Seems like an odd reason to cancel a parade. maybe too elaborate = too expensive in light of the economy. I just hope the rumors are not true. This parade sounded very cool with floats dedicated to all the theme areas of DL.

Originally Posted By FerretAfros For what it's worth, I've heard that they are tentatively planning on keeping the celebration theme for the marketing push through next year. With that in mind, it kind of makes sense that they would keep the street party, but I would hope that they could manage to do a regular parade as well. WDW manages to make it work with a smaller scale street party, and a regular parade as well. I would hope that they could do something special for the 55th, and a new parade sure would be nice...
