Improvements I would make to the parade-
Princess Garden Float- Add 3 more couples to the back of the float or add 1 more couple to the front. Replace ouad with first time in forever or do you wanna build a snowman
Tangled-Nothing
Little Mermaid-Add 2 more dancers to the front; one seashell one lionfish. There should be 1 or 2 small moving units at the back and move the seahorses behind these.
Peter Pan- Add 4 pirate dancers with smee. Also behind tic toc add 2 butterflies dancers like in soundsational.
Brave-Add Queen Elinor. Also at the back add 3 people holding flags of the three clans like this:

Sleeping Beauty- Nothing needs changing. More fire has already been added so yey!!!!
Finale unit- Before the troop of dancers with Jimminy cricket, have 2 moving teacup units with the tweedle twins in one each.


Also if you were to add a new unit add a AiW float. Teacups wouldn't go they'd just be behind the aiw float and in front of the finale float. Replace Alice, Mad Hatter and White Rabbit with Mary, Bert and a penguin.

If anyone else wants to say what they'd do feel free to do your own :)

Some strobe lights working today! :DLooks cool!! The strobes on Maleficent were awesome! Nice added touch! My only complaint is they only sparkle briefly during one part of the loop :(.

Also they really need to do something about Anna and Elsa.. Today Again that section was not "spinning". A lot of people miss seeing them, even when they Are "spinning". Seriously how hard would it be to add a small float for them? Also I would think it would be easier to add music to new unit than edit a already made track which could mess up timing. Just put Aurora on the garden float so they don't have to change the music.

From what I know, a few more characters will be added along with the music change within the Princess float.

Glad to hear it. Thanks! Though I must echo @Kman101 in feeling that the Little Mermaid unit is lacking. Though I know it will never happen, it would have been great to see those spinning fish that were rumored or even something like the Ursula unit in Spectro, really anything to flesh out that section.

In somewhat related news, Twitter-sphere produced a photo of a cool billboard for the parade:

Well it's not necessarily how hard would it be but from TDO's POV how much would it cost? That's an additional float, additional soundtrack, additional drivers, additional performers or two. Also I wouldn't want them to shoe-horn them in on a float that isn't on the same level as the other floats and anything done in-house would probably be done very cheaply and detract from the parade.

Could we possibly see these changes, whatever they are, by the end of May? Or further out?

I don't know if Disney is doing it on purpose or if it's simply just taking them awhile but since the debut some things have gradually been added like more fire, also smoke recently coming from the back of Maleficent and her nose or mouth. And now the strobes have been turned on...

Being an obsessive AIW fan, I LOVE the idea of adding an Alice float!

I would really love it if they used this float from DL's Parade of Dreams.

I see them. Tiny little LED flashes.
What's the point, exactly?

I'm not entirely sure. Possible that the floats were always supposed to have LEDs, but they weren't ready until now. A more out there theory of mine is that they could be testing it out for potential evening performances, when they would be more appreciated. Either way, it's a nice touch added to a great parade.

The point is night performances.

Having seen them all over parade floats at the DLR since POD... at night/in the dark, they're a beautiful effect.
