As great as it would be to see Giselle again, it looks like she is definitely Rapunzel.

Now that I just wasted 15 minutes of my life with that little YouTube excercise, I'm thinking that new Soundsational Parade that Disneyland is getting next year is looking even more fabulous! Bravo Disneyland!
Originally Posted By WorldDisney LMAO, that was funny TP! That is pretty sad to see the same float in every different parade.

For one thing, it's pink and I think Rapunzel wears purple. But we'll eventually know won't we?

Originally Posted By LuLu I think Ferret has a good eye! The princess in front looks like the same piece of art he linked, flopped.
Originally Posted By gadzuux Anybody else wondering who the heck this Giselle is? Lord knows I try to keep up, but all these lesser princesses keep piling up and I loose track.

So this Giselle chick is just gonna have to get in line - we've got bigger fish to fry when it comes to pouty princesses!

Originally Posted By CuriouserConstance Come on now Gadzuux, Giselle and Rapunzel sitting around talking about hair all day long isn't the worse thing you can imagine, now is it?
Originally Posted By gadzuux I wonder if Jiminy Cricket got all dolled up in drag, maybe he'd finally get some respect. Seems you've gotta be a princess before anybody will pay any attention.
Originally Posted By CuriouserConstance Are you kidding? Jiminy Cricket is the coolest cricket around.
Originally Posted By Witches of Morva ORWEN: Oh, he's around, gadzuux, duckling. You just have to know where to look. He's in the parade at the Magic Kingdom in Florida all the time. And speaking of being a princess, I really envy all those pretty Disney girls in their royal gowns and such. Just think of all the princes they attract! ORGOCH: Think agin, sister! I don't think some a them princes is as interested in the dang princesses as ya might think! (wink, wink!)
Originally Posted By Witches of Morva ORWEN: Speaking of the princes, where are they? I don't see any of THEM in the parade!!! ORGOCH: That's 'cause they all got better things ta do behind the scenes, if'n ya knows what I means but yer so dang dumb I'd prob'ly half ta draw ya a picture ta git ya ta understand an' I ain't 'bout ta do that!!!
