The procession is a delicate and feminine affair and aims to make the young girls in the crowd feel like Princesses themselves... I know I did. One note to point out about this parade... each float is equipped with deodorizers that permiate a different perfume fragance per Princess as they roll by.. making the parade route and show a most scented affair. Check the pictures from this year's procession... <a href="http://albums.photo.epson.com/j/AlbumIndex?u=4334673&a=32073506&f=" target="_blank">http://albums.photo.epson.com/ j/AlbumIndex?u=4334673&a=32073506&f=</a> I dedicate this to Leemac... hehehe!

Originally Posted By SuperDry Forgive me if I've said this before, but I always think that Marie looks like she'd be better suited at a Six Flags park. She seems much more like a Looney Tunes character than a Disney one. Maybe it's just me.

They always manage to help out somehow, or find someone who does speak the language. >>I do feel very disturbed when I see grown men enjoying this show... << I don't see why you would feel disturbed if I enjoy this parade..but maybe that would be because you put too much emphasis on show contents and fail to see the artistic thought and production values of the overall experience which at TDR, have always been higher than the other Disney parks.

I expect a story in any performance I watch. TDR isn't that great at story. I don't find this visual style (of Princess Days) appealing at all. There is just no consistency in the approach at TDR shows these days. Even the styling seems to change throughout the show. You know, different strokes for different folks.

Just because you're not the target demographic, doesn't mean you can't enjoy it. That whole "pink is for girls, and blue is for boys" thinking is old fashioned.
Originally Posted By leemac Very true. However it isn't just the pink thing. It is so flowery, camp and feminine. It is the perfect office ladies (and TDLFAN ) event.

Sometimes I think you just like to opposed others' point of view here for the fun of it, and not really for the sake of being honest about what you think, or at least that is how it comes thru in your posts. Otherwise, why do you feel so interested in participating in the TDR forum or even keep up with what happens in the resort??

It is clear I don't like the storytelling (or lack of it) in TDR shows. That is my honest appraisal of the shows. In the same way as you gush about everything at TDR. There is product I like there but it is a minority compared with the output as a whole. There is nothing at TDL I currently find outstanding except for Dreams on Parade and TDS there is nothing (although Sail Away and Mystic Rhythms are enjoyable if not stellar). <<Otherwise, why do you feel so interested in participating in the TDR forum or even keep up with what happens in the resort?? >> In the same way why virtually every post of yours in the WDW General section is negative and makes comparisons to TDR. For me, it makes business sense and in light of the fact that we are one of the primary sources of information about upcoming TDR plans that is why.

You don't need to apologise to me about liking the show that is your choice. I think I find the show so ghastly that I am so surprised anyone would like (let alone you). So my wording of that post was a little skewed.
