When an Universal park is able to do that.. then tell me, why is the MK (or even DL) not doing the same????

Originally Posted By TDLFAN It's in. I have all 4 Dreamlight version CD's. AS you may know, the parade has been "renewed" with new floats 3 times already since it premiered. Spectro has only received few minor changes to the *existing* floats. And I am not even mentioning that TDL has had TWO (2) small rainy evening and totally different show substitutions for Dreamlights.. The retired one being this one small affair called "Rainy Night Fun: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=549OF0hOKPQ&feature=related" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...=related</a> ..And the new one being "NightFall Glow".. a 4-float rainy night replacement for Dreamlights, when weather is inclement. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyfwYqQ920g&feature=related" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...=related</a> So to recap.. since the MK premiered Spectro Magic in 1991.. we at TDL have had the TDL Electrical Parade, Fantillusion! Parade, Dreamlights Parade, the two rainy night parades above and to some degree, the evening only special event "Blazing Rhythms" parade and TWO different evening Halloween parades which have been soomewhat different from the daytime ones, with unique evening only music. I can not see the MK spending that much money on special evening entertainment..ever.

I am sure he/she would love to see the *original* version of the MK's current stage show "Dream along with Mickey" from TDL's 20th anniversary in 2003. (Don't you love it when most of what guests in the MK see today are small samples from what we enjoyed at TDL years ago?) in Three parts (and pirates free): <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWfxW4n77rY" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...xW4n77rY</a> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7eau-zpd6jY&feature=related" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...=related</a> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uG9QPaaDls&feature=related" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...=related</a>

Apart from your pro-management stance for lesser quality, the point of my posting links to those videos is to show everyone else that there are better ways to do things at the MK, in hopes of making people realize how royally cheated our experiences at WDW really are. YOU my dear 3D are the least of my worries. You are doing a great job of showing everyone here who you really are. You don't need me to help you do that. But know this: Regardless of your opinions, I will state mine as well when they are needed. Since I have about 38 years of experiences visiting Disney parks worldwide at all 5 resorts in the World.. I will use my knowledge to counter point your ignorance when due.

BTW, in ref to live parades and lip synched teeth & armpit shows that Walt "adored"... He's dead, has been for quite some time. Move forward w/ somthing (anything) new instead of a fake parade on a fake street.
