I have a question: Since DL and WDW often "share" parades, why couldn't Tokyo DL share a parade or two with WDW? Sure, I know the cost of shipping floats, etc., may be prohibitive but TDL has such awesome parades, it's a shame for us over here to not be able to see them.

It's not that easy... The Tokyo parks (and everything contained therein) are not owned by Disney. They're owned by the Oriental Land Co. and everything is licensed by Disney. Which means, basically, that it would be some kind of "rental" situation between two companies. Not out of the realm of possibility, but a whole lot more complicated than going from DL to WDW, which, while I'm sure they're separate divisions (which complicates things), they're still at least all controlled by the same board.

Plus... I'd imagine TDL knows better than to let WDW's maintenance crew anywhere NEAR their parade. :lol: Having seen it in person though... It's AMAZING. Just amazing.

if it's not that easy then how was Disneyland Paris able to get "Fantillusion" from Tokyo? (which IMHO was a BIG mistake considering how short their version is compared to when it ran in Tokyo

Paris was willing to pay for Fantillusion well some of it anyway lol.

I'm wondering though if Block Party Bash will be on the way out shortly for the Pixar Play Parade. It's about to end it's run over at DCA within the next year or so.
