I forgot that was a thing.

Block Party Bash had those parade stops for dancing and trampoline tricks. Kids got to join in and dance to non Disney music. The green army guys where everywhere. Mrs. Incredible go-go dancing on top of a tower was "interesting".
Pixar Play Parade gave us better looking floats, Disney music, water squiring and no parade stops.

It felt very Epcot like and similar to Tapestry of Dreams. There were no Disney characters in it but the floats and the huge puppets where very creative. It was a lot more adult oriented.

It was - really fun. It's too bad it was a victim of DCA's miserable failure, as it was thematically on point and would have enjoyed a much longer run. I think adding characters to the units would have been a slam-dunk (even though it didn't need them) to keep it alive, but the will wasn't there at the time when DCA was bleeding money.

Which kinda makes sense as DCA was much more adult oriented...hence, one of the big complaints against the park when it opened...not much for those darn kiddies to do.

Seeing footage of the parade reminds me of the short lived Animal Kingdom parade that ran during the first few years of the parks opening before Mickey's Jammin Jungle Parade.

Where did you find that?

@OCDisney on twitter. I started a thread in this section, by the way where there's a little discussion going on.

Thanks. I'll check it out.
With absolutely zero insider knowledge, I really suspect the Animation building or right across from it to create a bit of a separation of the Marvel project.
I think we'll have to wait on MiceAge to spill the beans. Now that it has been floated they usually follow along and give more specifics.
This wouldn't be able to break ground until at least 2018 when the new transportation hub opens.

Very true, but I thought Marvel Land was going on the parking lot behind ToT, to connect it to GotG?
Mice Age changed the position about 6 months back to that Northern plot.
I still don't understand why, but the evidence is certainly now strongly supporting it.

I really don't how that makes thematic sense, but with GotG I guess Disney's thrown that consideration out of the window.

Since they are not taking the cheap route by expanding the park boundary, redirecting the monorail beam etc. I can only imagine we are missing a piece of the puzzle.
Perhaps long term plans for something that makes more sense to fall behind the Tower's new look. Whether that be more Space fairing Marvel, Star Wars, or something completely out of the blue like Wall E/Big Hero 6.
Everything I understand about the Marvel Expansion seems to be period Captain America, which actually jives far better with Hollywood then GoTG Tower.
Really, the tower is what's so confusing...

And that's why I'm so confused, because what we have heard about MarvelLand completely contradicts everything else that's been announced (i.e. GotG, like you said). You know, there's always room for multiple MARVEL areas right? I mean, the MCU covers so much in space and time, there could easily be two separate areas, similar to what you said. Or maybe a GotG themed area?
