I don’t think anyone hates it, some just hate the fact that it could be so much better in places. Hopefully it’ll be improved overtime, but to me, this doesn’t feel yet anyways like one of those MSEP or Spectro classics that lives in our minds forever
Had to work quite hard on the photos to make them visible. There is also a factor of where on the parade route you view from. In some areas, there is some ambient light from the parade light towers. So really it is just a very variable situation.
It looks like the twinkling lights in the upper parts of their costumes are what illuminates their faces. So it's inconsistent and relies on the position of their head as well as those particular upper lights activating. That's why still photos show them lit up while others don't. At least that's what it looks like to me.
Once out-of-control children equipped with these run out into the parade route between floats, we won’t need any more street performers!Disney Starlight color-changing light-up wand which interacts with the parade
That was one of my questions. I was unable to tell if they were mouthing the words or actually talking due to the distance away from the camera.
Criticizing obvious flaws is not "hating" it.
Who hates it? Only thing like this I’ve hated was Move it shake it. Haha
That’s been a thing for years now.
So do you think that it is perfect as is? If not are there things you would change? Anything you would improve? Anything you would add or delete?
Well, I guess hate isn't the right word. Wasn't really referring to anyone specific just general online sentiment, not only on these boards. Maybe not hate, I guess just the heavy criticism? I'm not sure how to describe it.
I literally put in that post "it's not perfect by any means" lol. And yes I would add more ground performers with more lights on the costumes and a couple of smaller floats to along with them.
This.
Unfortunately, this seems like another case where the easiest improvements are actually pretty cheap (relatively). They, once again, spend a fortune on large components but skimp on the smaller parts. Repurposed Spectroballs and 15-20 more street performers would go a long way here. But, once again, capex was approved but ops wants to skimp.
I know I'm dropping a bomb with this, and I'll speak only for my impressions as someone who's been around here for a few decades. There is a very vocal group on this board with a lot of time on their hands who feel the need to find something negative to say about absolutely everything Disney does. That portion of the community seems incapable of any kind of positive thought about Disney and sometimes almost reach a level that could be described as vitriol, especially when they try to aim it at named Disney employees. When those members have nothing but negative (and sometimes aggressively negative) views all the time it reads to many as hating.
I don’t hate it. But it would be fake to not recognize its many short-comings as well. Complacency from the consumer drives complacency by TWDC. We should be speaking up if we want it to be better. The reason we still run a tired and busted Halloween parade is because the consumer is complacent and buys the Halloween tickets regardless of what is offered. If we don’t take a stand then we are the problem.
Absolutely and I think we all know who among us complain about everything.
Don’t touch BtY! We will end up with a 12-minute parade with no villains!
Tokyo/OLC and occasionally Paris proves that Disney is still capable of making high quality shows and parades. Tokyo is the only Disney Park that still makes actual anniversary parades instead of cavalcades.
