Festival of Fantasy Parade coming to Magic Kingdom in 2014

Pooh will never be in the MK day parade again

I won't really miss Pooh -- he is kind everwhere else on property (including Crystal Palace which can look out on the parade route, he really can't be in both places...)

My biggest question is if Alice and Hatter will be in the parade. I have a feeling the answer might be no, and that makes me rather sad. But I am sure we will still enjoy the parade regardless.

Ooh ok, makes sense. But this train float is confusing! I take it that's the "mystery float"?

Wait, TDL Fantasy On Parade had a train... At 5:26

Casey Jr. would make sense for the Storybook Circus area they added. Can't wait to see what ends up being in the parade.

Long time lurker here but this made me sign up. Why won't Pooh ever be in a parade again?

Hi ssaamm and welcome -- I am not 100% sure, but if I had to make an educated guess I would say that since Pooh and his friends are at Crystal Palace for character dining all day long, and since you can see the parade route from the Crystal Palace, it could be rather confusing for children (not to mention bad show) for Pooh to be seen in two places at once. There might be other reasons, but this would be my guess.

Ah okay thank you, makes sense, although I'm sure if they really wanted Pooh characters in the parade they could just swap some character dining around a little.

I agree this parade will be awesome, but, where is Belle?

Since Belle is greeting guests all day long, wouldn't it be confusing for the children to see her in a parade too? lol

Yes, LOL, but this parade is a celebration of NF, isn't it?

Twenty years of selling out CP with Pooh and friends means Pooh isn't leaving any time soon. I think character dining is beyond stale all around WDW and needs a mass refresh. Aside from the Disney Jr rotation at Play n Dine, when was the last change? Tremaines?

 

[TTA94]

Belle and Beast will be on the Royal Court float

Belle and her Prince are at the front of the Royal Court Float.

And if they don't mess it up, we will finally get to see Prince Adam in human form for once at MK.

The prince doesn't have a name.

I think it's roughly the same thing in look and design, both tdl and dlp versions

 

[WDWLover#1]

I have heard that indeed he is called Adam.

 

[SpectroMan93]

The prince doesn't have a name.

Everybody has a name.

 

[Jose]

Well, we're here to talk about the parade, not to talk about a character's name LOL

I have a hunch the reason might be something else...
