The other characters (Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, Chip and Dale, etc) could all get into Mardi Gras clothes. In any case - they need a real parade back again - not another one of these "Street Party" things (like this year) - even though I **thought** was tired of the Parade of Dreams, what they have this year really makes me wish that was back again! Your thoughts/ideas??

There's going to be audience participation where guests board the Mark Twain and have streamers or something with live music. There wasn't much detail given about it but it's going to happen in time for the movie premiere. I would like to see a new electrical parade. Not a clone, but something new and original.

Have Goofy helping out. The third would be the biggest and best - That's How You Know - Leading with Mickey, Minnie, and Donald, have stilt walkers, bride & groom couples, mariachi band, and tons of dancing and energy. A minor/dark version of "So Close" could accompany a villain float, led by Narissa. The parade's finale would be Ever Ever After with all the princesses and prince living Hapliy Ever After in a castle float.
