So, giving parades a makeover like they have done and are doing, can actually sometimes be for the better. We'll just have to wait and see. anyone hear anymore about it?

So, WDW has been re-packaging parades in some shape or form for 25+ years now. Which is fine if there is a fresh theme and music in which to incorporate the recycled pieces. I think there should be some sort of time frame as to when to retire and ressurect items for parades. I do like interactive aspects of the parades such as the Tapestry of Nations/Dreams parade at Epcot or when characters come over tot he audience - but I agree the parade should keep moving and be interactive.

Originally Posted By leemac I think the last time I clocked it that parade ran at less than 15 minutes from start to finish.
Originally Posted By vbdad55 that seems about right, and a few weeks ago although there were still those who queued up for spots to watch the parade-- far less than in years past, more people on rides and avoiding the parade.
