I was there yesterday during the parade/deluge. Those performers were quite the troopers to keep on going the way they did. I was watching in Liberty Square so I had no idea what had happened to the last two floats.

I feel bad, but also cant help but giggle a bit for the performers... My favorite pic is the one with Lady Tremaine and Mice running for cover, with Lady Tremaine staying in character...

Excerpt-

It was a deluge by the time the Fairy Godmother and three royal couples arrived. Fairy Godmother seemed flustered -- and who could blame her? Her hood was being blown off by the gusty wind, and she was forced to literally hold on to her hair. Thankfully, her platform was lowered to bring her closer to earth.

Sounds like a real fun day in the Magic Kingdom.

Got to give it up for the entertainment cast and the cast doing PAC as there stuck out there too.

If I were a performer, I think I might actually like performing in the rain! Maybe not THAT much rain, but i've always found that marching band is just more fun in inclement weather.

Alice and the Mad Hatter even had a little horseplay as she was too short to effectively hold an umbrella over his gigantic hat.

:lol: That would be cool to see the rest of the park lit up in the rain. I remember going to Epcot in a downpour, hiding under the Odyssey pavilion, then running out in the rain just to get wet.

:lol: Feel really bad for all the actors though> For some reason when I see Eric lowering Ariel down into the float I see him jumping in before her.

Hysterical article...That stinks for the parade performers, though.

This type of weather can be very unsafe to send a parade out in to. Characters should never be exposed to possible lightning and thunder storms.

Looks like the storm didn't show up until the parade was already running. Now I do remember that I didn't get a weather warning on my mobile 'til it was raining.

But for some weird reason can get Epcot 25th out of my head.

Yeah, but managers also monitor the weather before parade to see if anything might be coming in.
