The only Subtractions I see are No Flying, 50th Flags instead of Lighted Waves, No Butterfly Marchers recently. Too bad MK didn't keep the Butterfly and Dragonfly costumes from Spectro for Encanto!

I never said that Starlight is 100% Perfect but This looks much better than just a 8pm HEA!

Fair enough, it’s just a shame that we are once again settling for less than Disney has promised and delivered in the past. This had so much potential with modern tech and new characters to highlight. I’ll accept the fact that times have changed and a shorter parade was warranted. I just hoped that they would properly fund and outfit what we did get and that doesn’t seem to be the case.

Boo To You is proof that Disney can still do it when they want to (and when a hard ticketed event justifies it). It’s a bit tired but still the amount of characters and performers blows away Starlight. It’s not even close for me.

Same with MOUACT in 10 Days.......Believe me, I get it! I'm sad every Jan 1st when Post 50th FOF returns after Christmas Week when MK shows what they are known for!

As for Starlight, we talked about early on that we don't know (maybe we'll never know) what was the original Cast Numbers for Starlight.

While Flying might be out of TDO's Control(just guessing here). Would be nice to know what happened to the Lighted Waves and the Butterfly Marchers.......Seems like Odd Subtractions....

Did Guests not enjoy those???....

Josh probably - "Jeff - why does this look so bad? Where's the cast and where are the other floats?"

"Well Josh, we were gonna have other floats and more cast but we decided our bonuses and stock buybacks needed to be larger and I really couldn't risk only making 2% less this year"

Josh most definitely - "Makes sense - good job."

You missed the conversation about the new dessert party where, for $149, children age 3-9 get a cupcake and light up vest and are invited to dance in the street between floats to raise GSATs.

I guess if Josh really was reviewing the parade and found things he didn’t like, eventually some insiders will get wind of it.
