I think it would be neat if they had like a tribal/African/etc. drum parade or something...not block off the streets just slowly move through the park maybe twice a day. Could even have a couple show stops and give a few "noise makers" to kids as well to join in... lots of possibilities here

I only watched this parade once because I had a hard time filling the day up enough at AK to stay there until it started. It was a cute parade, but I agree with others that there is really no room in this park for a parade, and when it is happening, you can't navigate through those areas at all. That being said, it seems like "included" entertainment is being replaced by "extra cost / ticketed" entertainment, which I don't like very much.

If true, that's interesting, because that's where Walt Disney World's copy of the Main Street Electrical Parade got shipped off (never to be heard from again, apparently).

How sad that the Magic Kingdom has become the "hectic, bombastic park". I'm not even necessarily disagreeing with you, but it's too bad it's come to that.
That said, if someone doesn't like parades, that's fine. But Disney parks are synonymous with parades, and the fact that there will now only be 2 parades running in all of WDW, and both in one park, is concerning. Up until last year there were 4, and in the early 2000s there were 5! (Including Tapestry).
How does anyone defend the constant removal of entertainment offerings with no replacement?

Well it wasn't the greatest parade in history, not even in the history of WDW, it was a little too less Disney IMHO, especially the music which was mostly more like an early 90ies Easy Listening medley. I have seen it several times and that's enough, I will not miss it that much as long as there is a replacement. Let's hope the new evening show will outshine it in every way.

There is no replacement parade.

Does TDO consider the planned river show to be a replacement?

I'm sure for budgetary reasons they do. But I think the park needs both, honestly. And at this point, they still haven't even announced when the river show is going to premier. 2015? 20176? When Pandora opens in some distant future.
In the mean time there's nothing but cost savings in the entertainment budget and fewer entertainment options for guests.

We know there is no immediate replacement, but it doesn't mean that one couldn't be developed in upcoming years especially once people complain that there isn't enough to do in a full day once the hours get extended.

There's a few things planned but nothing that I've heard will use the same head count as the parade

Of course not.
Let me guess, a couple of foamheads riding around on a repurposed old float?
