cavalcade of Disney Channel stars. Let's see if we can name them all.

Ben: Alright, now there's the Cheetah Girls in their brand new trikes.

David: There's Miranda May and her friends from Bunk'd, Raven and Annalise van der Pol from Raven's Home.

Elizabeth: Correct so far. Oh, and there's Coop and Cami, and Ruth Righi and Ian Reed Kesler from Sydney to the Max.

David: There's Brenda Song, Phil Lewis, S Club 3, the Steps, and of course...

All three: Roger Rabbit!

Ben: And what about those other amazing performers? But they have to head back home after this.

Elizabeth: Well, if you wouldn't mind, would you guys relax and let everyone at home enjoy the final part of the parade?

Trivia

 * Elizabeth Ann Berg uses her Kate Monster voice from the now defunct musical Avenue Q to make her sound younger.
 * The instrumental overture to "Ready to Play" is abridged to just the first portion.
 * The music of "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah" during the finale unit is slightly altered with the transition to the last verse with trumpets playing similarly to a small portion to the song "Mickey's Magic Land" and the last verse playing slightly faster.
