At least Jiminy Cricket had an umbrella. Too bad that Mary Poppins didn't use hers.

Hm, not understanding why "heads should roll" for this.

I know for one of the previous parades there were some sort of sensor things in the pavement that guided the floats along. I don't know if that is the case now?

Did you see all that water on the edges of Main Street? It's like the Rivers of America were trying to leave.

It was kind of a funny video. The puddles made me laugh. Reminds me of home (Seattle.) ;-)

Notice the CM that walks thru water way over her shoes to give the balloon back to the kid in the stroller. That was a nice thing to do.

Did you notice that there didn't appear to be anyone tending the stroller? It was just sort of left on the curb. Where were the parents?

Those are the same floats they are using in the Celebrate parade. Time for some new ones.

I've been in MK when a torrential downpour occurred out of the blue during a parade on a busy summer day. It is not a pretty sight - one of the few times I really thought I should be worried about my safety as everyone seemed to be in a complete panic.

Water was gushing down the streets within seconds, well over ankle height, when a few mins prior it had been bright and sunny.

Hey Merfie (I can call ya Merfie, right?), your old pals on another magical site made a whole thread about an Eddie Soto interview disappear after the ex-WDI talent joined the site and took part ... I am beginning to think the people over there might not be all there ... and old man Pierce and my JC skipper/lapdog have been MIA.

You should return. They really seem to hate you way more than they hate me and that's saying something!

Eddie Sotto is the reason I even have an interest in theme parks and now work in design. He fell off the radar nearly 10 years ago. He practically vanished.

All of the sudden he's doing a PR-blitz. I don't understand it. The article cited before is not the only one that has shown up in the last few days.

I dunno what to think.. i almost think he's orchestrating a coup, but of what i'm not sure. If anything, public opinion.

And i couldn't return if i wanted to.
