Saw this on MousePlanet. Remember seeing it mentioned here previously but does anyone know anymore? Apparantly the changes could be in place by July. http://www.mouseplanet.com/articles.php?art=wd060515mg

Parade changes confirmed
Last week in our Walt Disney World Park Update, we reported that the Share a Dream Come True parade was going to see some changes, including the removal of the "snow globes" on the floats. We've now been able to confirm that the globes will be removed and the top parts of each float will be redesigned. As an example, the Mickey Mouse float will remain the same from the platform down, but new mouse-ear decor will replace the top half (yes, Mickey himself will still be there).
The venerable castle float will go back into storage until it's needed again. In its place, the original pricness floats will return, but no longer as one long, three-part float. Each section will be a separate float with an independent drive system, which will hopefully avoid a repeat of the tragic accident that took the life of cast member Javier Cruz in 2004 (link).
Reportedly, there will be new music and new choreography, as well as a new name for the parade, which may debut as early as July.
