Disney Sports announced today that they have finalized the lineup for the 2012 Walt Disney World Pro Soccer Classic, to take place between February 24 and March 3.
Of interest to fans from this side of the border is that all three Canadian MLS sides have confirmed their participation in the event, meaning it could be the first meeting between the teams since Montreal made the jump to the top tier.

Toronto FC, who had announced their plans to take part in the tourney last month, will be making their third trip to the Magic Kingdom. The games will take on extra meaning for TFC as they will likely be the club's final preparation before hosting MLS Cup champs LA Galaxy in the first leg of the CONCACAF Champions Leg quarterfinal round on March 7.
Vancouver and Montreal will be making their first appearances at the Orlando tournament, which will see an expanded field that also includes Orlando City SC of the USL Pro league, Swedish side Hacken BK, and fellow MLS clubs Houston Dynamo, Sporting Kansas City and FC Dallas.
3:03pm EST Update
