I'm confused by the constant acronym-ing, what's POD?

Isn't Florida a Right to Work state (ie employers/unions can't require union membership)? I don't fully understand why the union has so much pull if they don't even represent all the performers (though I know they do control some things, like removing the lift from Snow White's choreography in Fantasmic!)

I don't think Disney wants to get a reputation of playing too hard with unions, especially performance based ones, as they have to deal with a lot of them.

A lift would probably be enough to qualify the position as equity. Can't afford to pay an extra $2 an hour you know

Wait, THAT's why DHS Fantasmic doesn't have the prince lift Snow White? This kind of worries me about what the choreography will look like then.

I'm actually more concerned about our society as a whole, but sure.

Oops, I forgot that this thread was about concern for our society.
Lol, I mean, when you put it that way, none of us should even be bothering with this forum.

This is page 103 of a remarkably on topic thread. Someone had to throw it out there

So i came across some decent video footage of some of the floats recently rolling along one of the perimeter roads backstage....and i have to say that the Maleficent Dragon is absolutely STUNNING from every angle.
It is painted with this fabulous iridescent paint that shifts from purple,to blue, to coppery black so as it rolls down the street it does color shifts. A nice touch!
The mechanical/steampunk design elements really bring this float design above the others in my opinion.
Absolutely loving the interior gears seen in the center of the float, and the small details present.
This thing is a absolute BEAST...but moves about as if lighter then air.
Just awesome in every possible definition of the word.
Every time i look at it, my fondness for it grows even more and i am already so highly impressed with it.
The other floats cannot hold a candle to this masterpiece.
Probably THE best float i have seen in a long time at WDW...very possible my all time favorite to date.
Just loving this thing on so many levels.
So looking forward to seeing this baby in action.
Epicness deluxe is to come!

Let me also say that honestly I am much more excited about festival of fantasy than I am about the seven dwarfs mine train! So far it looks absolutely mind blowing!

I just don't like that chin they put on her. The original Maleficent is so beautiful , but in the parks.....ehhhh...*dreams*
No doubt the new film will mean this gorgeous creation won't be back in a long time

Lot more than 2. And a LOT more complicated than just that.

If you're at liberty to discuss some of the complications, I for one would be interested in reading. It might clear up a few misconceptions in this thread and, perhaps, ultimately lead to a greater appreciation of what goes into a parade or other event like this.

Got a copy of the "1997 settlement agreement" perchance? I'd love to read it

Part 2:
Someday, at some point in my life, I'm going to stop trying to crawl through the monitor and into that video, or really, ANY video I see of Tokyo's parades. Or HKDL. Or even DLP.
Someday. No promises.
