It was intended to include new floats, stilt walkers and be something fresh and exciting--certain to wow the majority of guests. ORWEN: Then the bean counters came along and decided it was too costly an idea. They would, instead, bring back the Tapestry of Dreams parade again--since it would be cheaper. According to our sources, THAT'S what we all have to look forward to at some future point. Now, if this isn't another example of current management taking a giant step backwards, we don't know what is. ORDDU: But it does go to show that--for the same reason they don't want to upgrade their parade at Epcot--they also don't want to upgrade their night time parade at Magic Kingdom.

If you decide to skip the parade, there is a lot more to do!

I have three times as much fun than you do for less entry admission fees at TDL with 3 different parades daily and several (4 or 5?) top notch different stage shows at night and daytime.

Enjoying Dreamlights and enjoying Spectro are not mutually exclusive-- I love both parades for different reaons. The Spectro music and lyrics are what really make that parade one of my favorite events ever from any Disney park- I think they really create a magical mood. Obviously, ymmv, but I can't get enough of Spectromagic.

That means that the folks who run WDW do things the best way, the right way....consistantly. Bet that ticks you and your grumpy group unhappy eh?
Originally Posted By BlazesOfFire When I see some certain people have posted...I know what Im about to read is negative, or making me feel bad about my opinions because i am usually upbeat on things about Disney World. It is sad that one has to think that when they see certain names (and im right about what is said every time). Yet, I keep coming back because there are more good people then bad, despite our opinion differences. They are still a lot of help and I am glad to have found this community nonetheless. Spectromagic will be replaced...one day. Just not now. So many are still enjoying it, whether it be their first time seeing it, or their 20th. It is something that families can enjoy (and that is after all what Magic Kingdom is suppose to be about!)
Originally Posted By TDLFAN >>That means that the folks who run WDW do things the best way, the right way....consistantly.<< WRONG. WDW is the number one destination because flight fares and hotel accomodations are cheap in and out of Orlando, and WDW for one has discounted their product to very affordable levels. Add that how weak the dollar is against the Euro, hence the big UK crowds...etc etc. Granted, there is more to do at WDW than any other Disney Resort on Earth but whether Quality has something or nothing to do with it, is a debatable issue. People simply can't afford to go to Asia the way the do Florida, simple enough. And no... not all I say about WDW is negative. I have given it's positive praise where it's due. ..and as for what Ruth (or Jim?) said...I have issues with the some aspects of the WDW operation but since many folks are ignorant about the ways of the other Disney resorts, not just Tokyo mind you, the avearge WDW guest will never know who good WDW can really be. *THAT* is my issue. Many have not gotten a clue so they will of course be as content as a clam in a toasty shell. NOT ME. >>...I know what Im about to read is negative, or making me feel bad about my opinions because i am usually upbeat on things about Disney World.<< NONSENSE!!! That's your problem Blazes, not mine. NO ONE is making you feel guilty for liking WDW, in the contrary... I am empowering you with the knowledge to make you realize that maybe you are overpaying for the entertainment and quality you are getting out of WDW. If you like WDW then defend your point, and if you are happy with the quality of WDW then, go ahead and enjoy it. Me? knowing WDW has now become the most visited Disney resort on Earth, an honor that went to Tokyo for many years in a row, then I will hold them responsible to take advantage of that fact and the big money they are making to invest back in the parks and the overall quality of their resorts and theme parks, and that encompasses not just entertainment but maintenance, safety and what have you. I can kill myself telling you over and over where I am coming from but you and many others here miss the point and turn this into a TDLFAN debate instead... You just don't want to make a miniscule attept to see what my argument is all about, and I will continue to defend my views as much as you defend your precious "can't do not wrong WDW". I won't become a "Disney Apologist" for you or anyone.
