Big changes coming to Boo To You Parade And other MNSSHP changes

[Cmdr_Crimson]

The first Descendants kinda sucked, so I was shocked they made a second. But replacing actual, real, popular Disney villains in the parks with them..... that's blasphemy!

Even if they started throwing Once upon a time face characters..I would care even less..I hate that show..

I believe I recall @lentesta saying on the old WDW today podcast one time that the BTY parade was the highest rated attraction period at all of WDW. Can anyone corroborate this?

I suppose we'll know in a couple months!

Actuallly we should know in a few weeks- the Halloween Parties start in 3-3.5 weeks (later THIS month)...WOW that's early!!!

Checkout the Disneyland MNSSHP parade and then tell me how unacceptable it is.

Disneyland's NEW parade is small but mighty- I got to see it last year. I must say, quality wise, it was far better than Boo To You (which in itself is an awesome parade). It could be the whole feel of Disneyland at Halloween during the parties is far more involved than WDW, but the quality of floats is amazing.

Here are the specifics we have on it:

1,066 surveys for it over the past couple of years, from all age groups. The overall rating for it is ~4.5, putting it at #13 out of the 97 things we survey on at the Magic Kingdom.

The only attractions rated higher overall are Meet Mickey Mouse at Town Square Theater (4.6 / #7) and Splash Mountain (4.5 / #9). Everything else is some variation on a parade or fireworks.

Well at least there's always DL and the other Disney Parks Halloween events.

DL finally added half a parade last year. But still no stage show.

I'm insanely jealous that you got to meet him.

Perhaps I shouldn't mention Chris Sarandon (Jack) was also there, then?!

Ken was a really nice guy. Chris, not so much.

I have an idea! They can grow balls!

If only they still keep some variety with some animated shows like they used to in the early to mid 2000's.

The first Descendants kinda sucked, so I was shocked they made a second. But replacing actual, real, popular Disney villains in the parks with them..... that's blasphemy! We've been waiting years for a Chernabog meet and greet. Build Bald Mountain! Or, maybe we'll just make a Chernabog costume and see how long before we get kicked out....

I still remember how many people were mixed or upset that they used the Angelina Jolie Maleficent for Villains Unleashed and Club Villain. Maybe they might use the well-known version of her in the next one.

So... in summary, these rumors haven't been confirmed. We won't have to wait very long with parties starting this month, but it remains to be seen what exactly has been changed as I haven't seen any others confirming this report.

The Jolie version is not what's at club villain

The only good thing of Ounce Upon A Time is that at least it boosted more exposure to Ginnifer Goodwin (Who I will only remember as Judy Hopps) who did a great vocal performance in Zootopia.

I love the Nightmare Before Christmas floats.

That's strange, I thought the Jolie version was there if I seen older video footage. I think my memory is a bit mixed up with the 2014 Live-Action film because of how much they changed her and the original film that inspired it.

Am I the only one, who prior to this thread, had never heard of The Descendants or its sequel?

You were very wise to never know...But, now you do and I'm very sorry..

We have a 13 year old daughter who loves it, that's the only reason why I know!

Early is shopping for school supplies yesterday and there's a section of Halloween candy and decor out already. That's early.

 

[JustInTime]

If they remove the villains we just won't go this year. We were debating if we should go or not anyway.

That would be worth the villagers grabbing their pitchforks over.

Someone give me a pitchfork!
