First look: Phineas and Ferb characters at Disneyland

Phineas and Ferb may not have any idea what they’re doing for summer vacation, but they know how they’re spending their Christmas break: “We’re going to Disneyland.”

The perpetually bored stepbrothers from the Disney Channel’s “Phineas and Ferb” animated show turned up as costumed characters at Disneyland this week for a taping of the Walt Disney World Christmas Day Parade, which airs Dec. 25 on ABC.

It was the first time that the costumed characters have appeared in a Disney theme park, officials said.

No word yet on whether Candace the snoopy sister or Perry the pet platypus will be making an appearance in the park any time soon.

Hosted by “American Idol’s” Ryan Seacrest, the pre-taped parade will feature performances of “That’s What Christmas Means to Me” by Stevie Wonder and “Wonderful Christmas Time” by Demi Lovato from Disneyland.
