According to f.e. Candleabration I love it, that the celebration continues, it's just such a magical show !

But I still don't understand what the sense is celebrating the 15th during the 16th birthday  :lol:  Do they also keep the "15" on the castle etc.? I think that's just confusing for the visitors...

And are there no rumors of a new parade in the Studios anymore?

But I still don't understand what the sense is celebrating the 15th during the 16th birthday

Because DLRP surveyed over 5000 people all over Europe who preferred the celebrations above Mickey's anniversary.

Stars & Motor Cars parade is not confirmed yet.  If it will, I'll add it to the list.

Oh, poor Mickey Would have loved a celebration of his birthday! But I guess you said that the concept arts didn't look very good ! Where were the surveys?

And I hope the parade will be confirmed - or any other news this year !

Considering that none of the parks seem to acknowledge Mickey's birthday in a big way... my guess would be that the company doesn't want it its mascot that's supposed to be ever young to appear old by celebrating its 80th birthday...

Those surveys were done by an independent office, so I guess they used phone marketing.

But I guess you said that the concept arts didn't look very good

Thanks for trusting me on this one!   :lol:  :lol:  :lol:   It really was UGLY.   :-"

Offtopic; Any hints to why it was so ugly ?

[Kristof]

If I could give hints, don't you think I would have given them already by now??  :lol:  :lol:

can we have one little hint ? :p

anyway... i think doing 15 celebrations is sorta stupid... but i cant really complain about it since i love the 15th celebration parades/shows

New dancer units will be added to the Once Upon A Dream Parade to tie in with the "Celebration Continues". There are lots of possiblities including Octopus dancers (similar to Halloween parade) behind Ursula. Can-Can dancers behind Pinnocchio. More Jungle Animals with the Adventure float and standard "coloured cloud" dancers with the imagination float - lke seen on the press launch.

All will be confirmed soon...

Thanks for keeping us up-to-date poppy, we really appreciate it

Brilliant news.

Expecting them to cut down the parade after a year rather than add to it, this is a really great effort.

I'm looking forward to April now.

I am so glad that they are extending the 15th birthday for another year as me and my partner have not had the chance to visit the park during the 15th birthday yet and as we are getting married this july and we are going to DLRP for our honymoon we are glad that it will be around when we go

[WaltDisneyFanBoy]

Looking forward to another visit this year

Talking of celebrating Mickey's Birthday.. I wonder if any of the parks will be celebrating Mickey's 100th Birthday, I know it's quite a way off, but It gives them extra planning time!!! lol
