Remember when Walt Disney World used to have an actual Easter Parade (not a pre-parade/cavalcade) that used to have an annual airing on television similar to Walt Disney World's Christmas Day Parade?

Yeah, people used to go to church on Sunday too but now not so many

Candlelight was never going away. Anyone who thought that was crazy. Primarily because it’s easily monetized and sells lots of dining packages. Secondarily, even some of the “woke” celebrities that people love to hold up love the tradition and love to return year after year to narrate (NPH, Whoopi, etc.). It’s a beautiful way to spend an hour, and I have plenty of non-religious (and even non-Christian) friends who enjoy the lives orchestra and chorale of singers.

Plenty of non-Christians love Christmas.

I don’t go to church and haven’t for years but “O Holy Night” makes my heart swell. Beautiful, uplifting music is beautiful and uplifting even if you don’t believe all the lyrics.

I also don’t believe Bieber experiences the emotional depth of the songs written for him. Still like the music.

I think Christmas has essentially become a secular holiday.

Of course it's still a religious holiday too, but there are huge numbers of non-Christians (and Christians in name only that don't attend church etc.) who celebrate it.

Unless I am mistaken, isn’t Easter similarly popular in some Asian countries? Just gotta focus on bunnies and flowers and not the bloody part.

I think there are plenty of non-Christians who celebrate Easter in the US too. Definitely not at the level of Christmas, but people like doing Easter baskets and Easter egg hunts.

It's also more focused on the season of Spring. Similar to Halloween being more focused in the season of Fall and the Harvest Season in some countries like France.

Do any insiders know why the Whale Floats hasn't been in the second FOF since it returned??? Return/Reopening Day, I figured it was weather related but yesterday and today looks perfect weather wise........MK only found a Driver for the first FOF??? I don't think we're lacking Characters for the second FOF(Weather Permitting of course)just the Whale Floats....

Please no Jokes! I'm generally curious. It's an interesting choice for MK.......

It broke down the other day on the parade route

Yea, on Friday at the 2:30 parade, the Whale float broke down as soon as it came out then the audio from the float also cut out abruptly. Once the tow pulled it down the parade route, the float's speakers weren't working for the entire trip.
