You could possibly see Jiminy Cricket in it for instance... Actually if things go as planned with Jiminy currrently you will start seeing him regularly in Fantasyland with Pinocchio sometime in May... It looks like this is all that the MK will be getting for the 35th this October... Oh well, I'll keep you updated...

Thanks for the quick heads up Riverted... nice to see you posting again. Though I have to admit... I really really was hoping the MK would get a brand new parade at least at the end of the year, but am not surprised this is a minor thing since that's all they do now a days.. Keep us posted.
Originally Posted By riverted Yeah, other new characters will be Brer Fox & Clarice Chipmunk... But when they will start using them is really anybodys guess... It should be soon though... The Studios in May will be getting the Little Einsteins at the Hat area & Chicken Little will be going to the Hat also...

I sure hope they bring in a real choreographer for this new parade revision, with new music of course. I'd hate to see Clarisse doing pushups, jumping jacks and low impact cardio as is the case with the current chorepgraphy, which is bad bad bad...

TDL reworking their great three-year old parade and passing it off as something new or improved for the next 2 years until the Silver Parade rolls out for their 25th. For OLC.. that's pathetic. >>I have two more words: Party Gras.<< I have three words for you: Already been done. Or have you forgotten the 20th anniversary Carnival Parade which was a spin off of the Party Gras at DL?? Personally... I would love a parade like TDL's, where every land of the park gets it's tribute... Hmmm.. come to think of it.. That was done too: Tencennial Parade. But who cares... 97.3% of LPers here do not go that far back.

Ouch. A five-year run for a parade at TDL? That's the WDW influence. >>I have two more words: Party Gras.<< "I have three words for you: Already been done. Or have you forgotten the 20th anniversary Carnival Parade which was a spin off of the Party Gras at DL??" No. I didn't forget. That was a cool parade too. I was just referring to the big celebration DL had for its 35th vs. what will be no celebration at all at WDW, so they can keep milking this Happiest Celebration campaign for all its worth. "Personally... I would love a parade like TDL's, where every land of the park gets it's tribute... Hmmm.. come to think of it.. That was done too: Tencennial Parade. But who cares... 97.3% of LPers here do not go that far back." I go back that far ... and farther too. Tencennial was an awesome parade, Didn't it run for close to 30 minutes? "Wouldn't it be great if they finally gave us the much anticipated 30th anniversary parade for the 35th??? " Nah, they're saving it for the 40th! ;-) Besides, this way WDW can go from celebrating 25 years of magic to 100 years to 50 years to 40, makes perfect sense to me. Sounds like the accounting work of some Team Disney numbers geeks.

Get NASA to strap a couple of extra shuttle solid fuel boosters to the bottom of the wand tower, and then launch the whole thing into the Atlantic in one big whoosh! Whatta cool show, eh?
