What a gross generalization. I was being sarcastic but it is inherently absurd for people to claim they didn't realize Tiana is from a minority group. Disney explicitly marketed her as their first African American princess. I understand that Disney likes money and therefore embraced an untapped market at the time.@novawildcat18 You're right
@ISTCNavigator57 You really don't know anything about Disney & WDW.
WDW is about bringing the world together with all people and ALL cultures. The whole Disney industry is about magic across the globe. The Jungle Book, Alladin and many more movies to show that Disney ain't racist. I do not want to discuss about this '''dumb thing'' happening around here. No one is third-rate in WDW. I am disabled (I can't walk, celebral palsy) but I can FEEL the Magic and be part of the story just like a normal person.
Beautiful it is. Some people, though, need to ruin the magic to fulfill their needs. Just like the DAS, formely GAC-card. Who can wait in the waiting lines, please WAIT. So do I.
I rest my case.

I do agree with you, Disney definitely touted them as being minorities. I just know my first instinct wouldn't be "sure, they stuck the black Princess on the back of the float, how racist", like so many others are probably going to say.
I don't know that it is consciously racist so much as ironic.
No Disney parade has measured up to the Spectro score for me, but from what's been released so far, this score definitely reminds me of it. The underlining melody is very catchy, which is really a key factor for parades. Sometimes the melody gets very repetitive and redundant in parades, and I don't think we'll be feeling that with FOF.Are you describing SpectroMagic?
Agreed. I truly think this will be a spectacular (if long overdue) parade. Glad there is actually some real excitement coming to WDW over the next few months. Not just over-themed bathrooms.
Perhaps they'll have alternate versions available. I know that the roller skating snowflakes in DL's Christmas parade occasionally don't have their snowflakes on windy days (just the white outfits without the backpacks). I would guess that the larger costumes are designed in a similar way
If this is true, then once again I'm impressed that MK will try do FOF with rain. I'm guessing Plan B will be the Rainy Day Cavalcade Plan C, cancel it altogether.

Just took a listen on the YouTube, and whoa, there is quite a resemblance between the two. Granted it's definitely not an exact copy of the Flights of Fantasy show stop, but I wouldn't be surprised if Mark Hammond took some inspiration from it.
