Is Magic Kingdom's New Parade Really New?

Thursday, February 12, 2009

Technically “Share A Dream Come True” parade is no more. Although from what I saw on Tuesday 2/10, I would kinda of have to argue that.

For those seeing a Magic Kingdom parade for the time will not know any different, but those that have seen the parade literally hundreds of times probably will not like the “Celebrate a Dream Come True” parade. It started back on January 23rd and I hadn’t really heard anything good about it. So a friend and myself decided to go check it out and see what we thought..only way of knowing right?

Although a float or two are “different”, there isn’t much change to those. Throw some ribbons and balloons on it and call it a day. A few of the characters have been removed — Tigger, Eeyore, Piglet, Robin Hood, Tweedle Dee, Tweedle Dum, Baloo and Stitch, 6 of the 7 Dwarfs to name a few. As my friend said, “Don’t they know Pooh doesn’t go out without his friends?”. Apparently someone missed that memo. The villains is mainly the same, if NOT the exact same. And Snow White’s Prince Charming has been added with her. Oh and Bert is with Mary Poppins now!

This new parade does a couple of “show stops” (if you’ve seen the Hollywood Block Party Bash, you’ll know what I mean). The only problem with that is, unlike Hollywood Studios where there is bouncing and fun things happening down the whole street, “Celebrate a Dream Come True” parade contains dancers….dancing. And well, I can see them dance when they are walking down the street. The characters don’t seem to be the main part of this parade and that’s probably my main problem with this parade.

And to top it all off..I can not STAND the song. It was horrible when Corbin Bleu sang it on the WDW Christmas Day Parade and this isn’t any better.

Have you seen this parade yet? If so, did you ever see “Share a Dream Come True”? If you haven’t seen one or the other, what have you heard about it? I’m very curious to know!

But oh well, those are just my opinions on the parade..now for the good stuff..the pictures!!
