I know that this reported by someone under the Spectromagic thread, but I thought that this was important enought to have its own thread.
Screamscape is reporting an interesting rumor. :shrug:

2013 - New Parade - Rumor - (1/23/12) According to a new rumor going around, Disney is making plans to launch a new deluxe daytime parade sometime in 2013… likely around the same time they are ready to open the majority of the Fantasyland expansion site. No word on the theme or the show, though I’ve heard that that proposed floats will be quite complex. As for the night parade, I’ve also heard that there may be plans afoot to refurbish and upgrade Spectromagic for an eventual return when they finally retire the Main Street Electrical Parade once again. (I’ve got to wonder if they’ll send MSEP to Shanghai at that point…)

Disney World is well known for the quality of its attractions and show. Its fans love all the little this things. It is the attention to details that realkly makes it special. Howver, for a long time Disney fans have said that one of the biggest things lacking at the Magic Kingdom (the heart and center piece of the Disney theme park universe) is a quality daytime parade. This is really the chance for kids to see and "meet" some of their favorite characters. Not everyone can wait in line in a million places to see each character and also the parades should be a chance to also see characters that aren't doing meet and greets.
The current daytime parade, "Celebrate a Dream Come True Parade" (which is just the latest incarnation of the same recycled parade they have had for years) doesn't seem to match the quality of Disney's standards that its fans have come to expect and love. In fact the "Celebrate a Dream Come True Parade" incarnation, which is now two years old has seen a drastic reduction in the the number of floats. The many of these floats have been going up and down Main Street U.S.A., Liberty Square, and Frontierland since more than 15 years. The "Castle" float has been in every daytime parade going back at least 30 plus years. I remember seeing it in 1987 on my first visit to the Magic Kingdom for the 15th Anniversary!
Let's pray that 2013 is the year for that change. It would be a shame for the Magic Kingdom to roll out all the new things they will have to offer in 2013, but continue to run the same old parade.
It is time for a change.
:sohappy:
