22	Darkbeer Mon 12/22/2008 2:50p	There will be an "event" most of the year, the "Celebrate Today" Street Party, which might become bit more of a parade when it premieres, as it will be taking over the POD slot.
23	FerretAfros Mon 12/22/2008 3:41p	There were several weeks before the 50th (I think in Jan or Feb of 05) when they were working on the pavement near the Matterhorn. They had a fairly generic character calvacade during that time with princesses and stuff (using the princess float from the Christmas parade, sans Christmas decorations) that ran up Main Street to the castle, did a breif show stop, and came back down the street, exiting where it had entered (next to the hat shop). From what I've heard, there will be a repaving project will take over Main Street from January through March of next year. I don't know what effect that will have on the parade, but I expect it will mean it will be pretty small for at least the first few months. They could probably run the floats out from the northern edge of Main Street (next to the corndog place) and up toward iasw, or just bring it down it's a small world mall to the hub, where it would basically turn around and head back. From the title of 'street party', it sounds like it might be something small enough where that might be a viable option. I would guess they could probably fit 3 or 4 floats in the street around the hub, plus a lot of dancers who could move around to help 'squish' it into the circle so it could turn around. I don't know any real specifics about what they have planned, but it seems to me that it could definately be half the size of POD and all work out, if they're clever about it.

25	PARADE OF DREAMS 2 Fri 12/26/2008 4:09p	The Disneyland website still says that POD will return in spring 2009.
26	Mr F Wed 12/31/2008 10:20a	The Disneyland Website is never up-to-date
27	Darkbeer Wed 12/31/2008 9:54p	The Disneyland Memo a couple of days ago to CM's states that the Parade of Dreams will NOT return.
28	Sweeper Fri 1/2/2009 9:11a	Finally I won something in the 2 years of a million dreams!!!!! POD is GONE!
