So, If LPers were in charge, what kind of parade would replace it? RetroMagic? A 50 year look back...

Originally Posted By LuvDatDisney I'd like to see simply a new updated nighttime parade. TDL did it with Dreamlights, after Fantillusion, and the MK is still showing SpectroMagic.

Some people with simple temperments might find them insulting, but I would guess that's their problem. I don't see how a post on a Disney message board could ever make a person feel a certain way, unless said person was very weak-minded and/or lives to be find insults everywhere. But I do think I know one cause of the anti-you sentiment amongst some other posters ---- jealousy. You are so damn lucky and get to see every Disney resort on earth annually. Heck, I doubt you go a week without setting foot in one resort or another. I doubt there are many people, whether here at LP or anywhere, that could say the same. With that, you probably have far more knowledge about how Disney presents its product in each resort than anyone else here. That can breed contempt. Some people, not myself, may feel inferior because they'll never even get to Anaheim or Paris let alone Tokyo and Hong Kong. So even if you aren't attacking them, they feel insecure and go on the offensive. I wouldn't let it bother you. And I wouldn't ever edit yourself just because someone might be offended. I enjoy what you write you lucky &*%^$%&$^!" I think I agree with this statement. As for Spectro, sadly, I've never gotten to see it in person, so I can't really say I like it or not. I've seen videos and heard the soundtrack, but that's not the same. Every time I've been to WDW, I've missed it. And when I did see the nighttime parade, it was when the MSEP was back for a short run! Hopefully it won't be gone before I get back though! I'd like to see every Disney nighttime parade at some point!

I don't mind the MSEP music and parade but Spectro's soundtrack is one of my favorite at WDW which I guess probably adds alot to the parade (for me). <<As for Spectro, sadly, I've never gotten to see it in person, so I can't really say I like it or not>> Please go and see it! I know some of the comments in this thread may have been negative but I still love the parade and i'm sure you'd enjoy it too!

As a family we have watched it some times there and other times we use that time for other attractions being less crowded....just depends....
Originally Posted By TDLFAN >>I've seen them all now, granted I saw Fantillusion at DLP, and I still think Spectro is the best.<< DLP's Fantillusion is a bad shell of what this awesome parade used to be at TDL. As usual...anything that comes out of TDL to other parks, gets borrowed in miniscule forms... See the puny Cinderellabration show at the MK, and HKDL's semi baked version of TDL's 100 yrs of magic parade.

Jim_n_Ruth, you're having the same reaction to TDLFAN that I had in my early days. I don't know what it is, but the little sucker can really rub you the wrong way! Trouble is, he likes it that way, and seems to be proud of his special gifts. Once you learn to take him as is, you're gonna get along fine, just like I do. Right, TDLFAN???
