Is anyone else hearing March 9 (which is Dapper Day, incidentally) as a date for the first performance?

It's not impossible.
The earliest date on here has been March 12. March 9 would be very intresting! That's a month from today! I w1sh WDW would put FOF on their calendars already!
How early is not impossible?

But the question is if the 9th is soft opening when is the other previews like CM, Media, etc? Before the 9th?
How behind schedule are they??????
No, each new parade was just that.
It's been so long since it happened maybe you forgot.
As an aside, I noticed the Dragon's on wheels. I guess that's where some of the cuts went.

More info! From: http://www.themainstreetmouse.com/2...n-on-the-festival-of-fantasy-parade-costumes/
"Last week, we showed you two of the new costumes that were being previewed for the upcoming Festival of Fantasy Parade. Well, now, we have a little more information regarding each costume and the parade, thanks to our on the scene reporter, Dianna! Dianna was at the Magic Kingdom yesterday, and spoke to two Cast Members about the preview, and here’s what she found out:
Members had speculated that this costume had something to do with candy or treats, but that’s not the case. This costume is actually a seashell lady, and she will go along with the Ariel Float! The source also said that these beautiful costumes are so elaborate, that most CM’s are afraid to touch them! Wow!
Alright, now to the bird costume that people were wondering about. The blue bird, is actually black! His wings open to a 10ft span and he is more mechanical than it appears in the picture. The black bird will be paired with the Maleficent float! I know a few of you guessed that, and you were right!
Another little piece of info she got from the Cast Members is that all the floats have hidden mickeys on them. The Maleficent float has 5 but one can never been see since you have to be on the float to see it. Pretty cool, right? Thanks to our TMSM Reporter Dianna for chatting it up with some CM’s yesterday to get us the inside scoop! More info to follow as we hear, I was told that more sketches would be released this week.
The Festival of Fantasy Parade is set to debut in March!"

So from that, I gathered that there are multiple seashell costumes, but only one raven costume (which I assume is to represent Diablo). Can't wait to see what Monday has in store with the rest of the costumes.

Have to bump this what PKD posted about the route lighting package. Don't think he/she has been online in awhile but can anyone else confirm Yes its happening or No its not? Someone recently told me who is friends with a technician that lighting Has already been installed along the route? Yet if it was true I would assume someone would have been All Over it and posted pics??

This section used to be Ariel and Eric. Where Elsa is standing, Ariel would sit on the edge of the cliff (mermaid form) and Eric stood next to her. I must say that they cleverly refitted that section and I love that Tangled and Frozen, the heralds of this Revival Era, have a float together.
Do you think they'll return to an era of updating night time shows with some regularity? I wonder how many people don't know that Wishes and RoE aren't permanent shows that have been around since the opening of the parks.

Apparently Steve Davison is also working on a new nighttime show to replace Wishes, however, there's no real timing for the project. Considering how Wishes is still a very popular show, probably won't be for awhile.
