Same. Night time parades are mildly entertaining due to the lights and music. Day time parades are boring. People get so excited about the dance party parades, or the current covid cavalcades, at Disney. I literally could not care less.I like night time parades because of all the synchronized lights. Day time parades, not so much.
I also am "meh" on fireworks. Disney fireworks are an exception because they tell a story and have great music (I'm a very musically driven person... good music is what gets me hooked), but normal fireworks on the 4th of July are boring. I don't want random fireworks played not in sync or choreographed with music. Like I said, Disney gets it right with their timing and matching the fireworks to the music and story, etc.
My husband and I were still dating, not technically engaged, but we already knew we'd get married. When he visited me, I had him come with me to school to teach the kids about popular Dutch music and such, and they all thought it was soooooo cool that he was from Europe. He showed them some Dutch money (Gilders, prior to Euros) and passed it around. He told them he knew exactly how much was there, so don't try to pocket it or he'd turn them upside down by the ankles. One of my fifth graders decided to test it, and he was just a tiny kid...my husband picked him up by the ankles and held him upside down until the money fell out. The kid said "You're going to marry that guy? That's SO COOL!!" I think that might have been about the only time that I liked the 5th graders. And every time my husband came to the school, one of my 2nd graders would say "Look! There's lover boy!" So much personality!!
