I agree. I guess if it was the first time for somebody ever seeing those floats, it would be a nice little diversion of a parade. Like the current MK parade, would not be worth waiting for it to come by though, which has been a disheartening trend with the parades recently. Overall, I agree it's is very sad revision of BPB. I can understand the need to get rid of the acrobats and vigorous show stops, particularly over the summer, but I was expecting a bit more from this revision. At least different costumes or props. Even the addition of some of the things from the PPP at DCA like the chef stilt walkers or even Mater and Lightening Mcqueen at the beginning and end could help a little. Also, more characters or dancers would help. For instance, where's Remy's brother or some of the other characters from Toy Story that I know have been around before as walk around characters. A little more thought here and it could be a bit better.
Oh well. I liked BPB, but never really went out of my way to see it. Same with this thing. Still better than Disney stars and motor cars parade, imo (never could get into that one).
Any chance at all that this is a filler parade? I'm still sort of crossing my fingers for some new parades for the around the 40th (heck, I can't believe there won't be some type of celebration, particularly given all the nice new merchandise for it)
