The Fate of the Parade of Dreams?

[Luke Manning]

I really enjoy this parade, & its music. In my opinion, their best Daytime parade EVER! But I unfortunately heard a rumor that it might be moving to WDW. Is there any truth to that? And if so, when might it happen?

How often to parades get changed, well I'm sure they can always replace it with something better

Re: The Fate of the Parade of Dreams?

Haven't heard that one, but seems unlikely. Doesn't make sense that they'd want a float in WDW with the DL train station. The 45th parade stayed around for 5 years; my guess will be this is the same. In the days gone past, the current one would've already been replaced; they only lasted a year or 2. Since I'm not much of a day parade guy, and have never wanted to see one twice, the old way would be better IMO.

A bientot.

So long, farewell ... you know the rest.

I'm sure the next character based parade will be more of the same.

The Block Party Bash has been confirmed to be moving to WDW -- perhaps that's the source of this rumor/urban legend? The representations of the Disneyland train station and castle, and the heavy use of gold (50th/golden anniversary) makes that unlikely, I think.

They can't do that! There, that's settled!

POD is a 5yr parade. They can do better... It could change, but last I heard, was it will be here for another few yrs.

Well, if they do a Holiday (Christmas) version - Parade of Holiday Dreams - as the successor to Christmas Fantasy, the castle, Beauty and the Beast and lead float would be retrofitted for a holiday theme, and the castle and Beauty and the Beast float can be merged.

Re: The Fate of the Parade of Dreams?

The Block Party Bash is the one moving to WDW. POD has at less 2 more years left at Disneyland. And I really don't think they will move POD to WDW. Cause of right now alot of the floats need manger repairs like Simba they need to redo his main, Geptto from Pinocchio's float need to be fix up as well as Ursula. When I was at DLR last Friday her voice wasn't working onces again and as the float stop to do the dancing. Ursula float started to have a water pipe broke and water when every where. But the good news is they had back out the fish kites that they first had when POD first started in 2005. So there's alot to be done to the parade. Hope they fix them all up durning the dark time they have for it.

Re: The Fate of the Parade of Dreams?

I wish they WOULD move it to WDW. I am so tired of the POD!!!

Re: The Fate of the Parade of Dreams?

Of course, they would be a new parade for the 55th anniversary!! They will probably move it to WDW, but after they make some MAJOR repairs to it. It is already falling apart.

Re: The Fate of the Parade of Dreams?

With the complaints about the opening float, it can easily be modified to the Magic Kingdom's train station.

But I really enjoy the Parade of Dreams. Best daytime parade, as I said. Plus heck, it's a teenage boy's dream!

Re: The Fate of the Parade of Dreams?

I don't mind this parade going to WDW as they don't often have parades of this caliber.

Re: The Fate of the Parade of Dreams?

Do you think its reached a stale point?

It certainly lacks the timelessness of the electrical parade, that's for sure.

Re: The Fate of the Parade of Dreams?

I just wish they wouldn't recycle floats and then rename the parade. As an example the Fantasia 2000 parade had floats that ended up being recycled and placed in the 50th... some new floats, but completely new name. It didn't help that they had a similar theme. Personally I would rather see a completely new and original parade... but that's just me.
