Just sat down to watch the rose bowl parade to see if Disneyland entered a float. No! Why are they only showing 1982? Did something happen that we can't see this years parade? Weird!
The reason they won't have the parade on a Sunday is because way back when, the parade would spook horses tied up outside the churches. Obviously no one rides horses to church now, but the tradition still stands. - PonyGrrl

Oh I thought it was because it was Sunday - church day in general. But that makes sense. - PrincessDuckie 587.4 #187 12:36PM
It's definitely tomorrow, my son is marching in it. He is going to be at the very beginning with the RCC band and he will be holding the letter "D" in rose parade! Disney is performing with them too :o) Go Jake!!! - SoCalJean

Asdfghjkl he's in the RCC band? Jealous. I wish I could go there but I'm already enrolled in a community college through my high school so I probably won't go there. - acpowers13 148.8 #2307 12:54PM

I bet! It's a huge honor to be in the Rose Parade 😊 - rbeezy 653.6 #160 12:56PM

The parade is tomorrow due to religious reasons. They never have it on Sunday. I'm with you and wanted to watch it today! Enjoy today and Happy New Year! - grumpypapa

It interferes with football, so they moved it to Monday! I think it's ridiculous! - akpoppins

It's sure to religious purposes, if the 1st falls on a Sunday then they have it on Monday so people can go to church. - Seacow 427.6 #295 9:42AM
I'd rather go to church. - MagicalCaprice 480.6 #248 10:36AM
Maybe true however, it also interferes with Sunday football and they would have to rearrange all the regular season to make up for the games missed due to the parade and rose bowl being on so that is another reason it is delayed! - akpoppins 243.3 #1068 12:31PM
Oh well! BOA had a cute It's a small World float in 1982: - topdisneymom

The Rose Parade will never happen on a Sunday. It was a decision they made 123 years ago!!! I'll be there!!!!! - caramiapoohAKAface

the Rose Parade is never on a Sunday because of the crowds coming out of the churchs on Colorado Blvd would scare the horses during the parade. Thus, if New Years is one a Sunday, its on the 2nd. - BaseballMickey_CM

I'm guessing it's because everyone involved with the Rose Parade decided to go to Disneyland instead, which would explain the massive crowd at the parks. - gerardlim57
