Is the Holly-Day parade the DSMC parade with ribbons?

Any word on SWW next year? I've heard WAY too many rumors of people I worked with in SWW, that it won't be coming back!?!?!?

The HHP is the DSMCP. They add about 20-30 more performers to between the cars alll carring gifts and dancing. They add snow, gifts and other Holiday Elements then change the music to Roll Out the Holly. It is not an "All New" parade but I really like it. It is nice that they do it for the holiday season. I kind of think about it as being like our own "It's A Small World Holiday".

Any word on SWW next year? I've heard WAY too many rumors of people I worked with in SWW, that it won't be coming back!?!?!?

SWW was extremly popular this year!! I do not see it going away next year. Maybe later as Star Wars fades out of the spotlight. That is just my opinion.

That's what I thought, about the popularity! It has to make a lot of money for the Studios, so I couldn't see them ending it... but I was told that ESPN The Weekend makes a lot more money, and they want to focus more on that... but, doesn't Lucas do all the funding for SWW anyway? I would hate to see it end! I LOVED doing it, and can't wait to do it again!!!

ESPN the Weekend was not what they expected. I do not know what they have planned for this year but last year was pretty weak.

Order of Populartiy for 2004 (by weekend)
#1 Super Soap Weekend
#2 Star Wars Weekend
#3 (distant) ESPN the Weekend
