I would do away with the satin clad dancers at the front of the parade and lead off with Chip and Dale as usual and then leave in Alice and the Mad hatter/Playing cards and the toy soldiers to make up for the loss of those floats, As usual DLRP take the easy and cheap way out and beggar the audience, after all its low season!!!

Just to clear some things up here:

- It's not possible for DLP to have the seperate music loops they have during the normal parade. With this short parade, there will be 5 floats at Central Plaza at the same time. If all of these floats should have their own music (and their seperate underliner loops should be broadcasted via the speakers on Central Plaza), the music would be one big mess. It's too much loops in one space. During the normal parade there are only 3 floats on Central Plaza at the same time (parade mode and showstop mode).

- During the first public performance, they used Dreams of Romance II, but found out that, on Central Plaza, everything was very cramped together. During the second performance (and so on) they've replaced Dreams of Romance II with Dreams of Romance I, which is much shorter so the parade has more room to maneuver. As a result, as you can see in the video, having the Disney Princes & Princesses in front of the float, looks way better!

I didn't think about that tbh, I suppose we are lucky the parade is still on and will have a fantastic trip whatever happens :)

We are just back from an extra one-day trip so we could see an enjoy the shortened parade. We liked the group of dancers at the beginning of the parade. The music-loop is not boring and it's great to see all the characters do a choreography-routine on the same music. Dream of Romance I was still in the parade witch means that 5 princess-couples where dancing in front what was a amazing picture. We are looking forward to our trip in 3 weeks so we could enjoy it again :-)

I do agree with that - Dreams of Romance II was out of commission on my October 08 trip, and every day the Princes and Princesses walked/danced the whole parade route, I thought it was fabulous and it increased the interaction from them during the parade.

Looks pretty good. Although saying "Disney's Once Upon a Dream Parade's route is modified" is a bit iffy. Too many possessives, and it should probably be "has been" or "will be" modified. Sorry, had to say it. Do DLP really still not have a fluent English speaker around for these things?

On another note, I'm surprised it hasn't been rebranded as "Disney Once Upon a Dream Parade" yet. :mrgreen:

I guess it's simply a trapping of having to translate from French, possibly on a tight deadline... Happens even to native speakers when translating in a hurry, from my own experience. Of course it still boils down to a question of organization.

Is she still in the parade now? I cannot find any reaction, image or video of it, which supprizes me a lot.
