DLP parade to be sold to WDW !!!???

[MichWolv]

This may sound like a daft question and I apologise if it is, but how would one company (disney) sell a parade to itself?

Disney is very much into cost centers and separate budgets for lots and lots of departments, and bills itself for almost everything.

In this case, it's more than that. DLP is actually a separate company owned partially by Disney and partially by others. From Disney's annual report

The Company has a 51% effective ownership interest in the Disneyland Resort Paris, which is a 4,800-acre
development located in Marne-la-Vallée, approximately 20 miles east of Paris, France being developed pursuant to a
1987 master agreement with the French governmental authorities. Euro Disney S.C.A., a publicly-traded French entity
in which the Company holds a 40% interest, and its subsidiaries operate the Disneyland Resort Paris

So a transfer of assets between Disney and DLP corporate entities has be done via some kind of sale, or the non-Disney owners of DLP would be treated unfairly.

Do you know when this will take place? We have been to DLP for the last 4 years and are going to WDW next year, would love to see a different Parade in Florida:hammer:. I understand it would be cost effective but I really want to see something unique in each park throughout the world. I hope it doesn't arrive for a while

^^^ If it did happen, I don't see it happening that quickly- depends on when next year you're talking about though

What about the Parade of Dreams from Disneyland coming to WDW?
That was the most recent parade rumor I remember. Did they change thier mind about which parade they wanted?

PoD going to WDW has been postponed for now, and possibly scratched entirely

Our parts department loves to remind everyone else how they make the most money for the company.
I'm in engineering, so I only cost the company money.

Right next to marketing who would spend the next bundle. :ROFLOL:

I new it was postponed, but didn't know it was possibly scratched.
