Having a ton of people brace up the park's walkways would only make it worse. >>>Any word on changing the name of the parade on the drum?<<< I have heard they won't. :-( Though, they will announce it as DISNEY'S Main Street Electrical Parade. Eh. It's a little detail, and one that should be fixed, but I'm just happy at the moment to have something new for the summer.

Was your thought that its return to either park would further complicate guest flow? And at the event I was told the drum will stay as pictured but the dialogue will be MSEP. Wonder what they will use on merch?? By the way I acknowledge that the idea of bringing back something that "glowed awaay forever" may not be something they would wish to do for a variety of reasons.

Originally Posted By EPCOT Explorer OH! Duh! Sorry, Rebekah, thought you meant it back in DCA. Honestly, no idea why they didn't sent it back to DL.....with the 55th and all, it would have made sense. I guess they feel that WoC alkne will be a draw for NT and the Resort. Eitherway..glad WE have it. :-D so happy to have a old favorite back. Also happy to hear that it will at least it will have the right announcement for it. ;-) The pins listed in the ODPT site read Disney's EP, btw.
Originally Posted By -em It bothers me just a tad that it'll have 2 names.. So far the merch/pins have been "stolen" from DCA (which saves me cause I bought the pin oh 4 years ago) which both say DEP.
Originally Posted By EPCOT Explorer I'm trying not to be OCD about the two names and trying to believe that try can't fit the full announced name in the drum, and that's why it's shortened. I know. It's sad. Ignore my insanity.
Originally Posted By disney pete Rebekah you guys are sooooooooooooooooo lucky what a fantastic experience i can only dream of how it must have felt to be backstage and up close to the parade,bit sad we won't get to see it this year as kristine has never seen it.

I was doing a excellent job believing myself!!!! ;-) Agreed, though....laziness..... Or perhaps the stipulation of loaning/buying it from Disneyland calls for no modifications.
