I still dont understand why they would put brave in the cavalcade and remove her from FoF when they have a whole float dedicated to her in FoF, it's not like they couldnt have added a different character into the cavalcade..

It'd be cool if they let the cast members pick a different costume each time, so there's always a different mix of characters.

By taking her out of FoF you can cut her whole court of Highlands Dancers. There were four pairs, I think (maybe 5).

Just 4 Pairs I believe. Would be nice if those were the only Dancers cut from FOF.............

I'm guessing Phillip and the three fairies are cut too?

You kind of need Phillip. Surely he’s still in?

I guess no one has seen Hoedown yet...............

Don’t expect to see it until FoF opens.

 

[arich35]

Wait, people actually like something that is new?

Is it over the Contact Issue????? Maybe TDO wanted it too early?

I can't imagine MK would Say Today if it was FOF's Date all along......

Nothing to do with that. It just exists only to give fof performers a full day so you most likely won’t see it until then that’s all.

Then someone screwed up with the date. Too bad.

I really love the diversity in characters in this cavalcade. I remember when I was a cast member in 2010, it was next to impossible to find Mulan or Pocahontas in the parks. Mulan met in the China pavilion sometimes, and outside of Fantasmic! Pocahontas would pop up randomly in constantly changing spots in Animal Kingdom for meet and greets. Showcasing princesses outside of Belle, Cinderella, Ariel, and Aurora is such a strong decision, and I love that it's in addition to, as opposed to instead of. That goes for all of the characters here, from Miguel's WDW debut, to other rarer characters. Having more characters in the park is only a win, and gives more guests the opportunity of seeing their favorite. It's nice to see so many wins being added back into the park.

I agree. WDW is surprisingly stingy with the variety of characters it trots out regularly. Like with everything, they seem to pick a few winning franchises and everything else becomes rare. Was particularly happy to see Miguel make an appearance and Pocahontas and Meeko returning.

It was Marie from The Aristocats for me (although Toulouse and Berlioz are missing).

Glad to know Walt Disney World is taking some very slow babysteps to being like Disneyland Paris and Tokyo when it comes to a variety of Disney Characters out in the parks.

Wish they would've put some lightning on the new cavalcade so it could run at night if they arent going to run a nighttime parade for the 50th but sadly that costs money and such a park with very little guests could not afford such a thing.

The very least they couldve done is put some lightning on the new cavalcade so it could run at night if they arent going to run a nighttime parade for the 50th but sadly that costs money and such a park with very little guests could not afford such a thing.

Dont forget blogmickeys last post of “Its Possible” when responding to the question of if, the parade that shall not be named, was still possible for 2022 lol.

Unless they are planning it for the end of the year, wouldn't it see movement by now if they'd want it for the summer?

Yeah I would think so. Not sure how successful they would be at keeping its move quiet. News on MSEPs return to DL has been quiet so far.

Aren't we about due for FOF's Times?????

 

[jrhwdw]

Also, what's up at DHS??? Movie Magic and WWOA canceled both nights this Weekend?
