I have no first hand knowledge but for everyone worrying about the choreography with the costumes let me say with professional dancers there is a ton that can get done. My son is lucky enough to get to be taught by and interact with a ton of professional dancers that do amazing things even when in things that I couldn't breathe in, much less walk or dance. I swear it's like their bodies are from different planets.
Just Looked at MK’s March Calendar on the official site, they must of just updated it this morning, and I saw no changes!!! It’s the same schedule that’s been in place since CADCT’s been gone. I was hoping that when the March update would come out, we would get some clues about FOF. But, it’s more of the same! Should we be worried about this? Or is MK going to fit FOF into their current schedule? I don’t see where, but maybe I’m missing it. To our wonderful insiders, does FOF have a date and time yet, If yes, any guess on when it will be made public? Putting it on the calendars before the blog counts for me! If no, Good Grief!!
WELL! LOL!Having a minor meltdown are we? Take a breath and remain calm. The parade is debuting next month, that's been common knowledge since last year. It seems we've been getting weekly updates the last few weeks, so I'm guessing we'll hear something about the opening date soon.
I just figured that the schedule would be different when the march update came out. After I posted that I thought it could have been an automatic release of Park hours since that's the schedule we're currently in. I don't live in FL so Idont know how these things work.
As far as I know the main PA in the hub is still the "temporary" one. From last fall.

Well, we all know what "temporary" equals in Disney years. I give it at least a decade.

We are going down March 5th through the 8th. We are just going to miss the debut of this parade (of course). I have to admit that typically parades are the lowest on my list of must-sees at WDW. This parade, however, looks to be a total knock-it-out-of-the-park type of event. Our late winter mini-trip is just a prelude to a mega 2 week trip we will be taking in July so we will have to catch it then (as well as the 7DMT!!).
Here's hoping this type of dedication to craft continues at WDW.

The parade does pass right by the Pirates show building backstage.

I was wondering this too when I saw how large the floats were and Mickey/Minnie hot air balloon, because the last time the had these type of balloons was the 1991, 20th anniversary and the had to run that parade from Frontierland to Main Street because of the large balloons

No. MK only did that for Media/Christmas Day Parade. It ran from TS to splash, I should know, I was there twice in Surprise Celebration's lifetime.
