I would urge everyone to watch this vid from yesterday. It's pure joy to watch:

Vid from Aug 10th:



Doesn't look good weather wise at the end but they got it in and, I thought they didn't do the fire in the wind???

I saw it for the first time today - AMAZING is all I can say. Anna and Elsa and the girl from Brave by far were my favorites - the girl from Brave hit every mark she was electric.

I guess if it's a safe distance from trees or buildings, like in the hub, they give it the go ahead. Also, nice to see that the original wings have returned to the raven dancers. Still hoping they would add something to mermaid unit. I've seen videos where it will be missing just one dancer, and with so little to it already, it takes a chunk of spunk out of that section. Otherwise, still obsessed with this parade.

I know it's not official, but I'm pretty sure someone uploaded either their rehearsal track or a 1st draft of the parade music on YouTube:


All studio recording, no traces of it being recorded from along the route.

^ one of the later demo versions mixed with what's been officially released in promos. Close to the real thing but not quite.

Still, probably the best yet in public circulation.

Not studio recoding, it's actually all keyboard and notation software. Demo tracks given out to cast for rehearsal purposes. Best in public circulation.

Great music has been released on You Tube:

So what happened to the rumor of Festival of Fantasy doing evening performances as well and MSEP going away?

Personally I rather have a parade like Paint The Night in replace of MSEP! But I know DL is next in line.

I saw it last week, but both the Fantasia/Pinocchio float and the swan court dancers were missing. That and Mickey and Minnie were in their regular park outfits at the end. Does rain affect the line-up? It rained at 2:30pm.

And before anyone makes a comment on TDO or something else, when I saw Soundsational in DL a float was missing their too, so maybe it's just me.

Rain plays a HUGE factor. The Swan Court costumes cannot get rained on, or they will be ruined. The Fantasia/Pinocchio floats may not have made it out on time, or another reason beyond my knowledge. Mickey and Minnie are in their regular costumes whenever it rains.

I hope fof runs at night too!

At least you didn't get stuck with the "Rainy Day Cavalcade". That happened TWICE to me one day this summer while waiting to see Festival of Fantasy for the first time. Talk about a huge letdown

note to self, dont stand in the rain and expect to see the normal parade... CHECK

 

[jrh1985]

It rained about 45 minutes before show time, so I wasn't standing in the rain. I didn't expect to see the RDC though

Did it stop raining that that early before FOF? That would be a odd reason to chose RDC. Would love to learn about their weather secrets! I've seen YT Videos of the Swan court just walking FOF when the sun was out. Were they rushing FOF? I've seen CADCT delayed, then run with no rush in between storms with my own eyes. and CADCT on MS from Splash before 3 on YT.

The only reason to have characters and performers abandon choreography and walk the route is a weather threat. The parade may have started out normally, but ended up needing to be rushed due to an approaching storm. It takes about 40 minutes for the parade to get through the entire route, and 3pm is already prime storm time in central Florida. Mid afternoon storms are extremely common. There are actually several videos on YouTube of Main Street cast members giving the signal to parade performers to "rush" the parade. And, this probably happens especially with FOF because it has certain elements that absolutely cannot get wet, or they'll be ruined otherwise.

Has anyone seen the dragon breathe fire recently? Cos by vids uploaded in the last week the neck doesn't seem to be moving. Everything else works but the neck doesn't raise so i can't breathe fire.

Everything else works but the neck doesn't raise so i can't breathe fire.

If you do find yourself to be breathing fire, consult your doctor immediately.
