Disney does offer a Calvacade on the days that the Parade is not offered. This is bascially what is offered when a parade is rained out. Just a few of the Main Street Vehicles and some characters riding them. Something to watch, but only lasts about 5 minutes.

Originally Posted By Disneydanny IMHO Parade Of Dreams can stay. what theyyy need is a Nightime Parade for DL. Keep Disney's Electrical Parade at DCA and why not make a carbon copy of Dreamlights for Disneyland that way guests can see the Electrical Parade in both forms.
