Very interesting take on the train, some of it seems rather odd, the idea of the Birdie song, well what more can be said  :lol: .  However using Hairspray, now that was something I was not expecting and a rather nice change to be honest, very high tempo and just fun :thumbs: .  However, the costumes of the characters look like something from a 1980's Jane Fonder workout video :lol: .  All in all doesn't look too bad, but will reserve judgement till I see it in person.

Well now, No new characters and the decoration of the train cobbled together from the last few incarnations! It looks like every expense has been spared! Another DLRP winner!

The costumes are just disastrous, tacky on every level. And it's a shame they didn't give the train a complete make-over, it's looking worse each year with the past years decorations still in place. I'm sure the show is fun though.

OMG - they take the horsedrawn street car and vehicles off for this? The dancers are a nice touch, but more evidence that DLP is becoming more of an expensive Butlins and less of a full family themed entertainment experience I have come to expect. You know it must be bad when even the rubber head fans seem to not like it either.
since 2001 (many before that)

What annoys me most is non Disney music in a Disney park. Did they not learn from the Stitch disaster?

My DD will love this, I will suck it up and pretend I like it to for her sake. I really was expecting a bit more. They haven't even really bothered to do anything to the train either.

....and the Chicken song?????????????????

This is possibly not massively different to some of the slightly tacky entertainments seen at Disney parks around the world for the last 30 years or so. The only difference is that they were an optional experience, in a theatre at the back of the park, not interrupting the whole of Main Street and Central Plaza with no escape.

Once the Castle Stage area has been repaved and the parade route re-opened, why can't it stop there? There's plenty of room to dance now the benches are gone. And we all know the European visitors love to join in and dance.....

I thought that it seems pretty okay. It's a shame they haven't really changed the colours or style of the train.

But maybe it will be more funny (Chicken song...?) and energising when you actually there.  :)

I also agree with littlemermaid83, I dislike the lack of Disney music. But it's not like there's no Disney songs that don't have beat. (Like in Celebrate! A Dance Party) They should use songs like "I wanna be like you" and "'Everybody wants to be a Cat". Or even the new Princess and the Frog songs.

I'm sorry, but this is just cringe-worthy... And it is just me, or does Minnie look really stupid doing all those fast modern dance moves?! She should be elegant, not cool! French Minnie's voice gets on my nerves more than English Minnie does, too.  :lol:
Anyone know what the platforms on top of the first and third carriages are for?

I presume its speakers since there is a live host on-board the train.
