It sad to see anything go away, but I must say I saw the parade for the first time last week and really was not too impressed. It seemed like every other float was just carrying a special guest. And the pathways in parts of DAK are pretty narrow, which doesn't leave the performers too much space to, well, perform.
But like I said, it stinks to see anything get cut.

What is it about the evening entertainment - which doesn't even exist yet - which prevents the continued operation of an afternoon parade? Other than the almighty dollar, of course.

It's a great Christmas parade. It also cleared out the park by 4pm.

I guess its sounding like logistics for the reason of this one being cut, upcoming night stuff and avatar construction, but if they want to cut something to save money, cut move it shake it already, once FOF debuts. Dont flame me for hating it lol, but that obnoxious thing is so blaring loud with that screaming dj you cant even speak or hear to check in at the Plaza. Its beyond ridiculous. I dont even feel like Im at Disney anymore, entertainment has really been lowered in quality.
But sad were going to be down to only one park with a parade left. the electrical parade will probably be next.

I'm sorry but when you cut the parade from DHS, the parade from DAK, Disney Channel Rocks, there are only so many other places these cast members can go. Somewhere down the line jobs are cut, the shifts simply aren't available anymore.

The thing is that if the goal is to make DAK a "full day park" and keep guests there for longer hours, they really need the day time parade in addition to the night time show. There's already a paucity of attractions in DAK to warrant a full day, especially for people who don't want to just take in the scenery or spend a lot of time on the animal trails. The park really needs the night time show and the daytime parade and Pandora and a few more rides to be fully fleshed out. One step forward, two steps back it seems.

The new evening entertainment - Goofy's Guestiful Gopher Game! Put on a Mickey hardhat and join in the fun! Your Goofy Guide will direct you in moving Minnie's magical machinery, cleaning Clarabelle's Caterpillar clogs, and doting Donald's dream debris into Disney dumpsters! So, have a hand in building Avatarland and make Goofy's Guestiful Gopher Game your FP+ choice today.

I could appreciate that statement if this was Febuary 2016. Making way for evening entertainment that is years away from launching? How is this "Good News" for 2014 with Lion King already closed along with Camp Minnie and Mickey and now Jammin?
Disney was always thin on things to do at AK to start with, offering less than there already was seems problematic not good news.

God bless the "Ignore" button.
And what of the long gap between the end of the parade and the start of aforementioned new evening entertainment?

It's like how they closed the parade and DCR at DHS because the parade building and storage area is going to be taken over by some future expansion there.....

Then they wouldn't have kept it running for so long.

You know what's funny?
They probably thought, "well, we got to have some sort of entertainment at AK, because there is nothing else to do here!" I guess eventually they came to their senses and realized how much of a waste it was.

You're trying too hard.

Oh sorry, let me get on board. This is just another attempt by WDW to save money by cutting back entertainment available to guests while raising prices on everything to squeeze every last cent from its guests. They forgot they are in the business to create great experiences for their guests who come to the parks and this is just another example of corporate greed. Better?

Just because you don't like this particular parade doesn't make it worthless. Granted, it is no Tapestry of Nations or SpectroMagic, but it was a completely respectable parade. It even has a Christmas version overlay, something rare in Walt Disney World.
