Festival of Fantasy Parade coming to Magic Kingdom in 2014

[WDWYankee15]

How long until it's just a stationary dragon?

Hopefully they will put the proper maintenance into keeping it moving, if it does actually move (has it been confirmed that it will move?)

Don't worry they'll put strobe lights on it when it goes stationary after the first month. No one will be able to tell the difference.

No! Not disco dragon. Good thing I have a trip booked in April before it falls apart. haha

Straight from Steve Davison's Fan Page on Facebook:
"We revealed the newest unit today for the Festival of Fantasy parade in Magic Kingdom. I am very proud of this unit. Took years to get it on the street. And a big thank to Richard Improta and Michael Curry for all their hard work making the dream a reality.

Can't wait for you to see it in the street. The movement is incredible!"

There's the confirmation of movement. Sounds like Steve has had this project on file for quite awhile. The fact that he's been pushing it for so long should be enough proof that this parade will be spectacular.

I leave March 27th. Will the parade be up and fully running?

 

[WDWBryan]

this is gonna be a pretty sweet parade

DHS needs a daytime or better yet nighttime Villians parade - how cool would that be

 

[Clamman73]

Tangled bathroom??? What Tangled bathroom??? See Disney...put your efforts into stuff like this...

 

[m3owbox]

That dragon is awesome! So excited. Hopefully the parade will be up and running by mid March when I get there!

In the spirit of CADCT & the villains float, how quick before Phil starts cutting performers? I already have some ideas

Would be down with a villains parade, but really DHS needs something during the day more than anything since it already has Fantasmic! for the evening. There were rumors of DHS getting the current DCA Pixar parade, but I think that it was dependent on DCA getting a new parade (which might be on hold with budget cutbacks for the parks).

FYI.. The last 4 units will be moving from Central Shops to Parade storage this evening.. Hopefully completed BEFORE the bad weather rolls in..

Love the Maleficent dragon!!!!!! Can't wait to see this in September. Really glad that there's going to be so many new things to experience on our honeymoon.

How long before the float gets pulled for being "too scary"?

Oh cool! I didn't know Michael Curry was working on this!

He did the puppets for Tapestry!

I get excited for the parade but I can't help but fear what will happen to it once it's handed over to TDO and daily operations...

I'm very worried to.. But I'm thinking TDO spent a pretty hefty amount on this parade, so I would think they will want to maintain it.

And Finding Nemo the Musical and Broadway's The Lion King.

I didn't know he was involved either, that's very good news!
