A New Year's Created by Kids

It's all part of the Happy U Year celebration -- children all over the country have created their own video masterpieces and chosen their favorite show episodes.

DAVE'S ANSWER
The Candlelight Procession began as a Christmas holiday tradition at Disneyland in 1958, with a concept developed by Dr. Charles C. Hirt of the University of Southern California School of Music. It has continued every year since that time, usually with a different guest narrator each year. A Florida version of the Candlelight Procession began at the Magic Kingdom in 1971, moving to its present location at Epcot in 1994.
