Rick,
The Disney/MGM studios parade uses the same cars as the regular parade. They are just gussied up for the holidays. Some of the dancers also wear Christmas outfits.
One funny section is the Kermit-Miss Piggy car, which is bursting with presents, all addressed "From Moi, to Moi." Dancers are also following the car, carrying towers of more gifts, almost dropping them, etc.
The idea is that it's a Hollywood Christmas parade and there are prerecorded host voiceovers that play in the music (like the conceit of the regular parade.)
The music is a medley of classic Christmas carols, sung by a Disney-type chorus. (I'm sure you'd like it.) The same medley plays for each loop, and then there is a finale medley at the parade's end.
The Animal Kingdom parade is the Jammin' Jungle Parade, again dressed up for Christmas. For example, instead of Donald's boat blowing bubbles, it blows snow. He is making a snowman.
The music of the character floats is all themed to Christmas songs. Donald's is Frosty the Snowman, for example. One cool part is the drumming in between the character floats is adapted to the Christmas song featured. So you hear an African drumming version of Frosty.
The main song used at the beginning of the parade and the end is the Jammin' Jungle song, with different lyrics. For example, regular: "We're jammin' in the jungle to the rhythm of one" becomes "It's a jingle, jangle, jungle full of holiday fun." Mickey also has different lines and speaks about everyone coming together to enjoy the festive season.
Both makeovers are really well done. It's not as if they just put a Santa hat on a float and called it new. The parades really stand on their own and work well as holiday offerings.
And, Dirk, I hope too they can release the Halloween version of Wishes!
