After the decision to have a stars and cars event rather than a parade, and the long lines for crush and TOT regularly crossing the park, does this mean that we will never see a real parade? Or might this be considered in the expansion plans?

Was there not talk a few months ago that we would get a parade from Walt Disney World. I think the talk was that:

• New Parade from Disney's California Adventure.
• Pixar Play Parade moves from CA to Disney's Hollywood Studios.
• Block Party Bash comes from DHS to Walt Disney Studios.

(The above could be totally false and been made up by me though)

Maybe in Walt Disney Studio's 15th Anniversary a new Parade will be created.

Don't think the studios will have a new parade for a few years, maybe once it gets a better parade route when the park expands, to be honest i've never really liked the parade route for some reason.

Yes, I remember something like that too Willow, but surely either of those parades would take up more space than SMC or DCP did? :?:

I thought that the WDS would get the Pixar Play Parade!

Someone from entertainment over in California confirmed a while ago that Pixar Play Parade is very likely to move over to WDS when they have their next shuffle-round. They didn't say when, but I'd guess 2012 as the earliest, which would also link in nicely with the 20th Anniversary and possible Ratatouille attraction.

Here's the article: http://www.dlrptoday.com/2008/04/02/sta ... confirmed/

"It's a part of a new strategy that we've been looking at for Disney parks in general, to allow us, when we have such a great product, to say — let's extend the life of that particular show or product by moving it to another location and getting more use out of it. So this is a part of an overall strategy, really focusing on parades, to say — how can we transfer those assets and use them in multiple places, since we know they're successful creatively, we know they're successful with the guests — let's get as much out of that as we can, so that more guests get to experience it than those that might just see it in one park in California.

"And now Pixar Play [Parade] – the intent is that it would be able to move to Paris after it has finished its run in California."

I'd love to see a parade running up Hollywood Boulevard at some point. It's probably wider than Main Street.
