With all the moving parts, swinging and special effects things are bound to go wrong and break very easily.
I'm glad Steve is there right now making sure everything gets fixed! At least FOF will be at 100% for a couple days until he leaves lol.

I'm curious as to how far in advance people, mostly CMs and APs, will camp out for this on Sunday.. I heard some passes are blocked out.
So far its looking like it will be a gorgeous day weather wise
I suspect some will sit there all day from 9-3. I imagine the best spots on Main Street and the Hub will be gone rather early in the day. I guess it's not a bad thing if you don't mind watching MiSiCi and DAWM (with occasional appearances of the Trolley Show) repeatedly while you wait.
Am I the only one on here that trusts TDO with this parade!!!! TDO can’t be any worse and is probably much better than TDA who is thinking of taking back MSEP or “borrowing” HKDL ‘s new Paint The Night right after it opens for it’s 60th instead of making a new one! Got that from MC’s new update today.
Back to FOF, Just saw a tweet with a video clip that claims he heard FOF from his house but I didn’t hear much if anything.
Here’s the tweet:

Nice find. That's pretty impressive considering those apartments on the opposite side of the park, well away from the parade route. Though there was a little diddy that somewhat reminded me of HIH, you really can't make much out of it. Only 5 days to go.

You're saying TDA is worse than TDO? It's pretty hard to trust TDO when they let Spectro Magic detierate and rot, turned Block Party Bash into the Countdown to Fun parade, continually cut floats and performers from Celebrate a Dream Come True parade, and have a hard time maintaining most other shows and parades. Whereas TDA consistently creates brand new original parades and shows, while constantly keeping them in great running shape and not butchering them and their show elements to death after five months into their run. TDA is thinking about taking back MSEP it's their parade...we're still borrowing it from them. Or borrowing HKDL's night time parade is an alternative. Besides they're looking to borrow/add a nightime parade to their already full nighttime schedule of Fantasmic and fireworks every night in the same park. Geez how dare TDA think about doing that.

You're right it is DL's MSEP and DL getting MSEP back doesn't bother me as much as grabbing HKDL's parade right after it opens. Isn't that unfair to HKDL?, unless I'm missing something. Unless, HKDL and DL billed Paint the Night as a LTM event? As For Spectro, it might be still be alive if DLR moved DEP from DCA to DL instead of DCA to MK. Don't get me wrong, I love MSEP at MK and thought MM&M during Summer 2010 was top notch. I just think MSEP would have helped DL out better as we had Spectro and DL just had a street party on the parade route for two years. Cant speak for Countdown to fun as I've never saw it in person and I kind of agree with this site on that subject. CADCT is gone. I'm not worried about FOF at this time. I would like Sunday to come faster though!

What are folk's thoughts on a fastpass for this parade? We'll be there March 10 and I'm guessing it will be a little crazy. I understand if I only get strong opinions from both sides of the spectrum. I'm trying to decide if I should give up a Peter Pan FF (9:00-10:00 am) for the parade. And yes I know that's an early time but we have the Bibbidi Bobbidi B at 10:15 and I want to be sure we can ride a few rides then go to PP and still make it for our hair by 10:15.

It's not unfair to HKDL bc between spring and summer is the raining season and they have to cancel parades from day to day, so why having a parade just for keeping it in the backstage? it's better to show it at DL, where the sun shines all days!

Weird, Today's the first day, both on here and on MC that I've read about HKDL being so rainy. I've always thought they got their rain like every other park. They do the Waterworks parade every summer and there's always vids of it up on YT, but, maybe that's during their rare dry days?

Can't make anything out of it, but they must really have the volume cranked up to hear it all the way over there! Or is that pretty normal to hear parade and nighttime show audio from those apartments?

You do know that WDW did the same exact thing with MSEP? Disneyland had barely invested money into it for its Summer Nightastic promotion. Then 1 year later WDW takes it for itself. As a lazy effort to pull in more crowds.

It depends on which way the wind is blowing. I've heard DAWM from that area before.

You act as if Disney never cloned an attraction elsewhere. What's the difference between cloning a parade and cloning a ride, which Disney always does.

I don't think they were cloning it though, I think the plan is to ship the entire parade out. Not a second version.

During the time DL would be using the parade, Hong Kong should be experiencing rain and wouldn't be able to run the parade. Still, it's nothing new. The same thing happened with MSEP and even Walt Disney's office that was "temporarily" moved to DHS from Disneyland.

In the very right-hand corner you can see a glimpse of the finale unit. Of all the Jubilation floats, this one is my absolute favorite, and the title banner only adds to it's beauty; simple, but effective. Really thrilled this will be the first thing that guests will see come Sunday.
