How about reduce it to 0 and replace it with something new along with a 9pm and 11pm parade lol.

 

[Animaniac93-98]

OK, but what time is the 3 'o clock parade?

 

[bmr1591]

Is this because of the amount of Halloween parties in October and the need to staff both while keeping payroll at a similar level?

How about they move it to 1 performance a day and bring back all the original floats and cast

And fix the finale music.

That'll happen when I see an elephant fly.

It’s because most float drivers also have to do rehearsals for Christmas in addition to their daily shifts at FoF, Adventure Friends, and Boo to You. These poor people need some sleep.

I don't know how anyone in entertainment does it, frankly. It's consistent, non-stop, hard work day in and day out.

Magic Happens is also getting cut early this year, they're having no parade from Oct 16th to Nov 9th.

They are thankful to have it. It's feast or famine, and with TDO. Love entertainment is famine far too often.

Just go ride Dumbo and you will!

Great!!! Thanks!!!

I still don't understand why FOF needs to be once a Day in Oct, or why it won't go back to full cast...even without Brave....


It looks like Nov 11-12 are Christmas Taping Days...Did FOF miss a day last year because of it, I don't recall..
