Festival of Fantasy Parade coming to Magic Kingdom in 2014

[SpectroMan93]

I believe someone mentioned something about the dragon for the Sleeping Beauty float being looking very "steampunk-ish" earlier in this thread. If what I know about the genre is true, that photo is very much in-line with the steampunk style. Now all it has to be is the dragon, and if that checks out, I will be booking one vacation to Orlando this summer. *waits very impatiently for Disney's announcement tomorrow*

Wow can't imagine what this will be but sounds huge and amazing!

I hope that no one "in the know" posts pics online. It needs to be a surprise. A surprise you see rolling down main st so you can look up in awe. But then again, I hate surprises.

I was just thinking this last night! As excited as I am to get details about this parade, part of me really doesn't want to know anything about it and just be surprised and amazed the first time I see it!

So will this be the last float we haven't seen?

So excited MK is Finally going to have a TDL style modern parade! And hopefully this is the start of new other things to come!!

Sorry, but it can't be the dragon. No one in Sleeping Beauty needs an oven I don't think. Maybe Snow White is baking pies?

Gooseberry pies, of course. Gooseberries, apparently, are a good source of vitamin C and dietary fiber. Grumpy in particular strikes me as needing more fiber in his diet....

Wait.. Snow White doesn't have a float yet, and a "train set" could be a Mine train!

Hmmm. Did Snow White appear in Tokyo on the Cinderella/princess float that WDW acquired? If not, this is an interesting point, especially with the mine train being such a big part of new Fantasyland.

Would love to see Snow and all the dwarfs and you wouldn't think they would all appear unless they have their own float.

have we got an exact date it will start showing??? and i cant find it at the moment but does this mean just now MK does not have a parade?

From what the calendar shows, yes, no day time parade and just the MSEP on certain evenings.

 

[C.FERNIE]

wow that is a bit of bummer, could they not have got the new parade ready before they closed the old one? it seems a very long time to go without a parade!

Gears like a clockwork, I'm sure it's nothing at all like it, but it makes me think of the awesomeness that were the floats of the Tapestry parades.

Everyone needs an oven!

And not all ovens are used for cooking...

Edit: I have no idea if that is even a clue, I am just throwing things out there.

The Let the Memories Begin banner has finally been taken down!

 

[Wikkler]

Cant say that is surprising... and honestly probably the smarter choice... even though I would much rather see Prince Adam* I am sure there are a lot of WDW guests that instantly recognize the Beast but wouldn't recognize his prince form and would prefer the Beast :\

*I know that isn't his "official" name even though it has been used by Disney in a few instances... but makes it easier to identify who I am talking about

There will probably be people asking if it's Gaston...

 

[TTA94]

What! That's all the pics Disney is going to give us until next week!! Ugh! Lol

 

[WDWYankee15]

It's the official name within all Disney nomenclature. Thanks to my job, I know about these things.

Belle, Cinderella and Aurora were on that float in Tokyo. Snow White wasn't in that parade.

I think it's the BatB float, Snow White will be in the Court Royal float (I THINK)
