If Disney is serious about improving DCA then this should be casualty number one. It's time for something new.

Originally Posted By dresswhites i agree with churro monster. this parade has seen better days. i wouldn't mind if they retire this parade for good. and mean it this time. yes i know the Electrical Parade is a fond memory of many, including me, but just because it part of our many good memories of disneyland doesn't mean it should play forever. America Sings is part of memories of Disneyland, but it doesnt' mean that i would necessarily want it as attraction today. if they have to keep it, please, please update with modern technolgy and some floats that referenece movies made after Pete's Dragon. i mean a little mermain float and Beaty and the beat float would be cool. they could keep the circus train, the Alice units, and maybe elliot, but add some new floats. The dumbo's circus and to honor America floats are really dated, in my opinion. plus with Peter Pan fighting hook on the Columbia nightly, does make the Peter Pan float seem very unimpressive. LIke i said if they have to keep the parade, add some new elements. maybe have steve davison work on it. oh i saw the video too. it was very cheesey. i wanted to hit cinderella, she was no annoying. She was about as grating as Snow White when she appeared on the Oscars with Rob Low. All the dialouge of the characters during the parade were pretty bad. Plus none of the dialouge was really from the parade;. I dont' think Snow White, Cinderella, or peter pan speak in the parade.

It's got updated technology (millions of lights, not thousands) and an updated score that's still true to the original. <<<and some floats that referenece movies made after Pete's Dragon. >>> Like Dreamlights? <<< Beaty and the beat float would be cool. >>> Like Dreamlights? They also added Toy Story. <<< maybe have steve davison work on it. >>> I don't know who did Dreamlights, but the work has already been done. It's about 3x the parade that MSEP/DEP is/was, but I doubt that it would ever come to DLR because of cost.
