So, to anyone who has seen the parade and smiled at a puppeteer or Dreamseeker... Thank you... from the bottom of my heart. You are the reason that I love my job.
Thank you Duncan from a guest who has loved the parade and music. I have seen ToD several times and the CM's put on a great parade and show every single time.
MKT, I know you didn't like ToD and suffered injuries because of it, but I want to thank you too for being a part of it's magic for those of us who loved the parade.
I do hope ToD is replaced with something as wonderful.
Lately the money crunchers seem to be replacing shows with rides. My 2 cents on why. Hum, a show such as Hunchback. A dozen or so CM performers who , while not making a whole lot of money, are making decent money, plus sound,lighting, dirctors etc vs a ride that might have 1-3 CM's making $6-8 an hour.
If the money crunchers continue to not look at the long term big picture we'll end up with Six Flags Orlando, formally known as Walt Disney World.

As a performer in both ToN and ToD, I'm going to be sad to see ToD go. Granted, there were quite a few changes that happened to "transform" the parade to ToD that I wasn't too thrilled with as either a performer or a guest, I still think that Tap is an incredible show that Disney will find hard to replace.
Sadly, we were all pulled into a meeting and informed that ToD will definately stage its last performance on March 1st. If it's anything like the closing night of ToN, I know that I'll be crying tears of joy both joy and sorrow as I walk into the gate for the last time.
And while there are a few performers who don't particularly enjoy the parade (because, yes, it can be painful at times), there are far more who have a love and appreciation for this show than any outsider could ever understand. I feel blessed that I had a chance to be a part of this show and have had the opportunity to march down the promenade with the bright, shining faces night after night (even though I do have to admit, some nights, there are confused, blank stares... but the same happens in every other parade on property).
So, to anyone who has seen the parade and smiled at a puppeteer or Dreamseeker... Thank you... from the bottom of my heart. You are the reason that I love my job.
PS - The Dreamseekers are just as scared of you as you are of them...![]()

thank you... all I ever wanted was appreciation for busting my ______ in that parade. In that sentence, you have done what ToD management never did.

Duncan and Rob - I just want to add my thanks for all of the wonderful times I have had at TON and TOD with my children and grandchildren - I have seen these parades many many times and I still get tears in my eyes. The music is wonderful, but the performers are just the BEST! I will be very sad when this parade ends. It will be as though one of my special times with my grandchildren will end.
I will be at WDW March 14 - March 22. If anyone finds out when the final date for this parade - I would love to know.
Also - has Disney taped this parade. I don't understand why Disney doesn't tape each and every different parade and offer these for sale after the parade is changed. I would love to have all the parades - to watch over again.
Just to let both of you know - many many of us do appreciate all the time and hard work each of you put into making our all of our stays very MAGICAL.:wave:
