Looks like the Orlando incarnation of the garden float has a more blue color scheme compared to the original pink in Tokyo. I like it, it's a lot easier on the eyes and more royal looking. Though it doesn't appear that the circus float has had any repainting done to it, and I feel that one needed it more. Eh, there's still 3 months left, a lot could happen.

The Tokyo floats are beautiful and amazing floats but it's a little sad that TDO won't even give Steve Davison a large enough budget to build a completely original parade from scratch. Just wouldn't be a WDW parade without something being recycled from another resort.

While I agree, its better than whats barely making it down main street currently. And at least there will be a couple brand new floats like Merida's bagpipes. Personally I was hoping for an all new original soundtrack from scratch, but guess they are lifting that from Tokyo too, whatever TDO can get for less. :confused:

Geez I wonder how Steve feels about all of this. He's probably not too eager to do another project with TDO anytime soon.

No joke. Why would anyone with creativity, talent and the skill to make theatrical art want to??

I mean, the VP of DHS entertainment was fired a few weeks ago.

too bad the cheap eyesore metal tin scrap stage didnt get fired!!!! DHS really has no entertainment anymore except for the band that doesnt fit at all and really belongs at a biker bar. such a shame. no more parades either etc.

Was the now former VP of DHS entertainment good at their job or not? Just curious. The saving grace of DHS entertainment are the Citizens, I swear if anything ever happens to them I'm done with WDW.

I realize Disney is a business and they have budgets, but c'mon. Magic Kingdom is making millions each day and they can't afford to do the parade right?!?!!

I hope this parade shines and has no more cutbacks. I for one am excited to see the rumored different characters in it...Lost Boys etc

That's cool - they were in Share a Dream...or was it the one before?

Why did WDW only purchase a couple floats from Tokyo instead of the whole Jubilation parade? I imagine it was not cheap or easy to ship them all the way from Tokyo. Was it really that much cheaper than building a new Princess and Pinocchio float?

I understand, I just was wondering if it was the case where people would be happy or mad about the change or if honestly it will make any difference.

Could be a layoff too. At some point if you cut enough Indians, you have to chop a few chiefs.

Please do not flame me for this post!!!

Is CADCT Still scheduled for Jan 1-4? It still says MOUACT on the Travel Agents calendar. Also, would someone please get video of CADCT on Friday just in case MK extends Christmas into the new year? Thanks!

It would have been cool to see Celebrate A Dream Come True one day then Festival Of Fantasy the following day LOL. Now that would be a shocking difference! That's probably Exactly why WDW wants to end Celebrate A Dream Come True WAAY before Festival Of Fantasy debuts! lol.

I think its been discussed somewhat but can anyone confirm how many large floats and how many small floats will be in Festival Of Fantasy? Will it be the longest parade WDW has had or about the same as others?

And will there be any secret surprises for Festival Of Fantasy that have not already been discussed?
