That one just straight up might be replaced by a new float.

Didn’t realize the blurb on the website mentions Frozen. Surprised they kept that float all this time.
I guess this means they don’t include the newer Incredibles float for this run? Although I’d love them to have both.
Dare to be dazzled by one million brilliant lights and popular Disney pals in this stunning technical spectacle, flooding the streets of Disneyland Park with stunning color and fun surprises!
Watch Sorcerer Mickey conjure glittering visions with a wave of his hand while Tinker Bell paints rainbows resplendent with pinches of pixie dust. Celebrate with Elsa, Olaf and friends from the beloved Disney film Frozen as they wave hello from a glimmering ice castle. Be surprised when other Disney Characters appear—reminding us of wonderful stories from some of your favorite Disney movies such as Monsters, Inc., Cars, Toy Story, The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast and more—who may include:

I suspect the intro will be the same, but suspect the finale will likely be changed since it was based on Zip.
The Zip part will either be a dance break like Festival of Fantasy or be replaced with the anniversary song like Storybook Express.

The Zip part ends the parade with Mickey on a float that has Zip scrolled across as the song plays, so I doubt it'll be just be a dance break. They will need to have a new song and new scroll display.

Well they are kind of rolling back some of the DEI stuff. Maybe Zip comes back. Honestly it should and I can see a world where Disney brings the song back into the fold one day. Maybe not this time but at some point in the next 10 years.

It's only seem like its been shorter since its been more customer facing recently. But Disney has been very progressive internally for decades. And I suspect none of that will change.
As for Zip, maybe it was an overreaction, maybe it wasn't. I don't want to relitigate that aspect of it, I just think it would be too soon to bring it back but we'll see. I just have a feeling they'll make a change to the finale so its something else as the final song. Maybe like an uptempo Wish Upon a Star or something.

Sure perhaps internally but t wasn’t really showing up in their content or policies until pretty recently. Meaning you can be somewhat progressive internally and yet still stay away from politics and keep things close to center for the good of the company and its bottom line which they are clearly trying to do now after moving way too far in one direction since 2020.

We'll see what happens, I'm just not expecting much more than lip service like I mentioned.

How is it just lip service when just a few weeks ago they were talking about how they rewrote a certain character and eliminated storylines/ dialogue in that Pixar series on Disney+? Are you saying that didn’t happen?

I’m just sad we had to cancel our trip for June. I wanted to see this so bad.

I’m not saying that didn’t happen, I’m just saying I don’t think it’s going to be the major changes as I think some envision.
I don’t want to get this thread bogged down in this topic as that is not what this thread is about. So lets just move on from this and get back to PtN.

Agree on both here. I am hoping in a world of moderating view points - and I prefer to stay out of politics - at least these 2 non egregious elements can stay. But I agree the opening, with its nods to the MSEP is REALLY important to stay, especially with this being a anniversary offering.
