Disney Cinema Parade will have its last ever performance today, and it seems only right that we dedicate a topic to the first and only parade of Walt Disney Studios which would have celebrated its sixth birthday this June.
Remember the first or last time you saw it? Any favourite floats, characters, designs you'll miss? Share your photos, videos, thoughts, memories, farewell messages here...

Farewell DCP :-({|=
I only ever saw it once, in my last visit. We nearly didn't bother. I'm glad I did though because I thouroughly enjoyed it and will be sad i only got to see it the once. Goodbye DCP! :cry:
I've re-uploaded our Disney Cinema Parade photo album and added a couple of new photos in.

Au revoir!!
Thank you for making the pain even bigger :cry: :lol:
Nice farewell gallery!
Aawww.... it wasn't the biggest spectacle but always something nice to see :)
It's stupid that we get the cars parade :( That one is even older than the cinema one!

I was hoping you'd return those today!
Well, the final performance has been and gone. :(
So long, au revoir Disney Cinema Parade! You were a cute and original parade with a great abstract flair and a consistency throughout the floats and costumes that far too many parades miss. You gave us something truly different through all those years when Disneyland Park continued to wear out the tired WWODP and were a wonderful first parade our favourite little park.
Enjoy parade heaven! Say hi to ImagiNations for me! :mrgreen: :ears:
I liked the parade, especially the song...it's really a catchy song.
I haven't seen it last year because we were so focused on all the new things we didn't have time. But I have seen it the years before. I didn't find good pictures but I thought I'll post them anyway.

It's such a shame that it has to leave so soon, I still can't see why they can't run it until the new parade arrives. Good bye old friend, you will be missed on my next trip :cry:
I will miss the DCP, but I can see why they're replacing it. When I saw it the other day there lots of thing that were broken or not working, the dancers looked really bored, and some of the floats didn't even have characters on them. So, I'm kind of glad their replacing it, but it's just a shame I'll never see it in it's proper working condition ever again.
Yeah such a shame this one, of the 5 times we have visited, we have never missed a performance yet.

It will be a real miss.. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:
Au Revoir CDP ! ! !
Nice topic
I won't miss the parade myself, because I wasn't a big fan, but can apreciate that many will do. I'm more upset with the fact its gone and left us without a parade. Did anyone see this parade today?
Baloo and raptor1982 will you guys be dedicating any kind of tribute page to this parade on any of your site's?
The first time I saw this parade, it was a mistake. We didn't think there was another parade in the resort, so we heard the 10min announcement and soon saw Goofy making his way to where the Monsters Inc photo-location now is. It was a really hot summer's day and we had an incredible view that we've never been able to beat since.
Was a lot of fun so see something extra and that really helped us enjoy it more. On later visits, it was wet, dull and no show modes (let alone the mini floats and props etc). The summer they brought the show modes back made a huge difference. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSX-5JozQWo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSX-5JozQWo)
It's always a shame for something that is exclusive to DLRP to suddenly disappear, just because it was poorly maintained. Because it was, it then didn't make sense to repair it before it's replacement arrives.
Can't believe WDS will be parade-less!
as much as we loved it, it's about time :?
i didn't know studios was getting a new one until i looked at the photos this morning. what will it be? can't wait :stitch_bounce:
I'm quite sad, I loved that parade... :cry:
I won't miss this parade much either , thought it was a little dull and the comment about the performers looking bored is right . They should have had something to take over straight away though.Just watched the video of the new Pixar Play Parade at Disneys California Adventure and that is what a parade should be,lively ,energetic ,great floats and happy up beat performers !! Put the WDS to shame !! More dancers in it than I think the whole of the Studios has as CMs ! Although not everyone would be happy about all the Pixar characters ! (The vid is at http://www.laughingplace.com (http://www.laughingplace.com) )
Bye Bye, Cinema Parade! :)
Has anyone made some pictures from the last parade? ^^
I won't miss the parade so much either... I'm looking forward to seeing the Stars & Motor Cars Parade in the future :)!

Reading an article in DLRPToday it hints that the Pixar Play Pals Parade is being lined up to take over Stars and Motorcars at the Studios in the future once its run at DCA has ended. If it has all fell apart by then anyway.
Bye DCP, Although I never seen it but I have watched videos of it and thought it was really great, Please return for just one more year so I could see it in person! :cry:
I always enjoyed it; sad to see it go. :( The music :D/ was definitely the best thing about it. I'll have to watch it again on video from now on, but that's ok, we can all look forward to the new parades.

Totally agree with what you wrote, cant wait till DSAMCP comes though"
Thats disney stars and motor cars parade btw :)
Myself and Poppy were lucky enough to see the final DCP, and although the weather looked threatening to ruin this special occasion we were lucky to only get a few spits of rain. I myself had been thinking that, yes the grooms were looking a bit bored, yes the floats are getting tatty, yes there are lots of cuts and yes the dancing leaves a lot to be desired but still, its a cute little parade and I still loved it! Buuuuuut...its last performance was brilliant!
Many of you might have noticed the many cuts made by the company to reduce costs such as the lack of roller skaters, giant Mickey gloves, dancing traffic cones, the massive fence on wheels and the (better) more complicated dance routines (especially the show stop). However, Poppy and I were pleased (if not thrilled) to see the return of the skaters, gloves and fence for the final performance. Even the Mary Poppins float had 2 new grooms (on foot) doing the original choreography. The boxes worn by 2 grooms on the Cinema float came back, even Gideon made an appearance on the Clapperboard next to Geppetto. It was a truly energetic performance and the parade will be sorely missed.
A few pics from the last DCP:

Nice to see it went out with a bang! :D
i will miss it i enjoyed it. our favorite time was when we went in march, matthew and i got to sit on mickeys float. he was in his element, everyone was waving as he was waving to them, he obviously thought they were raining jusgt at him, mind you some of the time they were!!!!
it is sad to see it go
but like what walt disney said......
keep moving forward
this means great to greater to greatest to even more great
Always liked that parade, glad I took the time to film it last visit.
Why wait for the new parade though, there should be something straight way especially if we're just getting something shipped over from the states.
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is bad news to hear that the cinema parade is over!:(.....Anyways i am dedicating a video of the disney cinema parade for all of you Fans who love this parade!
Cu And hope you like it!

I agree, it's sad to see it go, but another thing Walt Disney said was "As long as there is imagination in the world, Disneyland will never be complete". This can be applied to the WDS and the DCP. New ideas lead us forward into the next round of parades. No one parade can last forever without being superceeded by another. :wink:
Nice video, thanks for sharing!
You are just right Javey ;)

Hehe,your welcome,its good to hear that you liked it!
Cu
I enjoyed it, and we're sad discovering, there were no parade in studio when I went this summer. I actually got a little angry, and thought they'd cancelled it because of High School Musical, but reading there is going to be a new one, makes me really glad:D I hope it's going to be as good as "Once upon a dream parade", but offcourse with a movieset touch :D I can't wait to know more!
Instead of starting a new topic I thought it would be best to post this in here.
The Cinema Parade music background music was just playing in the background of the Bird's nest stadium in Beijing. It 100% that music, was a bit surprised to hear it first.
That sounds really strange! LIGHTS CAMERA ACTION and then the sports?
I don´t like the using of disney park music outsite a disney park. It´s a bit poor IMO :(
Anyone , know why it stopped?I loved that !
It was stopped so the Cars and Stars parade can come next year :wink: , also stated many times during the topic.
I work at Disneyland Paris as a parade performer..you can see this old parade left outside backstage to rust, quite near the building where we rehearse - it is quite sad really :( I'm surprised they haven't given it to another Disney Park, or at least kept it nice in case they ever want to bring it back!
All of the other floats that are in use for Once Upon a Dream, Stars 'n' Cars and Fanti are being maintained constantly every day and are kept inside, which is good to know!
xxx
Well I suppose if they havent got the room to keep them, then the only other place for them is outside :/
Maybe they should wrap them in tarpaulin?
Good to hear that the other parade floats are constantly maintained... :D
I have just heard the entire soundtrack of this parade. And I can say it is the most beautiful parade song in DLP history. I miss it.
It used to be one of my favourite parades when I was a kid. I really wish they kept it.
I saw that Parade just once, but it was very good!! I am sad that is no more in the park.
