They wouldn’t just randomly put them on the schedule with no announcement…you’ll know when/if they’re coming back otherwise.

The Newsies and Pixar orchestra shows at DCA were closed pre pandemic so those offerings haven’t returned purely for that reason. Nothing pandemic related.

Nope.

That’s literally what they’re doing. Some characters on flotillas and some doing meet and greets.

They still see a demand and want for Flotilla’s and sightings, so no. Guests enjoy being able to see the characters in the park without waiting in long lines.

Most indoor meet and greets have either reopened with the boxes or switched to them at this point.

That’s an addition by subtraction. Float was very problematic, lots of issues and don’t have enough drivers still to staff it.

They’re paying the higher level driver to drive gazebo and the spotters are still there every day so it’s not cost cutting.

And are older, exposed to harsher conditions, have a longer parade route, a longer way to travel backstage post parade to storage, etc.

Yes there is. But if you pull floats out and a storm cell unexpectedly arrives, they will get wet.

If the floats that are regularly receiving maintenance work aren’t working, chances are the float that’s been sitting dormant for three years definitely isn’t going to work for two parades a day.

Frozen branding is very particular about the context the sisters are seen, they usually have to be kept separate from characters outside of their storyline. So they can’t be on the gazebo with everyone else.

50th cavalcade closes after tomorrow so the streets will be a little quieter, the Friendship Faire will continue on with the new song.

If you do a parade at 9, HEA at 10, and then parade again at 11, it naturally helps the crowd flow honestly. Parade first keeps the entire hub and Main Streer from gridlocking and filling up for firework viewing because they have to keep the parade route clear. Then by the time the parade...

The floats regularly get maintenance and work done to them most days, so it’s not uncommon for elements to be replaced after some wear and tear and usage.

They care about having a parade in the park, which they do have.

Issues with the Princess garden float. The green was part of the overall redesign of the float upon the parade’s return and has already been replaced multiple times. Believe it or not, parades are a high priority for the Magic Kingdom. There’s a reason FoF still runs twice a day a year after...

Does this mean the path is open to the general public today?

They are putting out the characters they want to put out. Only thing holding them back is the amount of money they feel like spending on the costumes they wish to purchase and maintain for their daily ops lineup.

Just because a costume is designed for a character does not mean the parks literally have them all sitting backstage at their disposal in working order.
