I've been hearing that the POD will come to WDW after it completes its run at DL late this year.

I didn't see it posted here so I thought I might share.

No it's not!!
I love POD. I don't want it to leave!!
But isn't this too soon? DL is supposed to get a new parade for their 55th. I could see it leaving for WDW next year, but not this year... :shrug:

I could definitely see this happening. With Block Party Bash moving from DCA to DHS in the spring, it wouldn't surprise me to see Disneyland's parade head off to the Magic Kingdom. While I love the music of the Disney Dreams Come True parade, the floats used are extremely stale and old.

Actually, if they aren't going to do the show stops, don't bother bringing it here. Those are what make the parade awesome!

I agree, but for a different reason. I love POD too (especially the show stops) and watch it every time I'm at DL. But I'm disappointed that WDW is getting into the habit of recycling old DL parades. I'd like to see something NEW at MK.

Why wouldn't they do the show stops?
And I agree. The show stops are the best part.

Cause for some reason, WDW stopped doing show stops. :fork:
They are separate entities that are held by The Walt Disney Company. So yes, some transer fees must be paid.

Ah.
Well, they should.
The show stop is a must for this parade.
Are they going to change some of the floats? The last one is Sleeping Beauty Castle. And the opening float is modeled after DL's train station.

Not quite. Each resort is run as a seperate, indipendent buisness unit within the company. Each is responsible for its own expenses. Thus, Disneyland's entertainment department paid out of its own budget for the construction and rights for the Parade of Dreams. Therefore (assuming this is true), WDW's entertainment department would have to pay Disneyland's in order to get the parade.
If this is true, I'm all for it. While the changeover to Disney Dreams Come True was a nice refresh for the MK parade, a new (to us) parade would be even better. I would have preferred an entirely new parade, though. Also, there will probably need to be a few modifications to PoD, such as changing the train station on the first float to WDW's (or constructing a new opening float), and they'll probably remove the "To all who come to this happy place...welcome" from the showstop.

Dunno! But yah, PoD is definitely a Disneyland parade, somethings would have to change about it.

That's another thing that should be removed.
The last float has the Disneyland D on it:
