Originally Posted By ChiMike Again, a total misuse of resources. An incompetent. They can fund this when they already have a daytime and nighttime parade, but they can't fix Brer Rabbit or the audio at HM. They can't staff at levels they need to, but they can do this. >sigh<

It might be fun for the few dozen tourists waving sparkle flags and shaking tamborines next to Clarabelle Cow, but I can't imagine how this would be entertaining for the 99.9% of the rest of the paying customers who are the target audience. Very odd. The one bright spot is the marching band playing some very traditional Sousa marches. That's always fun to hear!

I can't wait to see how long this one lasts...Sorry for the rant but I just don't get it....

Originally Posted By kennect TP, Don't quote me on this but I want to say they were doing it three times a day when I was there...I might be very wrong in saying such...I know I got caught up in it twice...Once at the very beginning and the second time at the end of it....

Oh well, I should be happy, Disney finally has semi-quality toilet paper in my magical resort bathroom.
