If a parade route was such an issue for World Showcase couldnt they just get rid of the drums, the parade lane and have the puppets walk freely thru the crowds allong with the music?

I hated that parade, did not miss it
Get rid of the parade lane? How do you avoid collisions between guests and the puppets?

best parade EVER.
Or at least shorten it, I thought it would be cool. It's not like a units driving thru the crowds, just a cast member with a puppet. It's like 2 guests coloring into each other and it's not like every day 2 guests just colide into each other and cause a bad accident lol.

I would welcome it back. But I know CM's who said the puppets were hard on the body.

I want it to come back so badly. I'm still kicking myself for never watching it while it was still around.

I'm an overly obsessed Tapestry fangirl!!!! But as a drummer, I LOVE the clock drums! They're so cool! The way the drummers play them is so amazing! I cry all the time watching videos of it, and I listen to the song every day! I have hopes that it will come back.

I miss that parade. We only saw it once in 2000. That's the year we just went to EPCOT. I miss the Mickey wand too ( yes- I know I'm in the minority on this one). It was just a special year! The music is awesome!

As the puppets were hard on the backs and safety of the performers, you won't see them return. Also, some of those puppets were *big* (most notably the "puppet with a puppet"). They needed a lot of free space to be able to walk, dance and turn. You start walking them down the path with Guests around them and they'll be limited to walking in a straight line without turning or dancing.
The parade worked because the performers had the freedom to move around in the space they had.
