Quick question, we will be at DW in late January will there be any parades at all during our visit? It seems like the current parade is being retired soon.
Thanks!

Here is a interview with the FOF producer:

About 9 mins into this video:

In this video at around 9mins it sounds like she's describing the Peter Pan float from the Tokyo Disneyland Jubilation parade.

I think Tokyo has the best parades of any of the parks, and anything they want to import from there is fine with me

As much as I love the Peter Pan float from the Tokyo Parade, I believe she is talking about the original float from the concept art.

Thanks, I spotted that artwork after the fact, the 2 designs are similar though

MiSiCi will continue running three performances a day most days. Four shows on extremly busy days (Which I think are only two or three days in January from the most recent schedule) It may actually allow vehicles to run longer as there is a larger gap between the first and second show. (11:15, 2:45, 4:20 most days)

I assume the new sound system and other modifications will begin soon?

Hopefully all the details will be released soon, all the floats, costumes, music, etc.

I know the concrete replacement is going on, not sure how far they have gotten tho.

Any chance of some of the performers being diverted to meet n greet sets in the down times? Thanks

I think more info will be released later this week

Permits were filed a while back for the sound system, so that should be well underway if not complete by now.

So Saturday we Finally say goodbye to Celebrate A Dream Come True?

Yes, hard to believe. Too early/soon IMO.

THANK YOU MK for not following DL which dropped POD for their street party!!! I still dont understand that and even if I hated CADCT, I would still give points to MK for what they did.

Thank you MK for not olny getting CADCT close to their 5th anniversary but that you brought it back for 4 days in 2014, twice a day no less, that makes me resl proud!
This is what CADCT did for me.

CADCT had me from its very first day when I saw it that night (thanks YouTube! ) it gave me something to smile about as I had a sledding accident two days before and getting back to WDW wasn't looking good as my grandfather had cancer and was unable to fly, at that time in Jan 2009. I know a parade can't really change a persons life but after CADCT opened, everything seemed to be a little better. My back healed without operating and my grandfather got cleared to fly so we could go back to WDW and see my favorite parade!
Considering I saw CADCT 3 times on my last trip (Thank you Parents! ) and not a week goes by where I don't watch it somehow at home. It's easy to say that I have the atmost respect for this parade and for MK's Entertainment Department.
Is it with all new floats? No, but I knew that going in since I've been on here since MSEP's first return. The magic I find in it is in the soundtrack, dancers, and characters.

Again, this is what MK and CADCT did for me the past almost five years. May CADCT have a fantastic finale these next three days and I hope I enjoy FOF just as much as CADCT!!!!

Forgive my not scrolling through all 50+ pages here, but has there been any debut date for the new parade given, other than "spring 2014"? I'm wondering whether we need to plan around it for our May visit...
