Festival of Fantasy Parade coming to Magic Kingdom in 2014

[NMBC1993]

I think you mean CADCTP (Celebrate with a "C" ) I know Pooh was on the Pinocchio float, and the entire cast (with Christopher Robin) is in the Christmas parade

lol, I was actually thinking of Share a Dream Come True Parade. But you know, they're really one in the same I remember Pooh and friends being towards the end of the parade and Pooh always had a red balloon with him.

Did they move the Anna and Elsa from Epcot to this parade? Looked like it to me.

Unless there's choreography beyond that of what should be expected of a standard character (like Flynn's is intense for this parade), they'll probably use their "media" performers for the big premier.

Could anyone detect bubble coming from the Whale unit/Pinocchio? The float originally had this feature in Jubilation.

For some reason, bubbles are particularly tricky on a float. Bubbles were cut from Uni's Spongebob unit fairly early after their parade opened.

Here is our video of the parade. No edits, so this is an accurate reflection of runtime.

True dat

What are you talking about I love the Christmas parade music!! I thought the floats seemed really really close together. And I'm still laughing about your hating-children-forever comment

I mean, I definitely don't hate the music, it's cute, but it's not as fun as the Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Parade music. And lol, I don't want to be mean. I get that kids have a much lower fear tolerance, but seeing that kid whine about Maleficent made me think, "Grow a pair." Really hoping this doesn't become a widespread issue.

Took me reading Steve's description and seeing his awesome video to realize Rapunzel's hairs is weaved around the entire float!

 

[Big Bad Wolf]

Something like this could work for small world....

Pooh wasn't in CADCT

 

[Stupido]

No, I didn't cry. Not once.

 

[StringBeanDream]

Pooh wasn't in CADCT

He was in SADCT and DDCT though.

After watching the WDWMagic version I'm really enjoying the music. It was so hard to hear in the live feeds.

Sleeping Beauty is my favourite Disney animated feature. To finally see "hero" Phillip (instead of in his fashion accessory mode with stupid looking hat) and the great climax represented like this with a fire breathing dragon float and raven/thorn performers is fantastic!

It's always interesting to me how people people can feel so differently about the same thing. I found Festival of Fantasy to have incredibly catchy music, and I'm not really a big fan of the Once Upon a Christmastime music. My main critique is that the parade seems a little short, but they pack in so much into those 15 minutes that I can let it slide.

Also, there's already a video on Youtube of kid who was scared of the Maleficent float. I swear, if this becomes big enough of a problem that the float is cut, I might just hate children forever.

Oh jeeze, really? You know, I was positivity terrified of Haunted Mansion the first time I went on it in 1985 when I was 3, but guess what? I got over it. I'm pretty I have vague memories of my parents stifling laughter as I expressed my terror in general about that stretchy room.
That float better be there in July.

Pooh gets enough traction, he's everywhere at WDW. No biggie that Pooh is skipped in this parade, and small world was never in the running - there are no characters in small world (at least not in WDW).

 

[Disneydreamer23]

The parade Is alot cuter than I thought It was going to be after looking at he costumes they had I was a bit scared but honesty the dragon was a little freaky haha but loved every thing else.

 

[asianway]

He was in SADCT and DDCT though.

I do remember the mad dash to get the characters out of LTT when Spectro was starting. I'm guessing that's part of the reason

 

[ImagineerDude]

Pooh wasn't in CADCT

Oh yeah it was Dopey and Snow and the Prince. I was thinking Snow White with Pooh on the other side.

 

[Big Bad Wolf]

The roller coaster and carousel on the back of the whale could represent Small World. Now add Pooh and friends!

 

[ImagineerDude]

Pooh meets by his own RIDE in Magic Kingdom, he is at 1900 Park Fare (I believe for breakfast) and Crystal Palace, and he has M & Gs in EPCOT and AK. We get plenty of Pooh without the addition of him in this parade.
