At least the guests who were lined up prepared to watch the parade (if they were not Disney addicts like us)were able to undersatnd that these theme parks and movies were created by a man, not some corporation. I do not care for the new parade. Granted, it is not much different, just different enough and especially with the Julie Andrew narration gone, it just isnt good. just MHO. __________________

So it's been awile since I've really, really enjoyed a parade!

Originally Posted By sassystitch Lately, when Disney makes changes, they seem to be taking away "special" parts (i.e., Imagination (with Figment & Dreamfinder), most of the parades, too much of a good thing (the ticketed events that close the parks early & seem to be extended every year, i.e., Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, etc.). Change is great & expected, but our hope is that Disney will achieve better with every change. We have all come to expect that from our beloved Disney & when they don't live up to that expectation, it is disappointingly obvious such as the missing narration tht GalDisney referred to above.
