Festival of Fantasy Parade coming to Magic Kingdom in 2014

Pretty impressive from a far away look.

Hope they look after this one better.

Overall a good parade but I'm not ready to declare it a home run quite yet. The music (though hard to hear) was definitely not as majestic as Spectro or Tapestry, nor as catchy as Boo to You or Once Upon a Christmastime. The dragon float was certainly impressive, and the decision to add Anna and Elsa (and Olaf!) was a really good call. I look forward to seeing it in person in four weeks.

Please return Smee in a boat prior to Tick. Tock the alligator. Similar to the night parade unit. It would definitely add to the fun.

But if he's in the boat already during the nighttime parade, why should he be during the day? And you said "return" meaning that he was already in a boat, but this is a new parade that just stepped off less than an hour and a half ago?

Why did the leave out Winnie the Pooh and Small World? I was hoping they would make it in the parade. Bring this float over from Jubilation!

ImagineerDude.....it is a very short shelf life for MSEP. Add the boat for Smee!

It's always interesting to me how people people can feel so differently about the same thing. I found Festival of Fantasy to have incredibly catchy music, and I'm not really a big fan of the Once Upon a Christmastime music. My main critique is that the parade seems a little short, but they pack in so much into those 15 minutes that I can let it slide.

Also, there's already a video on Youtube of kid who was scared of the Maleficent float. I swear, if this becomes big enough of a problem that the float is cut, I might just hate children forever.

Did they move the Anna and Elsa from Epcot to this parade? Looked like it to me.

Pooh is never in the day parade due to CP

I don't think Pooh was gonna be in it due to the fact u can see the parade from crystal palace. It would be an odd conversation why u can see pooh and friends at two different places at once.

 

[Big Bad Wolf]

Could anyone detect bubble coming from the Whale unit/Pinocchio? The float originally had this feature in Jubilation.

What are you talking about I love the Christmas parade music!! I thought the floats seemed really really close together. And I'm still laughing about your hating-children-forever comment

Oh. And the Tigger setup from Jubilation would require equity pay

I'm pretty sure they are still meeting in Norway at EPCOT, but yes you did spot them on the opening float!

What about SADCTP? I believe the entire cast of WTP was in it?

The parade is only a short period of time.....let Kangaroo and Owl stay behind and the rest can be in the parade...lol

@drew81 is the one to ask. I know it causes grief the week they run OUACTP

I think you mean CADCTP (Celebrate with a "C" ) I know Pooh was on the Pinocchio float, and the entire cast (with Christopher Robin) is in the Christmas parade
