Looking at the recent trends for attraction opeings at the Resorts it seems a bit odd why they would open the attraction in the middle of Christmas/New Year's season when they already have large crowds in the Parks. Pooh's Hunny Hunt" (2000) opened the week school was back in session after summer break. Buzz Lightyear" (2004) opened after spring break ended.
13	leemac Wed 2/7/2007 3:04p	OLC are deliberately holding Monsters back as they are worried about attendance declining in '09. Ultimately WDI could still deliver the attraction for next April if required but at this time OLC is following the DLR model and holding back a major attraction for an anniversary year (ie. like Disneyland did with Space Mountain). <<Buzz Lightyear" (2004) opened after spring break ended.>> Yup but it opened on the birthday and the park was rammed as it was for several weeks afterwards.
14	leemac Wed 2/7/2007 3:06p	That said I guess the date could slip to January but the issue with opening an attraction in the low season is that you don't give the CMs a chance to handle crowds for a lengthy period of time. Opening early December would alleviate that especially as TDL's December attendance is still driven by the Christmas events rather than any national holidays or true observance of holidays.
15	MagicalNezumi Wed 2/7/2007 3:51p	Lee, if OLC is worried about attendance decline in 2009, wouldn't it be better to open the attraction in 2009 instead of late 2008? That's why I can see OLC holding back the attraction opening to late or after the anniversary season. I also agree that attendance is driven by the end-of-year holidays. So why overburden the CM's with an attraction opening during a crowded season? Why not let them handle relatively smaller crowds in the slow season and then watch those crowds increase when the next long weekend or holiday comes along? While I don't doubt the schedule you posted, I find it odd OLC considering it. -- MagicalNezumi

WDW would bit be able to run that parade with the required number of floats and performers seen at TDL.. They are too cheap for that.
18	Malin Fri 2/9/2007 4:05a	Its a bit too soon to worry about Dreams on Parade moving on to WDW ,we've probarely got about another 10 years of the current Disney Dreams Come True Parade!
19	TDLFAN Fri 2/9/2007 11:05p	It won't happen. Let's not even waste time with that.
20	tcsnwhite Mon 5/28/2007 4:05a	Any new details about this yet? the concept? the design? the size? anything?
