Mon 3/10/2008 7:26p | Ahh! I do not like it! I have so many problems with it. First off, it does not belong in DHS! How in the world does this parade in any way correspond with the themeing of the park. I just don't see it. It doesn't fit. It seems perfect at a park like DCA. But in comparison to how the Motorcars parade fit in with the themeing of the park, this parade loses. Horribly I might add. Second, this parade is corny. I hate to say it. I'm a teenager with a very large and open mind when it comes to things Disney as far as "family" entertainment goes, but I just can't take it. Could they find any music less than 20 years old? There has been good, kid-friendly party music made since the 80's and 70's. This parade with the music and emcees making comments the whole time just remind me of some lame carnival show for kids. I'm serious. As soon as the music started I immediatly thought of some silly little kids dance party at a carnival. And that dissapoints me. I really hate it when I dislike something Disney. I really do. But this is just an awful parade. I think they could do so much better. I will give the parade this, the floats are awesome! They really are. I wish other WDW parade floats were built with this much detail. Other than that, I think this was a bad decision. It seems so out of place at DHS. It almost seems like DHS has become less of an holly wood entertainment based park and more of a "Well it doesn't fit anywhere else, I guess we'll just plop it down in DHS" kind of park. |

Mon 3/10/2008 8:20p | I haven't watched the video yet, but it looks just like it did in DCA from the pictures. Maybe a new coat of paint, maybe performers that are a couple years older, but other than that, it all looks really similar.
Everybody seems to think that it doesn't fit in DHS, but the parades never really fit in their park. This parade is no more about DCA than it is DHS. If anything, it's probably a better fit for the studios, but really, parades don't usually have that much of a connection to their respective parks. The Stars and Motor Cars parade definately fit with the theme pretty well, but I have a feeling that this will be more of a success, since it has a lot more "wow" factor than the previous one, which would best be described as a calvacade. |

Mon 3/10/2008 10:17p | I promised Dan Young I would not whomp on WDW, but things like this makes it hard when the evidence is there (and that is why I try to pursuade Europeans to spread there wings and try the other resorts rather than brainlessly rebook to Fla time and time again).
But benefit of doubt here, is it in preview mode? |

It's not an awful parade, but not one of the best either. It's one of those one that once you have seen it, you have seen it. |
