50th mentions are gone from FOF's Grand Marshall and Intro.

First Float still gone.........Is MK completely re doing it or something???

 

[EricsBiscuit]

Not only was the first float gone today but IIRC the Fantasia one too.

For those wondering their just using the gazebo float for the opening. No parade name or anything on it. Looks horrible. It would’ve looked better with the opening dancers, but, ya know lol.

What a sorry state of affairs for a once great parade.

Major mechanical issues with both the lead Princess float and Bubbles (circus) float.

Major mechanical issues with both the lead Princess float and Bubbles (circus) float.

Funny, two floats originally from Tokyo.

So that means both are in the shop for repairs.

Well this parade celebrates failure to maintain floats now I guess. How embarrassing

Was there last week and that intro float gazebo is just sad

 

[WorldExplorer]

Is it always Anna and Elsa missing ? I'm curious how they decided who gets the shaft (not that I don't 100% agree with the decision...).

And unfortunately, some of the parts that these floats were built with in Tokyo are no longer manufactured so when major issues arise, the fixes aren’t as easy or simple as you’d think. Eventually it may not be possible.

That gazebo float is the new castle float.

This does not look good....

And also hearing the Tangled Unit was missing for the 3pm performance.

 

[TDLFan]

That gazebo float is at least 30 years old. Unbelievable.

It was stripped and rebuilt a year or two ago.

Also having electrical issues. Parade would be in much better shape if park management would only run it once a day, but instead they choose to run it into the ground.

Exactly as it was supposed to be, pre-COIVD. Only exception would be the week before Easter and on July 3-4.
I'll add in that there we a few exceptions to that too, e.g. during a week in both February and March 2015, it played twice per day likely due to crowds.
