Originally Posted By FerretAfros WDW used to do an all-out Easter parade, with flocks of southern belles, and antique cars, and the like. More recently, it's been scaled back to a pre-parade before the regular one; I'm not even sure if they do that any more (since it wasn't included in the announcement, I doubt it is) Check out LP's coverage of the event from 2005: <a href="http://www.laughingplace.com/Lotion-View-52.asp" target="_blank">http://www.laughingplace.com/L...w-52.asp</a> While it's fun to do the Limited Time Magic stuff, the Disney Parks Blog has also had a running series of 'remember when'-type photos of old seasonal events in the parks (DL and WDW), and it seems like they've lost a LOT of them through the years. I understand that not every small event is going to last for decades, but it seems that more have been cut than have made it. The pictures of what the parks used to do for Valentines Day were rather jarring against the Limited Time Magic promotion, which offered significantly less than they did in 1995, when it was a non-event that they just did because they felt like it.
