I like how they are donating the Manderin Orange trees to a school after the parade.

I believe you can tour the floats after the parade , for a fee. My relative buys a package deal to see the parade in VIP section, hotel and views the floats.

I love Pasadena! I've never been there for this parade, but then I'm really not much for parades. I didn't even know you had to pay to see it.

I so miss going to the Rose Parade since moving from So Calif. TV doesn't do it justice. The floats are put on display for several days before they dismantle them. I've been over a dozen times and never had to pay to see it. Maybe, in the special stands & bleachers you do, I don't know.

I love watching the Rose Parade, the things they create are so clever and beautiful. It boggles my mind to think of how many roses and other flowers they use. I would have so much fun if I had the opportunity to work on a float. I'm watching it on NBC with Al and Hoda, they are having a good time. Looks like a beautiful day there in Pasadena.

Im recording it because Daryl Hall is supposed to be on, as well as the Voice singers.
