Some of the changes are being phased in. The full new look and sound -- under the name "Disney Dreams Come True" parade -- will be rolling through Frontierland, Liberty Square and Main Street U.S.A. by August 10, give or take a couple of days, said Disney spokesman Rick Sylvain. He said the floats will get new embellishments to replace the snow globes. And a few characters will be added or changed. Perhaps the biggest change will be the music. The parade will take on and adapt the music used for Tokyo Disneyland's daily parade, with the lyrics revised to English.<<

Mind you... with a name like "Disney Dreams Come True", I would hope for it to be TDL's "Disney Dreams on Parade" 20th anniversary music. I can not see this being being the new "Moving on!" music version of the current parade format.. Anyways... TDL's Disney Dreams on Parade *was* in english to begin with but I am assuming some lyric changes necesitated the re-recording, whch was yet one of the factors that sunk the MK's attempt to reproduce the magic that TDL's version of Cinderellabration has. Oh well... I guess I will hold my judgement until late august.

TDL as you may know, was guilty of recycling the same 20th anniversary parade with this new music, and re-aligning the floats' order. So I guess the music we now have at both TDL and the MK will forever be known as the "recycle" new song.

Do, just to amuse me...and see what parade excels and what parade flops.

I especially like the C&D RR float and Brer Bear hanging out in the boat. I'll try and download the videos later this weekend. I have plans to go to WDW with the kids this weekend to blow off some steam. Thanks for the link TDLFAN!
