ABC Primetime Preview Weekend
Page 1 of 38
On the weekend of September 6th and 7th, 2003 Disney's California Adventure hosted the second ABC Primetime Preview Weekend featuring the shows and stars of ABC. As part of the event DCA guests were invited to screen episodes of upcoming ABC Primetime series, partcipate in scenes with ABC stars at Casting Call and compete against each other for the chance at possibly appearing on an ABC reality show at Reality Check, listen.
Actors from each show were available to the media for a very brief question and answer session by the Golden Vine Winery. They also participated in a question and answer session for the public in the Golden State Amphitheater which lasted about 30 minutes. The stars also appeared in a slow moving motorcade - the Parade of Stars - that began in the Entrance Plaza and travelled along DCA's Performance Corridor. Each segment of the route had a separate ABC affiliate hosting. The celebrities had a microphone and were able to speak briefly as they passed each area.
The weekend events were concluded each night with a performance by stand-up comedian George Lopez and a Blues concert by Jim Belushi and the Sacred Hearts. For more information on the band, visit their official website.
