Originally Posted By dresswhites i agree.

Though Holiday Believe didn't really impress him the second time we saw it and he had no interest in seeing regular Believe. he loved Fantasmic, though. i think he would like Remember, too because all the firework surround you.

Originally Posted By Disney Joy I love the DEP ~ Fantasmic I can do with or without - mostly without. DEP music gets my motor running. Fantasmic - I only care for the part when Beauty and the Beast and the others go by.

Originally Posted By tinkerbell77 I love this parade. I remember it from when I was a little girl. I remember Pete's dragon blowing smoke on my face. I love the music, and all the lights. I saw it a couple of years ago with my boyfriend. He thought it was ok, but I was sitting on the street next to a little boy who was seeing it for the first time. I was kinda bummed last year that when I brought my kids it was on hiatus. But hopefully it will be still be around in Dec. We are going for our first christmas trip. But I vote to keep it the way it is. I love it!!
