I don't quite understand Fantillusion. The big floats for Ursula, Jafar and Maleficent are kind of bulky, borin and ugly looking.

When they transform into the monsters they look much better, but it seems they only transform once, in the middle of Main Street. 90% of the time they're in their non-transformed boring mode, which seems a waste.

The floats transform twice during the parade. Fanti has 2 showstops. The first Evil Villains showstop is on Central Plaza, the second showstop is in Main Street (if the parade is starting at the gates near it's a small world).

Ok thanks for clearing that up. So Town Square isn't exactly the best place to see the parade then. I wonder how many people are aware that the floats only stop twice to perform their transformations?

The parade was designed for Tokyo Disneyland's massive parade route & originally had 31 floats. For most places on their parade route, you were guarenteed that each section of the parade would showstop in front of you.
Paris on the other hand has 12 of the original floats, and although all 3 showstops were orignially performed, for viewers on central plaza, they've messed with the parade so much that you can only see 2 of the showstops wherever you stand;
So, the excellent Good vs. Bad story that the parade originally brought is kinda ruined...
It'll never be back how it was designed to be either because DLP don't allocate a big enough cast  :roll: Not many people will know that when black light is shined on the side of Ursula's float, she has loads more tenticles that are hidden for the "moving" sections, oh how brilliant an idea this parade was *sigh*

The places where you'll see the Enchanted Garden showstops are Main Street and Town Square
        ''                   ''            the Evils Villains showstops are Cental Plaza and Main Street
    ''            ''                ''      the Happy Ending showstops are The Royal Castle Stage and Central Plaza

We have never seen Fantillusion and going for the first time in a couple of weeks  Would you say the best place to see the transformations is near the hub on central plaza?

I saw it on the hub in July and it was a fab spot. We were sat on the pavement sort of a quater of a way around, if you imagine that the big stage is a clock, we were at 9 o clock    Saw the Jafar and then Aladdin stops.

This time though, I'm gonna try it on Main Street 'cause the underliner is less in your face and you can hear the float music more clearly + I've never seen the Enchanted Garden showstop so should be good  :lol:

Well, appararantly the Main Street Electrical Parade is on it way back to Paris at some point but that could be 2 years away

I just hope they bring either light parade back to an all year round attraction!

Strangely last night, the enchanted garden section of the parade featured none of the winged performers, but instead Donald, Daisey, huey, dewy and louie as well as Chip & Dale! The Enchanted Butterfly garden, Ursula and Beauty and the Beast floats were all missing though.

Here's the evidence!

It's actually quite nice to see those characters in a parade again! Just a shame they're not somewhere where they don't distrupt the continuity of the story!

Does anyone know where I could find the Main Street Electrical Parade/Fantillusion documentary "from one lightbulb to another"? I've been looking for months with no luck

[Disneyland Paris Treasures]

I might help you with that, check your PM

A little late, but I don't wanna hold back these unique photo's for you guys. I went to DLP for 4 days in december and saw Disney's Fantillusion Parade during a show blizzard! We were almost alone at the parade route in Fantasyland during this performance and it was the most magical parade I've ever seen! Enjoy!

Great pics, Tuvok!
I was there too when Fanti went out in a blizzard! I don't believe it didn't get cancelled! A very rare experience :lol:
