You know, what's really funny here is that most everyone that has replied to this thread has things to add that they feel would have made the broadcast better or stronger - yet no one really argued back that "it was fine the way it was." Well, except the ISTCkid, but that was to be expected.
Thing is - if you have thread with that many people giving opinions - I mean it's up to what - six or seven pages already? How did Disney drop the ball so far with this year's show?
It'd be most interesting to see what a random selection of "non-obessed" Disney fans thought of the parade - to see if they shared a similar sentiment. My friend in California called me after he watched it to say how awful he thought it was. Now - he disliked it far more than myself - but the reasons he gave were the same ones I and a few others mentioned about the awful "celebrities" and all the teeny boppers and more commerical than Christmas.
I really wonder if Disney turned more people off to Walt Disney World with this than they turned on to it.[/QUOTE]
Naah, we just have short memories. This same discussion was held after last year's parade, and the year before that. If anything, general feelings are that this telecast is a bit better than the last few years.
Lets face it, we all still watched it to get our Disney fix, we will watch it next year....bottom line, bad Disney is better than no Disney. Bring on those green army men!
