I love the smell of sarcasm in the morning... (With apologies to Col Kurtz)

same here! I wasn't even going to put AK in our plans for our short weekend, but I guess we will go simply for EE, Finding Nemo, and to catch a last look at this parade

Meh...I never thought it was that good, and it was an operations/guest flow nightmare. It is, however, a major blow to the park in that you now have 0 reason to linger in the park for a major piece of entertainment, leading to even more early departures.

By then Fotlk should be running again.

Well, yeah, but if you saw an early showing, or didn't plan on seeing it at all, it doesn't really matter. This happened once per day, later in the day precisely to keep people around. I'm surprised they never pushed it back to after 4, personally.

I'm extremely surprised at this news. Although I'm not too saddened by the actual loss of this parade since I never cared for it at all, I'm saddened by the fact that Entertainment is just being cut right and left. Entertainment is what put Disney at a whole level above all other theme parks, in my opinion, and it seems to be the most expendable thing in TDO's minds. Sad.

We are getting a little ticked off with Disney World and are now planning a trip to Disneyland seems it is more Disney than Disney World.

Once again... I couldn't be happier that in three weeks I'll be spending 8 days in the tokyo parks, with no desire what so ever to visit WDW anytime in the foreseeable future.
Vote with your wallet people. It will be the only thing that matters... If ANYTHING does.
What we have to remember is that there is a HUGE line of people to take the place of each and every single one of us that chooses to spend our money elsewhere. A long line of people that don't know any better. So even if all of us stopped going as of today, it would likely take years for TDO to care.
But hey. I'm doing my part. Can't wait to be back in the best Disney parks on the planet... And love that Disney will make minimum profit from me.
Hey OLC!!!!! Take my wallet!!!! Please!!

You won't be sorry. Not one bit.

God bless the "Ignore" button.
We will no longer have a parade at Disney Animal Kingdom effective whenever we feel like it. We will continue to offer a bare minimum of atmosphere entertainment for our guests, including the new #RandomAnimalCharactersDanceParty at Parking Lot Land.

If there weren't plans to add more entertainment, then I think the outrage would have merit. However, this is being cut to make way for the aforementioned new evening entertainment.

I guess it's a shame to lose more character/parade performer shifts/jobs and also how soon is this new nighttime show supposed to be even coming? If the parade was ending and the new nighttime show was starting immediately I would be fine, but I just feel like there will be a big gap.

It's amazing how much entertainment has been cut by an "entertainment" company...

In 3 years! I'm not morning the loss of the parade as I never enjoyed this one. However, I am morning the loss of another entertainment option. Especially in a park other than MK, which all need each and every ride, show, and attraction it can to be viable. Using the excuse of, or the cover of "the future" is inexcusable. I want future nice things but not at the complete expense of today. My kids are the age to meet and experience the characters now in their full magic. 3 years from now that moment will have lost some if not all of that "magic." So I herald the news of new and better things, but don't dare dangle the promise of "tomorrow" as an excuse for a poor and lacking product today.

I'm good with this...I find the parade at AK to be a royal pain in the patoot. The walkways are too narrow and on a busy day you can't friggin' see the parade anyway for all the people.
I'm actually okay with no parades anywhere but MK. They don't really feel like they fit Epcot or AK. I guess DHS could maybe be okay...but not with that hat...

Bottom line, due to the construction, parade vehicles won't be able to access the route. Entertainment will be added but they have four months to figure that out.
