I guess it's sort of like how POD was supposedly based on 'dreams', but it was just floats from random movies. And for what CASP! was supposed to be, I think it does a pretty good job. It was supposed to be a quick filler parade to keep folks occupied between POD and the cancelled Flights of Fantasy that was supposed to come out this year. Instead, we got it for another year, and it's starting to feel a little tired. The cast is still fantastic and puts a rediculous amount of energy into the show (watch it from the third spot on a chilly day and see how sweaty they all are if you don't believe me), which makes it always fun to watch. They absolutely save an otherwise so-so production.

That said, I still look forward to a more traditional Disney parade.
Originally Posted By Hista98 the canceled parade was actually called World of Wonder Flights of fantasy parade was at DL in the 70's. I belevie all the floats will be based on different types of disney music such as a silly symphony floats and things like that maybe even fantasia floats. either that or all the floats will be decked out to look like music and concert things.

Originally Posted By trekkeruss <<I didn't get it on screamscape.>> Quite a coincidence then that they said almost the same exact thing as you. "I’ve been told that the park will launch a new special parade in early 2011 called Soundsational that will be very Disney music focused. This new show will replace the current Celebrate: A Street Party parade."

Originally Posted By Hista98 hahahha. Thats so funny Bob. Whenever Al says something or reports a rumor even without sources (which is all the time) you just trust him blindly.

This proves you have a blind bias towards Al for no reason. It helps to read other rumor mills as well just one can't be realiable. So if the news said the world was ending, you wouldn't beleieve it til Al said it? TSK!!!

Seeing old Disney characters shake their booty was a little weird. Were laughing at the dismay of people waiting all the way down Main Street, were going to wait a long time... what were they thinking?
