Epcot parade?

[bhk1101]

Can anyone please tell me if a parade is coming back to Epcot this year? I've heard rumors of a new parade by October?

 

[mkt]

no new parade... sorry.

Anything planned for the future. Tapestry of Dreams was so cool, I can't imagine it wasn't a success.

nothing is planned as of now. And for the record, Tapestry of Dreams (NOT NATIONS) received the lowest ratings of any parade at WDW (except Mulan parade... but that's debatable).

3- Sign life insurance policy and pay your medical insurance

4- Lie down at the bottom of the ramp

PS... this was a joke. Tapestry was more like a Yugo weight wise...lol :lol:

They weren't THAT heavy.. that was just a joke. They were poorly balanced, and certain members of management would tend to ignore high wind warnings and send the parade out in potentially dangerous conditions. Hence, my feelings of vitriol towards that parade

A small gust of wind could injure several of the CM's in that parade.

Yup!

God I miss Tapestry, in either incarnation (Nations more than Dreams though). Epcot just doesnt seem complete about it. Gotta always stick around after Illuminations for the score.

Gotta always stick around after Illuminations for the score.

I thought I was the only one who did that. I love walking around world showcase after illuminations and listen to the whole song play through. I really miss both parades too.

 

[mkepcotmgmak]

when the wind blew, did cms fall over? how embarassing, and painful...

that would be so cool to say you have been in ALL those parades, what are you doing right now in your disney career? i am hoping to do the college program again either this august or next year in january, and i will have to look you up to get on the good side with entertainment... although, i am 6'9"... would they have a place for me? lol

OH WOW... what a great idea! I love the music to that parade! and the pics look amazing... it would fit in with the whole World Showcase theme very well too!

great song too...

"All around the world the sun is shining, the dawning of a brand new day is here...all around the world wer'e getting ready now, to sing a song for everyone to hear......

COME JOIN US.... Music playing, people dancing, children's laughter ringin round the world, hopes are high for a happy tomorrow, hand in hand in harmony...

THAT WOULD BE A GREAT PARADE FOR EPCOT... could you PLEASE do some research and ask around any Epcot cms, or those who know managers over there... lets call eisner, this sounds GREAT!

 

[mkt]

Sorry... not happening. For one, those floats are TOO big to fit in Epcot.

Also... mkepcotmgmak, 6'9 huh... audition during Star Wars Weekends... you're way too tall to do most things @ WDW, but there's 1 role that may have your name all over it
