The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
The Macy's Christmas parade is actually called the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade because it's held each year on Thanksgiving day morning (9:00 am - noon). The parade kicks off the start of the holiday shopping season, but is named for the day on which it is held (the first parades were called the Macy's Christmas Parade).
Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade debuted on Thanksgiving day in 1924, as the Macy's Christmas Parade. The celebration was designed to kick off the holiday shopping season, which traditionally begins the day after Thanksgiving (now called Black Friday).
The Macy's Day Parade begins at 9:00 AM EST and lasts three hours. If you want to watch the parade in real time on Thanksgiving morning go to CBS, not NBC, because CBS has unauthorized coverage to broadcast the parade live. Your local TV listings will show "The Thanksgiving Day Parade on CBS-LIVE" according to your time zone. So, if you live in, say, Mountain Time Zone (2 hr time difference) and you don't want to watch NBC "delayed broadcast" at 9am (all time zones) plan to get up early and tune into CBS to enjoy The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Happy Thanksgiving!
Early on the day before the parade. 6:30am-7am is a good time to get there.

In the 1920s many of Macy's department store employees were immigrants. They wanted to celebrate Thanksgiving with a festival that was commonly performed in Europe. In 1924, the "Macy's Thanksgiving Day Christmas Parade" was put on by the store. Employees and professional entertainers all wore costumes and did performances. They had floats, professional bands and animals from the Central Park Zoo. It ended up that a quarter of a million people showed up to watch and so they decided to make it an annual event.

The best place someone can find an old Christmas parade show to watch online is on YouTube. Someone can also go to the websites for the specific parade, for example The Disney Christmas Parade website.
At Thanksgiving there are plenty of different activities to do in Disney World. These include seeing the American Adventure which takes you through the history of how America was founded. You can find plenty of places that will serve traditional Thanksgiving foods either in a restaurant or a take away. If you want something less traditional there will always be a parade to watch and at this time of year the guest of honor will be a turkey.
