IMO Disney needs to really cut back on confetti and streamers if they truely want the public to buy into the whole Disney Go Green Standard.While I'm sad that the Villains float got removed, these recent changes seem to be a step in a much better direction. Looks like the female dancers got individual ribbons during the show stop, too, though they cut the confetti-streamer-things. Oh well, can't win them all! Overall I'd say it's still more good than bad.
From the photos I saw on Facebook:
Before Mickey Unit:
Pluto, Chip & Dale
Pinocchio Unit:
Geppetto, Foulfellow & Gideon
Aladdin Unit:
Jafar, Abu, & Genie
Peter Pan Unit:
Hook, Smee, Tweedledum & Tweedledee
Princess Unit:
Stepmother, Stepsisters, Suzy & Perla
I have a video from the Villains final show stop, but I don't know how to post it!
Looks like they also cut way back on the number of dancers.
Yes I don't know how to post a video on here. I may try and see if my brother can post it on his you tube account and then link it from there. I currently have it on my facebook account, but don't really want to link anything to facebook. If you know of an easier way please let me know!
And yes they did cut back on the number of dancers. From what I heard and have seen Mickey/Castle/Romance SHOULD be at 4 girls and 4 guys. All other units SHOULD be at 4 girls and 2 guys.
With the adding/removal of characters and dancers, are we down CM's, up CM's or still at the same #? My understanding is that the 4/4 & 4/2 isn't always the case. The 5/4/09 youtube video seems to confirm that.... (I'm sure call outs play into this)
Mickey 4G/4B, Pinocheo 3G/2B, Aladdin 4G/2B, Pan 3G/2B, Princess 2G/2B, Castle 4/4
With the few video shots and pic's I have seen, it appears this is a good over all change to the original CDCT parade. It has more energy over all, and connects the guest with the performersI agree! I really like the new version.
