Disney's Stars 'n' Cars officially premieres at Walt Disney Studios Park from
4th April 2009!
Original Post, when the parade was rumoured to begin as early as Summer 2007:
Quote from: "raptor1982"From Mr. Entertainment on DLP.info about the Stars and Motor Cars Parade:
This Parade will REPLACE the Walt Disney Studios Parade ( aka PDS) as of summer 2007.
It is possible that not all of the characters and/or vehicules will be present in the Walt Disney Studios Paris version. No further info is available at present however.
No, no, no, no, no, noooooo!!!! The Disney Cinema Parade is the best! It deserves to run for more than 5 years!!
In total opposition to the Disneyland Park parade rumour, I really hope this one isn't true!
Good another person against this, well I already knew you would react like that Ant :lol: , after all you were the one against me with Cinema was the best parade :P , though I totally agree this parade should not end after only 5 years, maybe bring back the parade stops and the cinefolias cast at the beginning if they are not already back, but not stars and motorcars, that's a rubbish parade that should not hit Paris, unless it's a morning parade and not the main feature parade it could work that way :wink: .
you cant get rid of pds, my fav parade of all time, the best parade for me to be in, bert is the best to play in the [parade! i love doing it, sooo much fun
"survived" on Disney Central Plaza forum briefly mentions that this parade may debut in April 2008, to close the 15th Anniversary celebrations...
This makes much more sense, and to me actually makes the rumour seem slightly believeable!
Here's the post: http://forum.aceboard.net/931-3467-8635 ... eautes.htm (http://forum.aceboard.net/931-3467-86357-0-DLRP-mois-festivites-nouveautes.htm)
PAT u cant bring back the interactons in pds, they suck! they're horrible! but if they were to adapt them then yes i think they should! but i prefer the parade without the stops!
Well what it is is just the length of the parade I remembering lasting longer with the interactions than without, it would be nice to have them back, though not essential in many ways the end interaction is good enough for people standing outside Animagique and Flying Carpets :wink: , though I still stand by my view that it would be a step backwards to bring Stars and Motorcars to Paris, after all to me it's not even classed as a parade.
Quote from: "PATMAGIC"I still stand by my view that it would be a step backwards to bring Stars and Motorcars to Paris, after all to me it's not even classed as a parade.
I totally agree. Maybe for a year or two, but they just can't replace Disney Cinema Parade with that thing!
I'm still holding onto the hope that it might just be that they'll bring it to the park to be a full second parade... they could run it at night time and pretend that all the stars are on their way to a movie premiere!! With all the nice lighting in various colours from the big lighting rigs/towers across the park I think it'd look awesome and provide such an amazing atmosphere to end your day with... :D It would be a perfect time to introduce it too, since hopefully WDS will begin to open later once ToT opens... *dreams*
I've uploaded our Stars & Motor Cars parade photos!

I can't agree more. Last week I saw Disney's Stars & Motorcars Parade at the Disney-MGM Studios. I haven't seen any parade (except for SpectroMagic and this one) because I don't care much for parades. But I wanted to see this one because of the rumours that it will pop up some day at our Walt Disney Studios. And man, I was dissapointed. The cars weren't that impressive at all, and the soundtrack sucked big time compared to the soundtrack of our Cinema Parade. Don't get me wrong; I would be happy to see Stars & Motorcars at our Studios, as long as it is an extra. A second parade, but not as a replacement. Use it as new nighttime parade as Baloo mentioned, or maybe replace the current Good Morning Walt Disney Studios cars with the cars of Stars & Motorcars. Please don't get your hopes to high on this one. :?
It seemed that the Star & Motorcars rumour died a slow death, but now it seems that we might get the parade after all. Al Lutz wrote an atricle at //http://www.miceage.com/allutz/al032707b.htm;
QuoteOnce the Entertainment Department is done rewriting the definition of a white Christmas, they'll be hard at work putting the finishing touches on the new parade headed to DCA in April, 2008. The current working title for this large-scale parade is "The Pixar Play Pals Parade," and you can probably already guess who the stars are going to be.
DCA's Block Party Bash isn't being mothballed in the parade warehouse however. It will be boxed up and shipped out to Florida next winter where it will debut in the Disney Pixar Studios park for the spring.
Yep, the Disney/Pixar Studios. Say it again, and then yet again, and learn to love it, because as we mentioned before, that's the new working title for what used to be known as the Disney MGM Studios theme park. When the Florida version of Midway Mania opens in May, 2008 the plan is to debut Block Party Bash at the same time to clearly cement the Pixar presence in the rebranded theme park.
Privately, the folks at Disneyland's Entertainment Department are a bit hesitant to send the Block Party package out to Orlando however.
So what happens to Disney's Stars & Motorcars Parade when Block Party Bash will debut in the spring of 2008? :wink:
I hope it get demolished and that our studios get a brand new parade!
Quote from: "Japper"I hope it get demolished and that our studios get a brand new parade!
Who said that Stars & Motorcars will replace the Cinema Parade? Mr Entertainment? Well, his summer 2007 prediction wasn't reliable, so who knows? It can also be a second parade (Good Morning Walt Disney Studios) for example.
it would be great if they had the cars as a extra parade but they cant remove the cinema parade if anything the studios needs more shows and parades :ears:
adding more would make people want to stay for the whole day and not just a few hours :ears:

I totally agree with the second parade idea - Stars and Motor Cars just doesn't seem right for that usual early afternoon slot... but as either a morning or evening parade, it would be perfect!
I think it might be safe to say that this time in exactly 12 months we'll be welcoming the Stars and Motor Cars to Walt Disney Studios... It's funny - as D-MGM goes Pixar crazy and loses its nice "Hollywood that never was", we get Tower of Terror, Hollywood Boulevard and (well, maybe) Stars and Motor Cars all at the same time! :lol:
I hope if we do get it, that DLRP give it their own spin, like they did with Wishes. :wink:
QuoteStars and Motor Cars just doesn't seem right for that usual early afternoon slot... but as either a morning or evening parade, it would be perfect!
I agree aswell but if they kept DCP and get rid of the Good Morning Walt Disney Studios Parade then the Stars and Motor Cars Parade will be in the morning to have a larger morning parade.
*BUMP*
So as you might have read (//http://www.photosmagiques.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2899), Block Party Bash has been confirmed for MGM and that leaves Disney Stars and Motor Cars without a home...
Interesting. :)
I must say I dont like the cinema parade... It looks cheap a bit, it is old and it can not be compared to the regular disneyland parade at all. That is what i think is one of the reasons people can not take walt disney studios the same way as disneyland park. I just hope it will be replaced by something new
I've got to say that having the stars in motor cars parade coming over to paris is something that I hope will happen, due to the fact that the cinema parade is unfortunately becoming old and is starting to show it's age. To have that come to paris would be the icing on the cake for the studios --- 4 new attractions + HSM and other entertainment + Toon Studio and Hollywood boulevard theming + a new parade = :o :wink:
Why is everyone saying Cinema Parade looks old :? , it's only 5 freaking years old, my god we lived with Classics, WWODP, WWODP (Revised version), Princess Parade, WWODP (the 3rd revival :lol: ) and then Princess Parade (Revival) for a whole 15 years :P , how can the cinema parade be old. To me the parade is not looking any worse for wear and since they introduced the show stops it definately has reversed its popularity to me.
I really hope Stars and Motorcars does not come to Paris, it seems like the most cheap and boring parade idea Disney ever had. Plus the Cinema Parade's theme of making a movie fits so much more to the Walt Disney Studios and don't anyone try to backfire with oh but we have Hollywood Studios. It's still a movie MAKING studio, not a Hollywood that never was, aka Disney MGM Studio. If it does have to sadly make its way over the ocean hope it is used as Good Morning Walt Disney Studios, or I feel it will be the end for the great morning parade :( .
At least DCP looks like a Disney parade, which cannot be said from Stars and Motor Cars. It looks as boring in real life as it's on pictures.
Yeah I don't call characters in cars a parade.
More like traffic in the middle of a theme park :roll:
I don't want the SAMCP to come to WDS too. This parade has nothing special. It's just almost the same as the GMWDS. For me the DCP can stay for a couple of years. I like this parade. It has a great theme which goes through the whole parade and a lot of nice characters. And this parade doesn't look by far old.
It's not that I don't like the Disney Cinema Parade, but compared to the OUADP, it becomes more and more... well, maybe not boring, but really a bit "old-fashioned" and lazy... don't get me wrong, but I'd have nothing against a new parade for the studios after 6 years!
The picture of the Toy Story car I saw on dlrptoday was great I think! Okay, I haven't seen the SAMCP in reality, but I think the idea of nice coloured, shiny cars with all our favorite studio characters is really great and fits much more to a studio, "filmy" movie park?! :)
Disney Cinema parade try to look like a Disney parade but it looks LAME because of the ridiculous size of the floats and the uglyness of it. Whereas Motorcars parade is much more in the Studios theme. It's a procession like we could have seen in the big Hollywood Premiere, it's totally Toon Studios. The characters shoot their movies in TS then go to the premiere at Cinémagique :D! When I Saw the MOTORCARS PARADE in Florida last septembre, I thought it ws a lot of fun. LOADS of characters and the music is great (with the arrivals comments like in the premieres and big events.). It will look less cheap than the DCP which is a total mess.
I didn't liked the Stars & Motor Cars Parade, The first time I saw it was good but to me, It looks like a bunch of traffic with characters & dancers walking in front of the cars. :|
As for the Cinema Parade, At first I didn't liked it but I've started to like it since Minnie's float broken down, I must be intrested into breakdowns. :wink:
Stars and Cars will arrive in 2009!! DCP was due to be phased out soon (running only on weekends then not at all from March 08') but the full time running of the parade has been extended for the time being.
Thanks for the info Poppy, do you know if all of the cars will be coming over or will some of the cars be cut like when the Fantillusion parade came over from Tokyo?
Yeah I heard the DCP would run only on the weekends starting october. Does that still in the plans Poppy ?
Quote from: "The Butlin Boy"Thanks for the info Poppy, do you know if all of the cars will be coming over or will some of the cars be cut like when the Fantillusion parade came over from Tokyo?
I doubt the Star Wars, Playhouse Disney & The Muppets cars won't be coming to DLRP.
Yeah,
Any maybe just maybe .... they could add in a few themselfs! :lol:
Like a huge cheese car for the Ratatoullie characters? :o
Probs not :(
Quote from: "Kinou"Yeah I heard the DCP would run only on the weekends starting october. Does that still in the plans Poppy ?
Hello Kinoo,
They have changed this for the time being and the parade will continue to run everyday until January, when it will most likely be cut for good.
No news yet on which cars are coming, but it is sure that the star wars and muppet cars will not appear.
Thanks Poppy the Monkey for the updates.
For those who want to see photos from the parade, I've uploaded the Stars & Motor Cars parade album last week here:

(link updated)
I quite liked the star wars one shame, I dont expect to see the power rangers either, but the idea of a ratatouille one sounds fun, I like the look of the parade - we will have to wait and see I suppose
That Luke Skywalker looks a bit dodgy though, and what happened to Leia's buns? :?
Problem is with having a Star Wars theme is that the actors faces are so iconic now to Star Wars that it seems a bit lame having a 'lookalike' in a parade. Doesn't matter with Vader and masked characters.
Maybe we should have a car full of slave girl Leia's, then we wouldn't be looking at their faces.
:lol:
I really like this parade (unless the power ranger unit...). Lightning and Tow Mater are soooo incredible! I think kids go crazy when they see them.
Quote from: "Imagineer"I really like this parade (unless the power ranger unit...). Lightning and Tow Mater are soooo incredible! I think kids go crazy when they see them.
I'm not sure if we will see Lightning McQueen and Tow Mater in the European version of Stars & Motorcars since they are already featured at Cars Race Rally. Or maybe they will use the cars in the parade as the "real" characters and the cars at the attraction as props.. but I think it will be too unclear. :wink:
with all the possible cars missing mentioned in this thread, am I the only person who thinks this will be little more than an updated Good Morning Studios parade? :?

Good idea, And whenever a fan, asks one of us shall say that Mickey had made clones of Lightning and Mater.
By the same logic you can't have Mickey wandering around because of the statues of him in the parks.
:?
Quote from: "Dark_Prince"By the same logic you can't have Mickey wandering around because of the statues of him in the parks.
:?
Sometimes it is impossible to have a statue and the "real" character at the same time. Think about Mike at the Monsters Inc. Scream Scene for example. But there is a difference between a statue (Toon Studio entrance, Fantasia Mickey etc) and a statue trying to represent the character (Mike, Lightning McQueen etc)...
Well, thats the point I was trying to make... we have to find out wether the current cars at Cars Race Rally are ment to be the characters or just props/statues. Remember that there is a huge difference between a statue Mickey (at least the few in Disneyland Resort Paris) and 2 cars at an attraction which are identical to the moving characters/cars like they can be seen in the Star & Motorcars Parade. There has never been a Mickey statue making people wondering if it was the "real" Mickey character or not. With Lightning McQueen and Tow Mater it's a different situation.

So, does that mean that there will be no parades at WDS in January?? :(
Any idea when is the last day for the Disney Cinema Parade??
Quote from: "anthony2k6"with all the possible cars missing mentioned in this thread, am I the only person who thinks this will be little more than an updated Good Morning Studios parade? :?
I think so too. :? The cars are very nice, but it doesn't feel like a "real" Disney parade.
Hi
I'm off on Sunday. What parades can I expect to see in the Studios then?
The parade is the studios is at 1.30pm, it has characters from mickey, minnie, chip 'n' dale, toy story, mary poppins , pinoccio etc..... it is good. I know it's silly to say but we go to see it everyday as no two days are the same as a character may do something silly or someone may be added or taken away. I would also recommend going to see the stunt show and the studio tram tours too.
noooooo they can't stop the DCP is soo good. I mean the floats, dancer and the music, 'lights,camera,action' is the bes no way should it be scraped. As someone else said we put up with the WWODP for 15 years this is only 5 years old. Please Disney don't get rid of the DCP, please!!
some of the parade on the mgm video on the blog... Have to say I dont have that big a problem with this, its not ideal(lack of interaction) but the current parade to me is old and tired.
Its would be nice if the parade was re designed though using the cars and a mixture of some floats to make it less like traffic passing by. The Characters are to stagnent in the cars in its current form
No word about this new parade in the new summer brochure. If this was comming they would probably advertise it in the section NEW along with Tower and Stitch. On the other hand no word about old cinema parade as it was in the old brochures like the Winter2007 one.

Maybe they are thinking, "why should we play out all of our cards at once???" Maybe they've got some little extra surprises up their sleeve for us or maybe when the rush is over on ToT and Stitch! they "introduce" these little extra things (new parade, new fireworks?, etc) ;)
I've just read that Disney Cinema Parade will be finish 31 March. Is it correct? It's means that Disney Stars and Motor Cars Parade comes to the studios this year, definitively?
From page 2 of this topic:
Quote from: "Poppy the Monkey"Stars and Cars will arrive in 2009!! DCP was due to be phased out soon (running only on weekends then not at all from March 08') but the full time running of the parade has been extended for the time being.
So will the studios be parade-less ? :?
:(
No, it sounds like DCP will be extended until the new parade begins.
Next year is a good decision. Now that we're actually in 2008, it'd probably be a bit too much to get a new parade on top of everything.
Things at Disney change so fast though, and the latest news is Disney's Cinema Parade will be last performed on April 6th 2008.
No news yet on when Stars and Cars will premiere - watch this space though!!
I'm really curious about the Stars & Motor Cars parade :)! Are there any concept arts or something?
Yes! :D

Nala: if you want to know more about the parade, you can browse back a couple of pages. Everything should be explained there. :D
im going in september this year which parade do u think will be in the studios
If you have read the posts above, you already know there won't be a Cinema Parade. High School Musical on Tour 2 will be on until the end of September.

we didnt get to see high school musical last year we kept missing it when we were there we will try and see it this year :)
I know there is little love for the Motor Cars parade here, but I kinda like it! The trouble with DCP is that it was always going to be a very pale imitation of the parade in Disneyland Park.
This, albeit, not a "parade" fits with the theme so much better than DCP. Vintage cars, Hollywood glamour. I like it!
That said, I always remember when the parades in MGM were virtualy annual. They were themed around the latest cinema release. I always remeber the Alddin parade. It was great, low on cost, but high on entertainment. Maybe one day we could get something of that calibre

I totally agree. Haven't seen it for myself, but I definitely like the idea. I used to always say DCP was the best parade at DLRP artistically, but then as soon as OUADP arrived... uh oh. You notice everything - the unhidden speakers, lack of detail... Since they're never going to be able to beat this for a WDS parade, going for a totally different concept like the classic cars is a great option. I only hope the more unique cars such as Playhouse Disney and Star Wars are kept. One of the problems of OUADP/DCP is that the characters are all the same.

A very good idea!! A new parade for each new release would be much nicer (and more effective) than another billboard on Studio 1.

Pfff...amen to that brother! That hideous boards must be shot down....
But such themed parades where common in the old dlrp days, weren't they? The aladdin parade, lion king, etc? Same idea i guess? :?:
The last ever Disney Cinema Parade will now be performed on 30th March! Catch it while you can.
More news on stars and cars should be coming out soon...
Another March, another parade goodbye! :( It's had a good five and a half years. Any news on what will happen to the floats?
So will HSM On Tour be taking the place of a parade this year?

No offical news on the floats at the moment! I did hear the camera, can and cinema will be kept along with the truck but nothings confirmed.
A modified Good Morning Walt Disney Studios and HSM will indeed be taking its place - along with a new show on production courtyard stage featuring the puppeteers! (But thats off topic sorry!! :P )

I will definitely miss it. :cry: Hopefully I'll be able to catch it before it goes - We might be going from 26th-28th March. :lol:
I don't really understand why they want to stop the Disney Cinema Parade so suddenly? Why don't they just wait till the Stars & Motorcars arrives in Paris?
Quote from: "Poppy The Monkey"No offical news on the floats at the moment! I did hear the camera, can and cinema will be kept along with the truck but nothings confirmed.
It would be wise to keep some floats indeed, for special events or small shows or something. But please, get rid of the truck and the cinema! The two most hideous floats in the entire parade in my humble opinion. I would rather see them keeping the Camera (Peter Pan), Costuming (Minnie), Movie Can (Mary Poppins), Director (Donald) and Film Strip (Toy Story) floats haha... almost the entire parade. :wink:

Puppeteers? Can you help me, I don't really get it? :)
So there is no scheduled date when the DS & MC Parade will start? :(
Will it be in 2008 or 2009?
Quote from: "Maarten"Puppeteers? Can you help me, I don't really get it? :)
Would those be the ones who did Alpha Bet You Are and do the OUADP puppets?

It sounds like it'll be in 2009, paired up with Playhouse Disney: Live on Stage and maybe some stuff at DLP for a new entertainment push?

Block Party Bash will start in just 2/3 weeks over at Disney's Hollywood Studios. I'm not really sure which date has been set for its premiere but I assume it was something like the 10th of March. The floats already arrived from Anaheim in January. In the meantime Disney's California Adventure will get the all new Pixar Play Parade, while Walt Disney Studios Paris will receive Disney's Stars & Motorcars Parade from Disney's Hollywood Studios in Orlando. There hasn't been any official confirmation about this parade coming to Paris, but it's most likely according to sources both in Orlando and Paris. Besides, this parade has been rumoured for years now. Its just a matter of time before Stars & Motorcars will be confirmed. :)
Yea Baloo your right about the puppeteers. Sorry I should of explained that better.
And the Cinema Parade will enjoy a final encore - with the FINAL performance on MONDAY 31ST MARCH 2008!. (but be there for the 30th just in case it changes again!!)
Also re: Stars and Cars - at the moment DLRP are looking at buying ALL the cars!! Including Power Rangers, Star Wars and Playhouse Disney!! (I really hope that doesn't change too) [-o<
more news soon I hope....

Good news! It will definately give the Studios a much needed boost of characters. I'll keep my fingers crossed. Just think about Darth Vader and Startroopers in our Studios! How exciting!
this is great news cant wait to see the new parade it was time to put dcp out of its misery and cant wait for darth vader and stormtroopers.
is there any actual conformation from Disney that the DCP will be axed?
Quote from: "Poppy The Monkey"Yea Baloo your right about the puppeteers. Sorry I should of explained that better.
And the Cinema Parade will enjoy a final encore - with the FINAL performance on MONDAY 31ST MARCH 2008!. (but be there for the 30th just in case it changes again!!)
Also re: Stars and Cars - at the moment DLRP are looking at buying ALL the cars!! Including Power Rangers, Star Wars and Playhouse Disney!! (I really hope that doesn't change too) [-o<
more news soon I hope....
that seems to be the last information so lets pray [-o<

I'll be there from 26th-28th March, so I'll have to see it before it goes forever. I'll probably film the thing as well so I can look back at it in the future.
I'm looking forward to new parade though! :D
According to Scremscape (//http://www.screamscape.com/html/wdw_-_hollywood_studios.htm), Disney's Stars in Motor Cars Parade is due to end on Saturday March the 8th.
How long do you think it would take to import it across to Paris? :-k
Okay...soooo until Stars and Motor Cars arrives there will be Musical Sets in the Studios. Apparently featuring Mary Poppins, Bert, Penguins and Chimney Sweeps. Rehearsals for which are already being planned.
{EDIT} THE MARY POPPINS SETS ARE GOING TO BE A 'HAPPENING', not in the Studios but in the Disneyland Park, sorry for the misleading info! {EDIT}
And just like Poppy has said, 31st March is the last ever DCP, but with a twist...more characters and an extra sparkle of pixie dust, have no idea exactly what's planned but it should go out with a BANG!
{EDIT} Will the giant hands and traffic cones be making a comeback for the last DCP?? Apparently anythings possible! How exciting!!?? {EDIT}

I heard the same about the Mary Poppins set, although I don't know where it will be located. Any information on that?
I think it's a great idea those musical sets. They should developp them more ( A Pinocchio and Gepetto puppet show in Fantasyland, Tam Tam players meets Jungle Book gang in Adventureland...) and replace Cinéfolies if they have to :D !
I was there a month ago & watched DCP & you could clearly see how rundown the floats were (Dirt & moving parts not turning) but all in all a great parade & will be missed :!:
After seeing how great the Pixar Play Parade (//http://micechat.com/forums/showthread.php/preview_pixar_play_parade-92017.html) is (the new parade at DCA) I really hoped that we would get a pixar-themed parade too! The Stars and Motor Cars Parade just seemed so old and outdated..

But they are getting it for the price of its shipping to Paris (cheap), rather than having to somehow pay for an entire new parade (expensive).
I've always loved Good Morning WDS, but the real test for me will be if they bring over the more unusual characters like Playhouse Disney, Star Wars and the Muppets. If they do, it'll be very very welcome.
What about the music? A new soundtrack could really help, especially if Vasile Sirli was involved.
The same soundtrack as in Florida would be a bit awkward if you ask me... It's been used for Good Morning Walt Disney Studios, The Red Carpet and now for Shooting Live... I'd say: bring it on Vasile!
I don't think WDS needed a new parade, i mean what was wrong with the old DCP, it was greate and still good looking in my opinion!
Quote from: "Its Just Like I DreamedIt"I don't think WDS needed a new parade, i mean what was wrong with the old DCP, it was greate and still good looking in my opinion!
Are you kidding? The floats look very old and shabby and its lacking sooo much energy. The music is good though. And if it had more dance (maybe even choreographed dance) and a decent show stop then yes, it
could be very good - like it was...ummm...5 years ago...but sadly it is to be burned. Maybe they'll use it for fuel on the Guy Fawkes bonfire? hehehe.
However saying all that, I think Stars and Cars won't be an improvement. I like seeing a lot of dance in parades. Characters are good, but there needs to be a balance. And besides, Toy Story is already in DOUD as is Mary Poppins and Snow White. GRRRR! Get it right Disney Paris, please...at least try and do something different and outrageous with lots of continuity for once! Dont be so boring and give the people what they want ](*,)
Well that's my moan over and done with for the eveing...
Its Offical!
Next Season (2009) is when Disney Stars & Motorcars parade will be premiered in paris.
On monday, the disney cinema parade went out with a bang (apparently)
and next year disney stars and motor cars parade will be in paris!
Quote from: "DLRP Today"On Monday, Disney Cinema Parade took its final bow. Today, official confirmation that Florida's Stars & Motor Cars Parade will be its successor has finally come from within Disney. What's more — it sounds like the Pixar Play Parade could be its successor!
The Walt Disney World fan podcast WDW Today has scored an exciting exclusive not just for their own fans, but for Disneyland Resort Paris too.
In an interview with Walt Disney World's producer for special events and projects, Thomas Tryon — the man charged with bringing Block Party Bash over from California, we can finally hear the first ever official confirmation to the public that Disney Stars & Motor Cars Parade is heading to Paris.
Transcribed excerpt from the interview:
Quote from: "Thomas Tyron, WDW show producer""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.
"So that was also a part of the process of decision-making — what kind of strategy do we use to move parades, what are the parks that get connected together, and how is that designed to function? In this case, Disney's California Adventure was most comparable to the Studio here in Florida, and in the same way Walt Disney Studios in Paris is also comparable.
"So those three parks are working together now. We moved the Disney Stars and Motor Cars Parade to Paris, and it will be a new parade for them next season ..."
» Source & More (//http://www.dlrpmagic.com/today/2008/04/02/stars-motor-cars-finally-confirmed/)
Well at least we've finally got some confirmation of a new (sort of) parade in the Studios.
Quote from: "DLRP Today""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."
It is quite weird actually, on of the first things I thought when I saw the first pics and videos of the Pixar play Parade was how I could see it happening in the Studios, which I think will be great, but part of me wants a new unique parade in the Studios :)
Quotebut part of me wants a new unique parade in the Studios :)
Didn't we just had that? :wink:
Quote from: "raptor1982"Quotebut part of me wants a new unique parade in the Studios :)

Another one! :roll: :lol:
it would be great when Pixar Play Parade comes to our studios, but i think stars and motorcars ar not so bad at all.
U have to think that we disney fans know the parade for years, but what is with the regular guest for them it would be new.
and i think disney don´t border if we little group of DLRP fans don´t like it thet much. What is when the pixar play parade comes over here in lets say 5 years we don´t wanna se them anymore because its old or do i think wrong?
Since Disney Cinema Parade went and Stars & Motor Cars Parade is coming next year, Is there a parade or old pre-parade in the studios for about a year?
Quote from: "The Butlin Boy"Another one! :roll: :lol:
Somthing unique and new to our resort will always be a great thing, but DLRP is still in the situation where it has to be careful how to spend money. Recycling a parade that'll still be unique to DLRP is a great idea.
Perhaps EuroDisney S.C.A. will ever reach the same position as OLC in the far future? :wink:
Not keen what so ever in seeing Pixar's Play Parade in WDS as I think it wont exactly fit in well with the current park
OOOH! I hope they use Cruella's car! I love Cruella's car, but shes a terrible driver!
I just discovered, Why didn't they just re decorate the Good Morning WDS cars?
Because there are/were only about four of them, and they're hired from a nearby collector each Summer season.
I'm not sure, but I'd imagine the SMCP ones were built from scratch, a bit like parade units dressed to look like old cars? Does anyone know more about the parade from when it premiered in 2001? Would be good to get some Disney fun facts...

The cars are indeed build from scratch, except for two which are real oldtimer cars (the car with Mickey and Minnie at the end and another one I forgot)... so technically its quite new. Another fact is that several cars have been removed (like the Hercules car) while others were added (like the Power Rangers).
Thanks Maarten. Hercules seems to have been wiped from history for some reason, so that doesn't surprise me.
I think this is the full listing of cars:
- Power Rangers
- Monsters, Inc
- Toy Story
- Mary Poppins
- The Muppets
- Star Wars
- Mulan
- Aladdin
- Hercules
- Evil Villains
- Lilo & Stitch
- The Little Mermaid
- Playhouse Disney
- Snow White
- Mickey and Minnie
Fifteen possible cars, that's a long parade for Paris. In a dream world, cars for The Incredibles (maybe Mr Incredible's actual car?), Ratatouille, Jack Sparrow and the White Witch from Narnia would make great additions.
Let's just hope Philippe is a parade fan and we don't get another Fantillusion axing...
I found out today from Cast Members who worked in the parade that the Power Rangers car and the opening car (which changed to a recent movie) stayed in Orlando.
Quote from: "raptor1982"I found out today from Cast Members who worked in the parade that the Power Rangers car and the opening car (which changed to a recent movie) stayed in Orlando.
I don't think this is too surprising. I have often wondered why they do not do much with Power Rangers at DLP (licencing issues perhaps). although I am not a fan, my two little ones love them to bits.
Well the Cars are in Paris!!
I saw them about an hour ago in the backstage storage hanger and counted 13 they were....
- Monsters, Inc
- Toy Story
- Mary Poppins
- Star Wars
- Mulan
- Aladdin
- Hercules
- Evil Villains
- Lilo & Stitch
- The Little Mermaid
- Playhouse Disney
- Snow White
- Mickey and Minnie
Sadly, this means the cars took the storage space of the floats of the Disney Cinema Parade, only 2 floats are being saved for now "Cinema" and "Pinnochio", the rest are about to be distroyed.
The cars have been transported really well and are in great condition, but still we'll have to wait AT LEAST until November to see them in the park!!!

Thank goodness, I would have hated to have seen the Power Rangers in the Studios, although I wouldn't have minded the opening car though :wink:

Wooooo! It's great to hear that they are in Paris. And they've got the Star Wars one as well :mrgreen: It's a shame about the Cinema parade ones though :cry:
Wow, that's really great news, thank you!!! :) :D/
I'm most excited to see...
- Monsters, Inc
- Toy Story
- Mary Poppins
- Mulan
- Aladdin
- Lilo & Stitch
- The Little Mermaid
- Snow White
- Mickey and Minnie
...well, that's almost all :lol:
You said November?! That would be so great if they started the Parade for Christmas Season, so I could already see it in December, but let's wait and see :)!
Cool that they are now at the studios!
Like the choice and like also that there are no power rangers cause I hate them :mrgreen: maybe not the best merch decision but for me great!
What I miss is the muppets car. :(
Cool that was rather fast, especially compared to the transportation of fantillusion, which took over a year to even get the floats ready to perform :lol: .
What I am looking forward to is Hurcules, now that is a car I didn't think Paris would get, this is really good news, to see a variation in characters in the parade at the Studios, compared to dlp :D .
Quote from: "Riebi"What I miss is the muppets car. :(
Exactly, that came to mind here aswell. Hopefully its in Paris, since the castmembers in Orlando said that only the Power Rangers car and opening car stayed overthere. But nonetheless, an excellent line up, I never expected Hercules in our Studios. I cant wait to see the Star Wars, Evil Villains and Mickey & Minnie cars once again.
Maybe the Entertainment Department in Paris can spruce the parade a bit up with some additional dancers and/or characters compared to Orlando's incarnation?
Wow, that's bloody fast!! Great news Poppy. Like to see that one on my next visit. Another great addition to WDS. It's becoming more and more a real day spent parc :D
My like to see list:
- Star Wars
- Mulan
- Aladdin
- Hercules
- Evil Villains
- The Little Mermaid
- Snow White
- Mickey and Minnie
It really great that DLP have introduced a new parade to the European audience however I have a few worries:
Stars and motor cars whilst a good parade its has never been an amazing parade not very detailed or that exciting more simple than the newer parades. SO if DLP start making cuts to its i think it will be a really poor parade. Will be interesting to see if the R2D2 robot wil make it over.
Also there is a lot of spoken English in the parade, i know they often say things in multiple languages however this can sound a little odd and broken up I would hope they keep it in
English or all in French.
Will DLRP use the Hollywood Holly-day parade Christmas overlay, I hope so its a really great change for Christmas with not that many changes.
Quote from: "Soap"Another great addition to WDS. It's becoming more and more a real day spent parc :D
Technically its more of a replacement of the Disney Cinema Parade. Im not so sure if it will extend one's hours within the park that much compared to last year. :P
Here are some backstage photo's of the cars :)
(this are not my photo's, but they are taken/uploaded by someone else! I just found them on the internet and reuploaded them on imageshack

Thanks Japper. Obviously very exciting and interesting to see, but since we've got a policy of no backstage photos allowed, I've put them into spoiler tags pending a final decision from raptor1982. We don't want to get into trouble here.
Edit: We're making an exception on the photos for now. :wink:
Thanks Japper! I can see the Muppets car after all, its between the Alladin and Little Mermaid cars.
By the way, a bit offtopic; I always wondered where the storage for the Studios' parades is (like you can see in the pics). I assume they won't travel those floats and cars to the storage behind Its A Small World every day right?

Off topic i know but...
The DCP floats used to be stored just behind the Chaparral theatre. Once the parade did its last performace most of the DCP floats were (until
today) moved to the main parade building (behind Small World).
Today, they were destroyed *sheds a small tear*
Back on topic...
Every now and again we can see the cars being driven around backstage, the drivers seem to be having a lot of fun :P
Quote from: "Maarten"I can see the Muppets car after all, its between the Alladin and Little Mermaid cars.
Unlike Disney's Hollywood Studios, we've no Muppets attraction on our studios. So, just a thought, can it be the Muppets car will just feature other Disney characters?
I heard a few of the DHS cars will be rebuild and rethemed to different movies but I don't know which ones yet.
Have you also heard if there's a chance that the parade could start this year's winter season? [-o<
At the moment the parade(s) are previewed for the Christmas Season, with the offical launch next March.
But the plans are at the moment is for the parade to be split into 3 small parades - 3 times a day using 4 or 5 cars different for each parade.
I really hope they change this and put the parade out in its full form.
Quote from: "raptor1982"I heard a few of the DHS cars will be rebuild and rethemed to different movies but I don't know which ones yet.
For some reason I've got the feeling that certain Pixar properties will replace Star Wars, Muppets, Mulan and or other rare film proprties in the Stars & Motorcars Parade.
Quote from: "Poppy The Monkey"I really hope they change this and put the parade out in its full form.
Me too. I hope they will keep it one parade.
I never saw this parade 3 years ago due to there being a very bad thunderstorm the day we were at DHS, as a result the parade was cancelled :( So I'll be interested to see it if/when it comes to DLP :)
Thanks for the info Poppy :)!
I really hope they won't split the Parade, but no matter how many cars there'll be, it'd be great if they'll start it during Christmas Season :D/ So I can probably see it, too!
Today the Parade Managers announced that Stars and Cars will be similar to Florida by name and floats ONLY. Paris inteneds to produce and entirely NEW concept featuring new dance units, 'skill' units (stilt walkers, sky runners), and characters. The characters mentioned are Pixar - Incredibles, Ratatouie, Robinsons (highly unlikely), and the old Nemo float from DCP. Rehearslas are due to start in December with the opening in March 2009.
It would be nice to see maybe a few Bugs Life characters thrown in here and there but that idea like the Robinsons one, seems pretty farfetched. I also highly doubt that Paris will be using the Playhouse Disney, Aladdin, Mermaid and Muppets floats, but we shall see...
Thanks for the info Zanderstarz!

I think Stars & Motorcars can highly benefit from dance units and skill units between the cars. It is hardly a surprise that they are planning to add The Incredibles and Ratatouille, but who even remembers The Robinsons? Hopefully they will keep Playhouse Disney, Star Wars and the Muppets (although I fear the last two won't be part of Paris' Stars & Motorcars). Playhouse Disney however would be a possibilty since we will get Playhouse Disney: Live on Stage aswell. Until then I'm positive about the plans of plussing the exsisting parade with dance units... Can you imagine this parade being superior to its first incarnation?! I hope Paris will do the trick. :wink:
QuoteRehearslas are due to start in December with the opening in March 2009.
Why didn't Disney Cinema Parade run till Christmas?
That sounds far better then this splitting-nightmare. I´m also hoping for Star Wars and Muppets!
That sounds good! A classic disney parade in the disneyland park and a 'new characters/pixar' parade in the studio park! Just like in anaheim (Parade of Dreams and Pixar Play Parade)!
Oh, so it won't run in December? :(
Quote from: "Nala_84"Oh, so it won't run in December? :(
We don't know yet, but we will keep you and the other trip planners posted when soft openings will happen. Don't worry!
Okay, thank you :)!
I guess I shouldn't get my hopes up too high, and if the parade or at least soft-openings will run in December when we'll be there, I'll be the more excited and happy about it ;)!

Currently the work name is "Disney's Stars 'n' Cars Event". Yes, that's EVENT, not parade. Early reports indicate that the original parade will be split up into three groups of cars that will come out in the park at the same time and entertain guests at the stops on Backlot, Production Courtyard and Toon Studio.

Thanks Raptor! I have heard this news a few weeks ago and I am still not sure what to think of it. On one hand I would like to see it in a normal parade mode, on the other hand this new concept could work really well. However, is it really Disney's Stars & Cars Event or rather Disney's Stars &
Motorcars Event? Not that it would make much of difference anyway, but I have to ge used to the slightly altered name (remember Toon Studio
s- Toon Studio haha).
The concept art I've seen says "Disney's Stars 'n' Cars Event".
The name is horrible. I was hoping it would have been changed again by now.
It's very hard to say without the "Motor" in there, there's too much "sss". Makes me feel like I've got a lisp.
I'm going to suggest Disney Stars & Motor Cars Moments to all the entertainment directors who almost certainly don't read this forum. Event sounds like a one-off thing, just a single event, whereas it seems like they want to run this parade like how they run the Toon Train trailer in Front Lot at the moment and with several "moments" happening in each studio lot.
Quote from: "Baloo"The name is horrible. I was hoping it would have been changed again by now.
It's very hard to say without the "Motor" in there, there's too much "sss". Makes me feel like I've got a lisp.
Really? I always thought that "Stars and Motorcars" was a horrible mouthful. "Stars'n'Cars" sounds a lot easier to say to me - and I would suppose that most guests would leave out the "Motor" anyway... but then again, this might be different for native English speakers. Don't know. But "Stars 'n' Cars" seems to be the better name... at least for me.
"Disney Stars and Motor Cars" flows, it's rhythmic.
"Stars 'n' Cars" is just dumb, sounding a lot like one of those roadside dyslexia tributes from the 1950s: "While-U-Wait", "Seat-O-Matics", "Tastee-Freez". But I'm sure it's better suited for the pan-European palate.
I've never liked the name to be honest. Still don't understand where they are using the pixar cars, but the Muppets-to-POTC conversion has got my attention
Event?! No parade? :(... And right, the word "Motor" is definately missing :?
Quote from: "Nala_84"Event?! No parade? :(... And right, the word "Motor" is definately missing :?
I think by now, it is just the working titel. So everything ist possible to change the next month. I think, nothing to worry about yet.
I personally like the idea of the "event".
I sounds like there could be much more interactivity then it would be in a parade.
Guest can get closer to the cars, AND to the characters. And thats very important for the guests. Furthermore, the whole atmosphere could get more jolly. If you compare the fun and the streetsmosphere of High School Musical for example. People get easier in the mood to make party on the street. This could work really great with Stars n Cars, too!
And, not to forget, the money-effect. I think, a complete parade is more expensive than the "event".
So for me - a great idea, that really could work!!! :-)
This parade has some good, and some bad sides. The good ones is that it brings back many of the forgoting characters like mulan, muppets and monsters inc in a parade. The bad is that the floats are rather boring, and small, and not quite as magical like other parades, but I really like it still, and looking foward to see it in WDS :D It was great at WDW, and I think it will be the same way here to
I heard that Star Wars, Power Rangers & Grand Marsel cars didn't made it to Paris, Star Wars is unknown and Power Rangers is being used for meet 'n' greets in Orlando and Grand Marsel car is staying in the WDW storage.
I'd like to see Incredibles, Ratatouille & Robinsons in the parade and I hope Wall-E will be leading the parade taking a peak at the spectators.

Power Rangers and Grand Marshall were indeed not bought by Euro Disney. Star Wars is in Paris however! :)

It won't be a real parade in Paris. It's a large meet 'n' greet event.
Realy?
Did Star Wars make it to Paris?
This is making it more appealing :D/

Yeah but no R2D2 yet....Muppets is here but we are pretty sure that it is being 'transformed' into another theme, maybe Jack Sparrow?
Also the Villian car (black with flames) is being used in this years Halloween Pre-Parade.
Little note, they arnt really cars...they are infact floats made to look like cars.

I'm sorry to doubt your sources Japper, but the logo looks a bit fake to me. It just seems a bit too simple design, the Mickey head doesn't look like the kind of thing that would be put on a logo for something like this, and most of all, the little Mickey apostrophe in the word Disney just makes it look fan made. Sorry :?
Wow cool logo, thanks for posting it japper :)
Yeah it does look alot like the cars logo to me, i'm sure if you didn't see the cars logo in a while you'd think it just was the cars logo, i sure did :P
@ Butlin, maybe it's a quick design that will be edited for the final logo?

Muppets will be transformed to POTC,
The Villains Car to Cruela DeVil
Playhouse Disney to Nemo
I must say I like it. I´m a bit sad that I don´t see the muppets and the bear from the blue house. But it´s great to have Star Wars!!! Curella is also a big favorite of mine! And it seems to be very "balanced" between Real, 2D Animation and 3 D Animation.
Quote from: "The Butlin Boy"Quote from: "Japper"Sorry , another try:
I'm sorry to doubt your sources Japper, but the logo looks a bit fake to me. It just seems a bit too simple design, the Mickey head doesn't look like the kind of thing that would be put on a logo for something like this, and most of all, the little Mickey apostrophe in the word Disney just makes it look fan made. Sorry :?
It was on the disney press site!
With some other logo's (that are terrible)

OMG - my daughter is going to completely lose the plot when this starts in the Studios - Mulan, Ariel and Snow White all in one cavalcade :D/ :D/ ????
You know, this may seriously fill up the studios, as the Princesses are so hard to meet in the main Park.

I like the logo... but yet certain things about it make me doubt it... and they've been expressed previously...
With the Contents of the Parade... Nice Line Up... with the Minor Exception of Star Wars, and I predict Cruella De Vil's mobile/veichle will be that which was used for the Cruella Meet 'n' Greets that the studios picked up during the summer... And I Don't Know Why but I was half expecting a Lightning McQueen, Mater or Sally Models being revealed... mainly cause they actually are Cars... But Hey as the Song Goes... "You can't always get what you want"
QuoteI predict Cruella De Vil's mobile/veichle will be that which was used for the Cruella Meet 'n' Greets that the studios picked up during the summer...
No as you can read on WDSfans (and see on the image posted by Riebi above) will the Villains car be repainted to Cruella Devil...
Firstly, Id like to say that the logo looks pretty good. But I do have one little question to do with the photo line-up posted......why is Bear in the Big Blue House sitting in a car with Finding Nemo written across the photo ?

Quote from: "Kristof"Disney's Stars 'n' Cars Event
CONFIRMED
The parade first premièred on October 1, 2001 as part of the Walt Disney World Resort's 100 Years of Magic Celebration. The parade is a procession of characters riding in highly themed cars down the streets of Disney's Hollywood Studios in true Hollywood style. The parade had it's final run at Disney's Hollywood Studios on March 8, 2008. It has been replaced by the Block Party Bash parade from Disney's California Adventure.
The cars have been transported to Disneyland Resort Paris since then and are currently being adapted.
It's rumoured that the parade will be soft-opened during the Winter season of 2008 and will officially be launched in March 2009.

Original Post by raptor1982:
From Mr. Entertainment on DLP.info about the Stars and Motor Cars Parade:
This Parade will REPLACE the Walt Disney Studios Parade ( aka PDS) as of summer 2007.
It is possible that not all of the characters and/or vehicules will be present in the Walt Disney Studios Paris version. No further info is available at present however.
Yay! You guys can have it! I'm sick of it! lol.
Well if anyone doesnt like the parade , name or logo. Just think, it could have been worse.....................

From when is that quote from raptor, that the Stars'n'Cars Event might run as preview during Christmas Season??! :D
do you think it will get a preview when i go in December the 10th to the 14th i hope so because this is me and my mums 6th time at Disneyland Paris but our first Christmas there.
Well, I like this new promotion:

I LOVE IT!
Expecially the hollywood feel it gives :D
WOW! Well done!
I like it and the logo doesn´t look sooo cheap in this promotion!
Now that's a positive step in the right direction... The poster simply screams hollywood, along with disney and fun! Love the Lighting al la Premieres and 20th Century Fox Logo! I just hope that Mickey's car has the Mickey License Plate or I will be a little unhappy bunny!
I have to admit, I do like this poster, like everyone else has pointed out it just screams Hollywood which is what I want to see. Unfortunately though, I'm still not entirely sold on the logo, there's just something about it that isn't right... :-k :roll:

Hmmm, really nice post Raptor! Buuuuuuuuuut....dont expect to see Star Wars, EuroDisney no longer owns the rights. It has been confirmed internally that this car will be changed.
Nemo?? REALLY?? - love it!
I like the idea and everything, but it would be great if they changed their mind
and turned it into an old fashioned Disney parade, Iam one of the people who are not
very interested in taking pictures and spending time with the characters, but i really
like watching those cool Disney parades and from what iam reading this is not going
to be a full parade with music and lots of charatcers :(
Anyway, it's too early to judge but those are just my initial thoughts when i knew
that it's just going to be an "event" :mrgreen:

Nooooooooo! I was really hoping that Star Wars would stay. How do you mean that they no longer own the rights, they still have Star Tours, and there are shops in both parks that sell Star Wars merchandise? :?
Me too!! In my head I was even hoping that this maybe the thing that kick starts "Star Wars Weekends" in the Studios's similar to the US parks...

:x :cry: :x That's such a shame, I really hoped that it would make it. It would have been brilliant to see Darth Vader, R2D2, C3PO, Chewbacca, and the Storm Troopers in the studios, and I know they have/had at least DV, Chewy, and the ST's because I've seen them in Discoveryland before :wink:

Same here! It´s such a mess that they don´t wanna take Star Wars into the parade. It would be one of the coolest things to see all the star wars guys (and girls) around. Es. Darth Vader and Chewbacca! That the second sad moment for me after I will not see my beloved bear of the blue house into this parade :cry: :cry: :cry:
Yeah it's a shame they Star Wars won't be in it, to be honest it was the only "car" i was interested in seeing in the parade. Would of been great to see the likes of Darth Vader,the Storm Troopers etc :(
Tbh i was hoping for the muppets. I love the muppets and also the ride in wdw, plus recently there has been ALOTof kermit merchandise!
Youd think it would be a sign that muppets are taking over europe !
Mmm; I heard today that the Star Wars car is a go... ?! I guess we'll find out soon when the event premieres. :)
see as your normally right kristof, i will give a loud woop woop as i love star wars

I hope you're right.
But last week at the Entertainment Department's Annual Forum we were told that this is a no right now. No casting is being done for the faces and no costumes are over for the characters.
Still, that departments always been one for suprising last minute decisions. I'll keep you all posted once rehearsals have begun....in January!
No Star Wars in the revamped Stars & Motorcars Event would definately kill the last bit of interest I have to watch these meet 'n greets. Lets wait and see... :roll:
Have you read this on WDSfans:
QuoteDisney Stars 'n' Cars: fleet reduced!
Posted by Kristof on Thursday, October 16 2008
Word has reached us from our insider friends over at the Entertainment department that a few vehicles have been removed from the original concept we posted a few weeks ago.
The new (and final) line up is:
- Aladdin
- Disney Villains
- Donald and Daisy
- Lilo and Stitch
- Mary Poppins
- Mickey, Minnie & Goofy
- Monsters Inc.
- Mulan
- Snow White
- The Little Mermaid
- Toy Story
You'll notice that Star Wars is absent from the list, as well as the new vehicles Pirates of the Caribbean (The Muppets), Finding Nemo (Playhouse Disney) and Cruella Devil, which will not overtake the Disney Villains car. Jack Sparrow has been exchanged for Donald and Daisy Duck who'll open the parade in their vehicle. The Playhouse Disney and Star Wars vehicles will not be used in the event at all.

In this case the parade doesn´t botter me longer in any way. No muppets, no star wars, no curella, why not make the big red cross through the whole parade. :evil:
That´s such a shame!

have to argee with u, but i have to say it dosen´t bother me, after i read it will not be a
parade just a meet and greet event or something like this...
i just ask myself why they took all this cars when they still cut out one car by an other!!
it´s the same when someone buy a second car just for the garage :P :mrgreen:
Losing Star Wars *and* Jack Sparrow is a huge mistake. The audience WDS has now would have gone mad for these two franchises appearing in the park.
I'm quite glad they've cut the Toon truck and Mickey's car though, they would have made the parade feel (even more) like a very cheap "let's put together all the spare cars we have" event.
Quote from: "Anthony"Losing Star Wars *and* Jack Sparrow is a huge mistake. The audience WDS has now would have gone mad for these two franchises appearing in the park.
Couldn't have put it better myself :? Why are they getting rid of these vehicles, they've got them in Paris, so why not use them? It's mad :x

Simple: they've got to pay extra royalties for using Star Wars characters. Dressing up some CMs as Farmboy Luke and Raisin-Roll-Hairdo Leia is expensive...
Jack Sparrow, though?
Or are they on one of their "certain characters can only appear in certain parks or people will get confused" drives? Converting that car to have a pirate ship mast instead of the balloon wouldn't have been very expensive.
I still dont get how this is going to offer a whole lot more than the old Good Morning Walt Disney Studios parade did - and that wasnt even the main parade of the day.
Its still pretty much the same characters being driven around in a parade/meet and greet type thing. Ok so the cars are different (not necessarily better though), it may be a longer parade route? and the music may be different? but other than that its still pretty much the same concept. Why bother with the investment when it doesnt really offer much more than they already had?
Because they own the cars now, instead of renting them from a private collector.
I'm still hoping that at some point this "event" will be changed to an old fashioned
Disney parade [-o<
The cars look amazing btw, can't wait to see them :D/
Are there any news about the chance of a little preview this Christmas Season? I think I've read something like that anywhere a few months ago... [-o<

Zanderstarz mentioned on the last page that rehearsals don't begin till January, so almost certainly not. Sorry.
I had heared from secret connetions.
The Disney Stars´n´Cars Event (Public Premiere) is planed for 28th march 2009 or for 4th April 2009.
Probably for 28th March, since that's when MMP is scheduled to begin...
It'll be interesting to see which park takes the limelight this time around. The 15th launch was all focused on DLP, the Celebration Continues totally on WDS... but MMP is spread across both quite evenly. This event isn't really worth promoting as much as OUADP, to put it lightly.

But on the Concept Art ( published some weeks ago ) there´s the Cruella Car & the Chip n' Dale Car, so in the Catalogues and brochures this picture will appear... Maybe the Info with the Cruella Car is wrong, because they won´t draw it in the final Concept Art if it wouldn´t be released for the event or ?
(//http://www.dlrpmedia.de/avatar/carseventmarked.jpg)
If they would, than the Star Wars car would also took part in this Concept Art ,or?, and there´s no mention about Daisy and Donalds float so maybe there´s something about to change in Last Minute... ? If this will happen I [-o< hope for the STAR WARS CAR :D
see you ;)
QuoteBut on the Concept Art ( published some weeks ago ) there´s the Cruella Car & the Chip n' Dale Car, so in the Catalogues and brochures this picture will appear
That's still the old version of the key visual. Should be changed soon.
I'm not sure if this has been clarified before but are there any star wars characters in
the parade - I'm sure I remember some pictures or reference to them at some stage.
My son loves star wars so this would be a bonus for him.
Mr_B
The original parade in Florida did have a Star Wars car and characters, and Paris did have it shipped over with the others. However, by all current reports it will not appear when Disney Stars 'n' Cars premieres next year.
Maybe it'll come in future, but not next year, sorry.
Thanks for the clarification on that one Anthony :)
I guess it'll just cost me more in Star Wars toys while were there :wink:
Mr_B
Well , I would líke to see it :)

Insider update, last week tests with the cars were conducted in the studios, either for training purposes for driver practice or for placing down the parade route. No music yet, but oddly enough ALL cars were being used. None have been repainted or modified at all...yet.
Stitch one is my favourite. Very lovely vehicles when you're close up, should be a very pretty spectacle for the guests.
I think stitcht would be the only one - except mickey - that would make me watch the parade. After [strike:1r4la211]Star Wars, Muppets, Bear, Cruella, Pirates[/strike:1r4la211]all I wanna see in a parade could be stitch. Sad thing.

There weren't going to be any modifications any more. The original plan was abandoned. The use of all cars was probably for training reasons, unless plans have changed again... :)
Word on the format yet? They have the chance to mix things up a little - which I'm sure they'll do if they want to promote this as their own little event.
I would've still loved The Muppets you know :(

Anyway, regarding the event, one section will enter the park at the Toon Studio gate, the other at the Backlot Express gate. Both will travel through the studios at the same time as it were a regular parade and will then join together on Place des Stars where the characters will leave the cars and put together a small show honouring each movie represented, followed by a meet 'n' greet. :)
Ah, I was already aware of the line-up etc, just not how they'd drive out from two different places and then meet up. That makes a lot of sense from the little I know, but also raises several questions too. Had thought the music would roughly sync up as the relevant theme is played (Place des Stars would've been suitable to tie them together), but with two different routes at the same time... hmm. Two different music mixes and dialogues?
Maybe they are planning on just having 1 underliner?
Would I be right in thinking that when it was in America there was a standard audio track throughout the parade route?
It could have a point every minute or so were the next set of speakers activate as the parade advances.
I really like the idea that there are 2 routes before meeting in the middle.
I doubt the music will even stay the same as in Disney/MGM. To me the underliner idea is out. That being said, does anyone know if the cars have their own speakers actually? Never even thought about it!
2 different soundtracks which merge as the two strands of cars meet in Production Courtyard would be the best idea for me. Just need to make sure any dialogue towards the end matches etc
Sorry, So is it going to be like two different parades that meet up at Place des Stars. Do a little sort of show and then go off and do separate meet 'n' greets.
Quote from: "Kris"I doubt the music will even stay the same as in Disney/MGM.
The cars dont have their own speakers. But the music is different. However you might recognise some of it :wink:
By the way a lot of "playback" has been introduced into this parade, which is a major improvement on the previous version. Much more character interaction is vital and is a big aim in DLRP. I think so far this will be a better version to the original. Apparently the improvement of SNC (stars n cars) is going to be a longterm project. More units will be added in the future, what you will see on 4th April is not the final version.

I don´t believe it before I see it with my own eyes. :lol:
It wouldn't cost as much money to add cars compared with new floats for Fantillusion.
Great news that the event will continue to be plussed, will help keep it fresh.

Well firstly, EuroDisney SCA dont own the rights to the Muppets, i dont think that will ever happen. Stars Wars is in debate, but it certainly wont be in the parade when it opens. Other characters are also in debate. I have listened to the parades soundtrack and although some of it is very "cringe" it will be a lovely spectacle for the guests. Plus the cars are beautiful. Its one of those things that will get better over time, theres so much that could be done to improve this parade but right now, budget isnt strong enough to support it.
It's kind of stupid. You'd expect disney to sort theses problems out with the MMP website.

It's a shame the opening logo isn't more like the one released by marketing, but I like that they're opening their parades with a title now, as OUADP does. Otherwise, Donald's car looks ok, nothing special.
Thanks for the links Kris, it's great to see the cars. I actually like Donald's car a lot, there's nothing wrong with it at all, but I hope that they put the canopy back on Mulan's though :wink:
I can't wait to see some more pictures and videos soon :)
Looks like there's some cool costumes to come. Very tasteful!

From Julien59 @ Disney Central Plaza forum again
I love those costumes, they suit the parade/show so well. I'm looking forward to seeing more :)
Yeah i like those costumes. especially mickey's. very nice. Donald the director by the look of things!
Bit concerned about those costumes at the back :S

^ Changed the video to the one I think you meant to post.
Aren't two of the ones on the right recycled from Welcome to Wonderland? :lol:
Ooops - sorry. Not feeling myself today.
Yeah, the flowers and hatter-style purple costumes. What are they doing there?!! As for the others... hmmm. A bit suspect in my opinion
If you cant make the soft opening on Monday 9th...you could always come to the one on Tuesday 10th :wink:

It was a fashion show with costumes designed by the DLRP costuming department, with the revealing of the Mickey and Donald costumes at the end of the show.
You can hear an extract from the Disney's Stars 'n' Cars music at Vasile Sirli's MySpace page:
http://www.myspace.com/vasilesirli (http://www.myspace.com/vasilesirli)
If you're having deja vu, it's probably because pretty much the entire soundtrack plays out almost like a mixtape of old DLRP music from the archives.
The first time I heard the full soundtrack, I was left confused, but now I've got used to it... it's fine. The opening is great and the first two songs provide such an atmosphere. Especially the sax while a certain female mouse talks the talk ;)

I thought it sounded extremely similar!! Its not very inventive though!
On the other hand I do like Mickey's and Donald's Costume and the Cars look fab!! Hope they do put the canopy back on Mulan and Mushu's car!! :D :D
After night rep tonight... I'm very confident you's will love Stars n Cars!
It is very cool, the show is being compared to a short version of the "Golden Mickeys".
It reminds me of a condenced version of the old Videopolis show "Music and the Magic".
2 days to go!! :mrgreen:

Just posted this on WDSfans:
Quote from: "WDSfans"Disney Central Plaza Member "Bechamel" has revealed all the characters participating in Disney's Stars 'n' Cars event:
- Mickey and Minnie
- Donald and Daisy
- Goofy
- Lilo and Stitch
- Ariel
- Snow White and Dopey
- Aladdin and Jasmine
- Mary Poppins and Bert
- Woody and Jessie
- Mulan and Mushu
- Sully
- Gaston, Cruella and the Evil Queen
http://www.wdsfans.com (http://www.wdsfans.com)
Thats a pretty solid character line-up, I wouldn't say anything surprising.
I like the extract of the music on myspace. WDS needs an event and this looks like it will be good enough to fill the void.
I'm shocked not to see Buzz, Mike and Pluto in that line up, Let's hope they'll appear seasonal.
:shock: Gaston?! :D Yaaaay!
I was hoping we might see some unusual characters in the mix. Instead, they are the same as always. Very disappointing.

Try not to be grumpy for the sake of it.

I don't mind that this has toons, but when we saw it on numerous occasions in WDW, there were other characters from Playhouse Disney, Power Rangers, Muppets, Hades from Hercules etc. So when they were bringing the cars to Paris, I was hoping we would see some different characters on offer than the ones we always see in Paris, as well as some of the stand bys.
I as looking forward to it too, but I am disappointed to see the same old same old. :roll: :twisted:
Well, you could hold your breath and hope that it'll be a trial run at first. Then depending on the popularity of the parade, they might tailor it at a later date.
N.B. But if you start to feel faint, start breathing again. :wink:

I am not grumpy for the sake of it. Disney used to be about soooo much more. In it's time True Life Adventures, 20K Leagues, TV shows were all cutting edge. When Walt opened DL, the toons were relegated to one area of the park, with other edutainment themes coming forward. If surveys asked people what they expected from parks when DL opened, people would have said thrill rides and spinners. Instead we had cowboy towns and jungle cruises, rockets to the future and fairytale castles.
Instead of marketing surveys, Walt created pirate adventures, shrunk you to the size of the atom, built a house for the afterlife, and provided the at the time, 8th largest fleet of subs in the world. Without these feats of creativity and innovation, there would never be a DLP! So forgive me If cardboard toons and cardboard fans chap my hide.

well why should they bother when a) it would cost more and b) the European fans would not appreciate it.
Waste of time and money I suppose.

How much would it realy cost to respray a car, and stick a different character in the passenger seat?
Granted, but the media considers the halcyon days of the early fifties to be over. The sophistication demanded by modern media (but not the viewers) is so technologically different that until recently people's attention spans were deemed to be miniscule.
The spate of remakes (20000 Leagues etc) suggests that the powers that be are beginning to realise that people do want more.
in the present climate companies have to play safe and provide the simple entertainment rather than take a gamble.
If the money was to be available and somebody was to produce a ride/attraction of the sort we both want then possibly it would blow the socks off the competition.
Sadly, nobody is prepared to invest the money this year.

well you were told a while ago that those characters would not be appearing in Paris...so you should have been disappointed back then, instead of now. stars n cars in paris is going to keep changing, we're going to have it for a few years so its bound to get updated along the way, just keep your fingers crossed! dont forget, we still have the unused stars wars, p.rangers, playhouse and hercules cars, there is a lot more to be done im sure!
at the 2 "soft opening" events tomorrow and tuesday, guest will be able to fill out satisfaction and suggestion forms which will aid the show directors in planning for improvements in the future.
Quote from: "Pete's Dragon"How much would it realy cost to respray a car, and stick a different character in the passenger seat?
a huge amount! you'd be very surprised! stars n cars has a very big budget but paying for the royalties of using the characters takes up most of that.
on a nicer side...daisy, donald, mickey, minnie, goofy all have brand new costumes, very pretty! stitch is wearing his elvis costume and the "drivers" (they also get out of the cars and dance) all have new costumes too. its all very pretty and cute!
Quote from: "zanderstarz"a huge amount! you'd be very surprised! stars n cars has a very big budget but paying for the royalties of using the characters takes up most of that.
Can some one explain to me the royalties ?
Quote from: "Owain"Quote from: "zanderstarz"a huge amount! you'd be very surprised! stars n cars has a very big budget but paying for the royalties of using the characters takes up most of that.
Can some one explain to me the royalties ?
the legal rights to use the characters. royalties are fees that EuroDisney Associates SCA (and infact EVERY disney park) must pay to the Walt Disney Company to be able to have characters/music/film references (basically anything) in the parks.
every character costs money, everytime a character is sent into the park, it must be paid for, evertime a voice is recorded for a character it must be approved and be paid for, everytime a reference to the film is made the approprate fees must be paid.
its all very legal and very expensive.
sometimes the rights to the characters cost more than the floats. (very much the case in DOUD).
all shows/entertainment projects have budgets, and royalties take up the highest percentage of that budget. which is why DLRP cant always use amazing, rare or new characters, they're too expensive to get, and the project budget cant afford them.
by the way, putting characters in different costumes (like goofy in doud as opposed to the 'standard goofy) costs a heap of money too! - so all be impressed when you see Daisy finally getting a new costume and say "oooo i bet that cost a lot!", hehehe.
- hope this clears it up :wink:
Wow, royalities. I never would have suspected that DISNEYland Paris would have to pay DISNEY to use DISNEY characters. How mean is that? :?
Paul McCartney pays money to Micheal Jackson to play the songs McCartney wrote with Lennon and recorded as The Beatles... Now thats messed up!
I could understand royalties for Star Wars characters and the Power Rangers but not for actual Disney characters. That surprised me.
Quote from: "Captain Pan"Paul McCartney pays money to Micheal Jackson to play the songs McCartney wrote with Lennon and recorded as The Beatles... Now thats messed up!
Interesting fact, completely off topic :
The xmas carol ' The 12 days of christmas' has no legal copyright, so you can sing it or broadcast it for free. Except for one line,which is not part of the original song, and was added during the 1950s or 60s. Therefor if you play the entire song, one lucky songwriter gets a royality check for writing one line of verse. Jammy sod.
If you think about it, you can probably guess what line he added.

Yes We're :offtopic: and the Verse or "Line as it is" and the Scoring According to Qi and Performed by Rob Brydon that episode... is...
"Five Gold Rings"
But we are talking copyright here... Just not Disney's
Has anybody noticed that Donald's car used to be the Muppets car?

I wish I could be there so much, good luck though guys and gals :)
Looking good from tonight folks. Seems that the show element is more substantial than I thought and I'm glad the character cross-over between this and It's Party Time is minimal.

Jasmine looks likes shes dressed cause she's cold!
Stitch looks Cool...
so was this a one off performance or will it now be daily? we go on wed!
sorry to say this but nope not until the start of Mickeys Magical Party in April
however there is the second (and last preview) event tomorrow.
I love it :mrgreen:
When I first heard that it was going to be different from a normal parade, I'll admit, I was a bit concerned; but now I love how it is so much more than a parade, it's a show as well! And a meet 'n' greet with an amazing selection of characters! This is looking like an amazing addition to the Studios, well done everyone involved =D> =D> =D>
First video has surfaced:
[youtube:3lo4wa64]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYSgfWxTn8M[/youtube:3lo4wa64]
:mrgreen:
Very nice... Costumes are nice... But I did imagine the performance to be a little longer... The Cars look real good nice thought into the design!
Although I have one problem... I'm hoping that the Smoke in Aladdin's Car is an effect... otherwise he should really take it to see a Mechanic as it looked more like it was on fire...
And I have another Problem.... The Toy Story Car is Lightyear patterned... and I thought would have been better with Lightyear and Woody... not Jessie and Woody... Although [strike:2g60po58]they are a couple[/strike:2g60po58]... wait they're Co-Stars on the biggest Western TV Show... May start re-thinking my thought now... :oops:
:lol: It's Jessie and Buzz that are the couple Pan.
:D I think it looks brilliant! This is just what the Studios needs!
:mrgreen: :mrgreen: I'm still buzzing after the premiere today! But here are some more videos ....
The Arrival... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uwFJK3E ... annel_page (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uwFJK3E1Aw&feature=channel_page)

omg this is going to be the best part of mickeys magical party and it aint even being advertised on the promo.
I really like it alot :D
From the first pics and videos I´m impressed :D Will watch Poppys videos this evening to have something nice before sleeping :lol:
Those VTs Are Great Poppy... Although I just noticed something
Unless my eyesight is failing me...
Everyone gets stage time infront of the audience during the show even if it is very brief with the exception of Woody and Jessie. I couldn't find them in the show
Never the less... That was great... and enjoyable!
:o Sulley wasn't in the show either. :lol: Although you can see Gaston harassing him in the background on the left at some point. :D What a fantastic show! :P I loved the Pretty Woman bit, and of course the Villains bit. Villains make for great dancers!
:( I just wish more of the show was in English.

Should have noticed that really... How could I have missed the lack of a big blue polar bear?
Villians were great... But Gaston was fantastic, the characterization was spot on to that from both the movies and the musicals!
The Mulan segment was great... and pretty woman was good too
The fact the fast majority was in french didn't bother me as much as I normally fear it would... Although that could be due to picking up the exact point within the songs they were picking up in the medley...
This rocks!
Reminds me of Meet and Smile from Tokyo :lol:
I would love to see this =D>
Quote from: "Captain Pan"Unless my eyesight is failing me...

Indeed Woody and Jessie don't do much in the show, however the video missed their main part, during the mary poppins part they arrive on the bottom of the stage for a short dance. They also appear at the finale!
:P I really want to know what Gaston was saying. And yes, I can't believe how amazing Gaston was either! :D Gaston is my 3rd fave Disney character, so I can't wait to see this show in person!
I love it - I really do! :D
I'm so pleased they turned it into an event now. If this was the official parade I would have been a little disappointed.
Oh I love it. And they still choose to promote It's Party Time and Stitch more than this event... stupid.
Was really curious how the mix they used for the show mode would work out. It's fine actually and so's the edited parade-in. Personally I'd have prefered something of Toy Story, Lilo and Stitch or even Monsters Inc in there to make this show slightly different to music we've already heard... but you can find those guys elesewhere.
Really really impressed.
The parade-out however is my favourite. That's the parade substitute and the music is totally beautiful. Really atmospheric, showy and DISNEY. This is what DLRP is all about. I have a feeling I'm going to love this more than It's Party Time, Dance Time and the Party Train rolled into one :P
Thanks for those links Poppy. I have now come to my final conclusion:
Disney's Stars and Cars..... Is Brilliant :mrgreen: I absolutely love it, and it would have been no where near as good if it was just a parade. It's got to be the best part of MMP surely.
Is Ariels part from the Once Upon a Dream Parade, it certainly sounds like it :wink:
One thing that does stand out, which isn't really to do with the show, is the screen in the background on the Disney Channel building; it's a but distracting don't you think. How about putting a SnC logo on there during the show, or even better stick some cameras to the lighting post around the area and play some live clips on the screen (like they do in Videopolis) :)
I agree the large screens got rather annoying during the performance :|
Some live shots would be simply amazing :)
Quote from: "The Butlin Boy"It's got to be the best part of MMP surely.
Perhaps the only good part of MMP! :lol: It is
shocking they didn't include it in the adverts.
I must say this looks really good. I agree with you that it seems to be the best entertainment by far in front of Party Time! and Dance Time! This is really something that I would love to see.
However I feel a bit sorry for Sully and Ariel who were all alone. Ariel could be accompanied by Sebastian for instance just like Mulan and Snowwhite who has Mushu and Dopey. It could be fun to see Abu replacing Aladdin then :mrgreen:
But great show - I am sure that this will be a huge succes. It has many characters for one show and some movie references and jokes for the impatient parents :lol:
It looks really great. i hope i can get to go there and see it. it looks to be possibly one of the best things about MMP.!
I hope tonights performance went just as well, and I can't wait to see more videos :D
Thankyou for the videos Poppy.
This has just made WDS my new fave Disney park, I love it. This has made all the bizarre MMP stuff worth it.
=D> =D> =D>
nice to see disney having such a big parade / show in the Studios!
I was quite disappointed when I was there that they did not have such a big one so well done to disney
The preview video of the show on DLRP Magic is fantastic!! I just cannot wait!! it is unusual to think of now meeting the Princesses in the Disney Studios but i think it is wonderful and I am so excited about meeting Mulan and Mushu when I go in September...or I hope I do anyway! :oops: any opportunity for a Meet and Greet and I am very excited hehe! :D/ :D/
Wow just watched the videos. This has just gone to the top of my Must Do list for my next visit. So much more than just a parade. :D/
Amazing how far WDS has come since it's opening.
the event seems to be getting some really positive reviews on here and i for one will join those sentiments :D/ :D/ :D/ :D/
and i love the fact that there may be more cars to come in the future
I like it a lot.
Too bad there is no show before the start of MMP
Wow, that was really awesome. When I heard about this ages ago I was worried it wouldn't be that good but it really has a great atmosphere which fits perfectly into the Studios. Very happy and hope I get to see it for real this year. It felt weird that Ariel was alone, didn't seem right. Sulley seemed a little bit random and unused too.
Was anyone else slightly freaked out by Sebastian on Ariel's car?
I was expecting Sulley to hit the driver on the head at some points.
I enjoyed it, was really nice to see something going on at the Studios. Its better than nothing.
Sounded like the same soundtrack as Hollywood Studios.
Quote from: "Willow"Sounded like the same soundtrack as Hollywood Studios.
it is the same music. just like the track they used for 'good morning walt disney studios'
i think i like it so much because it's not like your average parade. it's split up and it has that show/meet n greet in the middle. really well done WDS
This looks like it could really be the best thing about MMP!! Absolutely loved it =D> , the Studios really needed something like this!
Thank you for those videos!
Oh my goodness me this looks fantastic! Nice to see the Evil Queen in there - her dancing's amazing! ;) :P With the meet 'n' greet, will all the characters be doing it or only certain ones?? With there being so many of them it seems like it could create space and crowd issues if they all do one...
Oh and I'm going to have "roll out the red carpet, spotlight on a dream!" stuck in my head for the rest of the evening now! :lol:
Hooray for Hollywood! Stars 'n Cars seems to pack them in. Great soundtrack by the way (its the original). I cant wait for Star Wars and other filmfranchises to appear in the parade/event/calvacade. And if they ever want to make up for not featuring the Muppets in Stars 'n Cars, here is one tip; Muppet Mobile Lab... only then I'll shut up about it. Deal? :wink: :lol:
Donald's Car is the Muppets' Car, Has anybody noticed it yet?
I agree, it is very good! So much better than if they'd just had it as a parade :D
Is it just me, or is some of the music used during the show part from OUADP? The 'poor unfortunate souls' part especially?
Yes music for the show is taken from the DOUD (ouadp). Poor Unfortunate Souls, Mary Poppins and Ariels solo.
Well I'll be the first to say it ,but I am quite underwhelmed by what I have seen on the videos !! The cars do look great ,but just another Disney dance and mime show in the middle.I think it would have been better if they could have changed the backdrop on the stage with each routine,a huge lcd screen would have been brilliant,and taken it to the next level !!
How many people can see this show as opposed to the traditional parade route ,I know they wanted to do something extra as the cars aren't easily visible,but I still prefer a proper parade with spectacular floats towering over you ;and everyone gets the same experience wherever you are along the route !!
Will have to see it in person of course,might change my mind then !!!!
Thats funny of you to say that, I sat in Chemistry rewriting Stars and Cars. It's in the back of my Jotter but the outline was that the backdrops changed and a "You've got a friend in me" scene. :)

Ha i've sat in some of my lessons just writing or re-writing disney shows and parades!
(Don't tell my teachers :lol: )
I love the preview videos we've seen from this.
I understood that the early idea was that this would "parade" several times a day, and be a meet n greet as well. Is this no longer going to happen, now there is a show at the end of the Studios day?
As I understand it, it'll be this half-hour entry cavalcade --> show --> meet 'n' greet --> exit cavalcade at the end of each day, with no other appearance during the day (HSM: The Party will fill that spot I guess).
I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not.

I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not.
It will be a very short meet and greet with so many characters and probably many crowds being drawn to the show and only 30 minutes to arrange everything! I have to say I think I was happier with thinking it would happen duringthe day at different times etc. it does look great though but being a huge meet and greet addict I can see the character scrumb being really awful!
I don't think it's a proper, stand in line, get a photo, sign book, meet and greet. I think the characters (stars) walk around the corded off areas and meet their fans briefly for 10 minutes.

:( it will be pretty disappointing that way I think...well for me anyway
I think that every meet n greet i've ever been to at Dlrp is insane.
Theres just a mad scramble to get to them. So the character must be petrified.
And i wish they'd left more time at the end of Stars 'n' cars for the characters to spend time with guests

I agree!
I wish it were a parade during the daytime. Seems like this was a real waste of money bringing these cars over for this.
Quote from: "Magicalmouse125"And i wish they'd left more time at the end of Stars 'n' cars for the characters to spend time with guests
To be honest, after a 20 minute show + parade the last thing the characters want to do is wait around signing autographs and posing for photos. There are plenty of "meet and greet" opportunities for this in the park during the day. The meet and greet aspect should never of been advertised in my opinion - just seeing the characters is enough.
And this show is held at the perfect time of day!! The atmosphere is great, and it keeps guests in the park until the end (the main goal!!!).

After thinking about it, i agree Poppy, The characters must get tired after the parade and thena show and yes the event is held at the best time of day! so much atmosphere and keeps the crowd in!

To be honest, after a 20 minute show + parade the last thing the characters want to do is wait around signing autographs and posing for photos. There are plenty of "meet and greet" opportunities for this in the park during the day. The meet and greet aspect should never of been advertised in my opinion - just seeing the characters is enough.
And this show is held at the perfect time of day!! The atmosphere is great, and it keeps guests in the park until the end (the main goal!!!).
here here!! =D>

I agree it shouldn't have been advertised if its there's really no time for meet and greets to take place. The fact is that some of the characters involved in this event are not present for meet and greet in the studios usually at all...infact mulan hasnt been present before in either park, at least not for a long time..... will she now appear during the day for meet and greets...if not and if there is no meet and greet after this show I would be disappointed as I love meeting the characters as do many.
Quote from: "Aveen2008"infact mulan hasnt been present before in either park, at least not for a long time..... will she now appear during the day for meet and greets.
At this moment in time, Mulan is not scheduled to be doing daily meet and greets. She will only appear in Stars N Cars. However this could all change in the summer.
See this is why there should be a special designated area themed to stars n cars where you can meet characters in their parade atire and characters not seen other wise in the park.
The production courtyard stage could be a perfect posistion for this!
This would be during the day!

Good Idea!
i know because i hardly see any other characters apart from the main ones
I agree - to be honest, as it was advertised as a meet n greet, I was actually quite happy with the idea of the cars doing a little parade thing in the studios a few times a day, then the characters meet n greet. As its now an end-of-day parade/show only, with little opportunity for meeting the characters, I don't think we'll watch it more than once on our visit :? .
But hey, you can't please everyone, no matter what you do.

I agree I was happy with the old ideas about the format, even though I am sure it will be a nice show to watch and I will probably watch it once or twice if there is no meet and greet...i really dont think they should say it is one if it isn't, it will just lead to disappointment. If it's a show then great but don't advertise it as more if it's not! :roll:
If you ask me they should have had this in the park since day one.
The only thing I would suggest adding is maybe a couple of small firework shots from the roof of the stage to send off the finale.
Maybe not fireworks :shock: , but some small pyrotechnics would make it awesome 8)
Sure, I'm not talking a box of Standard here, just a little pyro shot just to go out with a bang.
Oh this actually looks pretty good. It's just a shame this part of the park still looks so old-Walt Disney Studios. Imagine how it would have looked if the Theater District project had gone through.
Good point. Especially if it had some neon marquee's flashing away in the twilight.
Hmmm - I don´t like our Stars n Cars... For me, its a waste of money to import all these cars and use them just for transporting the characters to these awwww-show :?
BUT:
Don´t you think, from this angel, our Studios look like a REAL Disney Park??? :mrgreen:

I know what you mean. Perhaps it is just a waste of Money.
But i think that Cinema Parade closed. They needed something for entertainment in the park.
I'm sure simply importing and redecorating the cars is soooooooo much cheaper than creating a whole new parade from scratch. Think of all the things you need for a new parade.
-Designers
-Composers
-Dancers
-Builders
-Drivers
-and so much more.
For DLRP it's a much cheaper option. Does'nt make it right or good. But i'm sure thats how they see it.
And the redecorating was not much :? .
I still think they should have a Stars and Motor Cars parade during the day.

Don´t think so. They had a complete scatch from WDW.
Nothing had to be designed.
Composed
No new dance-steps
No new Floats to built
The thing is - they had to create a complete new show for Production Courtyard.
For that, they had to produce new Music, new dance steps, and a new concept.
If they would had taken the complete Stars and Motorcars - Parade concept from WDW... they wouldn´t had to spend money for a complete new dance show!
Why not have them used in a 'Stars 'n' Cars Parade' during the day, and continue this show in the evening, renaming it 'Curtain Call at the Walt Disney Studios' or something? :P
Quote from: "The Butlin Boy"Why not have them used in a 'Stars 'n' Cars Parade' during the day, and continue this show in the evening, renaming it 'Curtain Call at the Walt Disney Studios' or something? :P
Why? Because Disneyland Resort Paris is not a very well-off company. Do you think they can afford to pay the wages of an extra 40 people just to do this show 5 times a day?? The same team do the DOUD and then Stars N' Cars - the system works perfectly, we don't have the budget for seperate parade teams, and the performers can only work for a maximum number of hours "on-set" during the day - after 2 parades the time is almost used-up anyway.
Quote from: "MagicStar"Hmmm - I don´t like our Stars n Cars... For me, its a waste of money to import all these cars and use them just for transporting the characters to these awwww-show :?
And having the cars wizz-past on a 10 minute parade, wouldn't be a waste of money?? With this concept, we have the parade, the cars are visible and fit the scene perfectly during the show, and then they are used again for another parade to leave the park!!
So really you get 2 parades and more thanks to this brilliant concept.... and much more use and value for money then if the cars were being used just for your bog-standard cavalcade!
Poppy - couldnt have said it better myself!
It's totally NOT a brilliant concept:
How many guests are able to see the show mode on Place des Stars compared to a normal parade route from Rock to Carpets with show stops à la Cinema Parade ? That would have been so much clever AND simple to organize for the guest flow teams. But I guess the "creative heads" that gave us Candlebration by day, Dance Time in front of the Star Tours entrance and Mickey's light suits for a daytime show, know what they're doing.... :roll:

We have a half parade, and a show that looks like the dancing-shows we have since 1992!
I saw Stars and Motorcars at WDW and it had much much more atmosphere than our Event!
I also saw Stars and Motorcars at WDW. There was a much brighter atmosphere around then.
I wish that we could have a new 'Parade' instead of this 'event' :x

Oh how BORING!! How many times have we done parades with show-stops - seriously!
Finally we have nice new orignal concept, fitting in the with Studios theme and in my opinion being a HUGE impovement on the old boring version that ran at MGM.
And for the sake of the Guest-flow teams having to do a little more work, I think we have a much nicer event for the guests - and based on the reactions up to now; the guests love it!!
I agree with Poppy and zanderstarz that it works much better as an experience like this than it would as a parade. Having all the characters from a full parade climb down and join together provides quite an impressive overload of performers on the stage unlike anything I can remember (besides Party Time) from the usually very skimpy DLRP...
...provided you can actually see it. For "the event of the day", as the opening announcement not-very-helpfully declares, the Place des Stars and its tiny, low-level stage really isn't wonderful. Coming out of Playhouse DIsney at 17:55, there was already one, possibly two, rows of people waiting in front of the stage! By 18:15, the entire circle is packed (how crap if you're stood at the back of the stage, seeing nothing...), including the parade route as far as Disney Bros. Plaza.
By 18:25, the parade route is lined. And I feel really sorry for all those people in the park who wait patiently on the parade route (as the Programme says), see it go past and then realise they've completely missed the main event.
Video of the cavalcade arriving:
• Regular: Disney's Stars 'n' Cars - Arrival (//http://www.dlrpmagic.com/video/entertainment/disneys-stars-n-cars-arrival/)
• HD: Disney's Stars 'n' Cars - Arrival (//http://www.dlrpmagic.com/video/entertainment/disneys-stars-n-cars-arrival/?v=hd)
It's a very good way of clearing the park bang on 7pm, draws everyone out onto the parade route.
I agree with poppy and zander, i really like the DLRP concept of Stars n Cars.
People seem to forget that DLRP doesnt have the same amount of money then the other parks to completely jazz everything up.
Quote from: "Magicalmouse125"I also saw Stars and Motorcars at WDW. There was a much brighter atmosphere around then.
Hmmm, Poppy and myself work with a lot of Americans who used to do the old S'N'C at WDW and they all agree the Paris version is an improvement. There are many guests visiting from the States saying how much better the Paris version is in comparison to the WDW and California versions.
I would prefer as a guest, to see a show with a lot of character involvement, dancing and playback, than seeing a "parade" of just cars going past with silent characters just waving at me.
I have to admit though, the meet and greet should be cut from the production, simply because its not working. And guests should not be allowed to stand behind the stage.
Also Mulan should go on sets in the park!
In the future, i would like to have more playback for Stitch, Lilo, Daisy, Sulley, Woody & Jessie. And i would like to see the Incredibles and Frozone (using the Power Rangers car), the old Nemo float, and the Hercules car (including Herc, Meg, Pain, Panic, Hades) to appear in the production.
Two more videos, the show and then the cars leaving:

• HD: Disney's Stars 'n' Cars - Production Number (//http://www.dlrpmagic.com/video/entertainment/disneys-stars-n-cars-production-number/?v=hd)• Regular: Disney's Stars 'n' Cars - Departure (//http://www.dlrpmagic.com/video/entertainment/disneys-stars-n-cars-departure/)
• HD: Disney's Stars 'n' Cars - Departure (//http://www.dlrpmagic.com/video/entertainment/disneys-stars-n-cars-departure/?v=hd)Quote from: "zanderstarz"In the future, i would like to have more playback for Stitch, Lilo, Daisy, Sulley, Woody & Jessie.
Playback for anyone other than Minnie would be an improvement! In fact, cutting out a few bits of her speech would be good too, it gets to the point where you picture someone randomly bashing a button in the sound control. "Just look at my dress... Just look at my dress... Just look at my dress..."
Thanks for the videos Anthony they are great!:)
Is it just me or does anyone else think the Monsters inc. Car is boring to put it mildly? Like looking at the Mulan car or the lilo and stitch one, they are brilliantly themed but the Monster's Inc one is really crap (just in my opinion), not only the car but to just have sulley in it is boring too.
I think they could have put Buzz in the Toy Story car too, to fill it up a bit and maybe Eric with Ariel...maybe that wasn't possible space wise which is fair enough but the monster's inc car leaves much to be desired!

I completely agree with these comments !! Thought this when I saw the video a few weeks back,and so many people will miss the show because of the space limitations,seems to neither one thing or another,a proper Disney parade would have been better and stood the test of time better! Think this will look very boring in a couple of years;they would never have got away with this in the Disneyland Park,but because it is the Studios they think it is alright !!!! If this was the main daytime parade going down Main St with a bit of dancing at Central Plaza you would be very disappointed !!! :(
I do love how Minnie mentions MMP in her first parade-mode dialogue :)
Whatever happend to the other WDS MMP tie-ins such as posters etc? Kinda forgot those were missing
Does anybody else think the Monsters inc car is ..well pathetic to put it mildly? Its boring and looks empty even with Sulley in it and the car itself has hardly any theming except for the plate thing stuck at the back..I would rather the car was removed because it's so bad! :shock:
I do agree, the MI car looks very bland and boaring, I feel that there should be more laughter containers on the car, rather than the pathetic one in the back.
Quote from: "Kris"Whatever happend to the other WDS MMP tie-ins such as posters etc? Kinda forgot those were missing
There are posters in Front Lot where the 15th ones were, and displays in the two main stores. Actually, whoever put them together - those displays are brilliant. Legends of Hollywood has a load of retro Disney Shorts-style stuff laid out on a table, while Studios Store has a collection of Minnie-print items. A nice break from the bland, non-Mickey-ness of the event itself.
So yeah, you can
just about tell MMP is happening in the Studios...

I was finding out information for my next WDW holiday and found a Stars 'n' Cars clips featuring the very first rehersals.
I wondered if we'd see these kind of videos pop up. Also on the Disney Parks youtube page perhaps. Everything looks great by night
"Just like in front of the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood..."
Erm, yeah. Except without anything resembling Hollywood in this corner of the park!
I like how even disney.co.uk can't find a host to translate with proper pronounciation now...
So now I've watched all the three videos of you, Anthony! They're really great, thanks for that =D> Did you record them on the same day, was it all the same show?! Is it possible to change the places in one show?
And: Is it already clear if the Stars'n'Cars event will stay at least till Oct./Nov. 2010? :lol: I hope so, because we won't return to DLP earlier :(!
When we were leaving DLP on Monday (about 20:00, one hour after closing time) the characters from the Stars 'n' Cars parade were in Town Square: Mushi, Snow White with Dopey, Daisy and Donald...

Thanks! I think I actually recorded them over three days.
It's possible to watch the show and then move away from Place des Stars to see the parade leave, while the characters are posing for photos. But you couldn't watch the parade arrive and then follow it over to Place des Stars to watch the show, you need to get there at least half an hour early for a decent view.
To be honest I prefer the parade sections anyway, could live without the show...
We watched Stars n Cars two days running this week, and didn't watch the show at all :lol: . We stood behind the stage, got to see some fabulous character mucking about, got some autographs and pictures, and I got to kiss Woody's cheek lol :D/ .
The unofficial show at the back of the stage is great fun =D> .

Yes the cast of S'N'C are out everyday at 7:45-8:15 in Town Square. Not all of the characters are present but the majority will be there.
yay that's great to know! Thanks :D
@ Anthony: Yeah, that's what I thought, too ;)! I think the show itself may be nice, but I think I could get better pictures of both characters & cars if I stood at the place where you recorded the good-bye-scene, with the Hollywood Bvd in the background, that looks great :)!
Shame that 90% of the guests watching the cars drive by have no clue what's supposed to happen. Lots of unhappy faces past weekend (and the months to come!)
It has been said before, make it a full parade with dancers and the smaller vehicles that were once planned and have parade stops.

totallay agree with this my daughter was very lucky and got some quailty time with Mulan and Mushu one night and Jessie and Woody the next.
see my sig below :D
I am going to disneyland next week. (sooo excited) I am such a huge monsters inc fan and noticed that the Sully meet and great is no longer schedualled and would be heart broken if i dont get to see Sully so im guessing a spot behind the stage would be the best place to stand if i wanna try and catch him? I agree that the monsters inc car looks a bit lame compared to the rest and i think it would have been so sweet if they had of had boo in her monster costume in the car with sully. anyone got any tips as to where to stand to try and grab sully or anyone know if he is out during the day usually? cheers.

I have a question, without reading 19 pages...
I have not gotten over to WDS yet to see S&C, and to be honest all I mainly care about is the meet n greet.
I could quite happily do without all the singing and dancin' - just give me Gaston and Stitch in a picture and I'll be made up!
So my question is, with the crowds, and the ropes and the very limited time they do the meet for, how good a chance is there currently of meeting characters?
I'm not wanting someone to just say "it's hard"... I can figure that out.
If I wanted to meet Gaston for sure, no questions, what is the best way? do they meet at set points around the roped off area? Do they try to get round everybody?
If there is no chance of us seeing Stitch and Gaston next time I'm over at WDS, then I prob won't see the show.

I haven't been over to see this yet (will in Sep).. from what others are saying I don't think there is much opportunity for photos etc even standing behind the stage of Stars and Cars... you would just have to be very lucky.. It seems to be more signing autographs and stuff.. but it's worth a shot trying to get near him and asking for a photo. I think they go around and stop at random parts along the rope.
Though as Zanderstarz said a few posts earlier..
"Yes the cast of S'N'C are out everyday at 7:45-8:15 in Town Square. Not all of the characters are present but the majority will be there."
Therefore you may get a chance to meet Gaston by going here.
I was far more interested in Stars n' cars as either a normal parade or a meet and greet opportunity, i dont think the show looks that good really.
All the best

Well actually now Fanti is back I'm afraid the characters from SNC no longer go out in Town Square. However, Gaston and Mulan do not take part in DOUD and will usually do 3x 30min sets sometime after SNC in Fantasyland. But off the top of my head im not sure when possibly just after DOUD??? I will check this up for you. Oh and you can see Stitch usually every day in Discoveryland, he is normally back to back with the 'Dance Time in Discoveryland Show, you might have to check this out with City Hall on the day though to be sure.
Sorry to bump this old thread, but I have a few questions regarding some stuff in it for our upcoming trip!
I have seen some recent (like in the last week) pictures of the Stars n Cars characters over by IASW later in the afternoon... Any indication if this is now a regular thing? And if so, what times can we expect to find them there?
Also, does Gaston still meet in Fantasyland? Or is he meeting currently in the new Villains meets for the Halloween Season?
ALSO - lol - does Stitch ever meet in his Elvis outfit or his new DJ outfit? Does he ever do meets after Dance Time in his DJ outfit?
Thanks!!
Dan :)

Even if it has been pre-recorded, it still makes a huge impact. Shame about the Scaffolding though :roll:
The Video-Sync on the Disney Channel building was introduced on July 20th 2009!
Sorry if i'm covering old ground but I came last year and this was the most badly planned parade ever (No anger aimed at the cast members they were great). we all really looked forward to this but it was just so hard to do anything ie take pictures, meet characters. My kids were so disappointed as I was. It just seems so inaccessable.
I wish they had more invites into the action. ie cast members letting ppl (especially kids through) to enjoy and become part of the magic. HSM does a pretty good job of this and my kids loved it.
Rant over.
Mr_B
:? I'm so surprised to hear that Mr_B. I just got back from DLRP, and the audience interaction in that parade/show was great in my opinion. Whilst the show went on, characters that weren't doing a part at that time were interacting with/signing autographs for people who weren't stood in view of the show itself. IE, behind/to the side of the stage. Then after the show, there was a meet and greet session that went on for ages! Characters made their way around the whole area, even part way down the road that they travel to get to the stage. :) So no one missed out. Maybe it wasn't as organised back when you went.

I have to say when I went in september the characters did do some meet and greet but not that much, they must have improved it, maybe it was because january is a quieter month or something
When we were there last november, character interaction was great. Little one had a long talk with Mulan, of course I had to translate it. And she even gave popcorn to her and stitch. It was very cute :stitch: :stitch_bounce:
awww!! so cute!
In September I let a little girl go infront of me as Lilo was going along quickly signing autographs but she stopped about 1 person before the little girl and then went to leave :( I felt so sorry for the lil girl she was screaming "lilo" so loud bless her!:(
This is were little one gave Mulan some popcorn :lol:

Love your picture, Reiana! I think Stars 'n' Cars is realy great. The parade, show and character meetings arejust great. The 'Roll out the red carpet' parade song is one of the best parade numbers ever. I always enjoy hearing it.
Thanks Tuvok.
I think Stars 'n' Cars is a very nice parade and fits perfectly into the studios.
Don't think the press art for this new car has done justice to the final thing.

Trust me.. they are all real! Those concepts always look weird, they are not for promoting..
Yeah that's not fake. It's exactly the same as the shots used in recent video promos as seen above anyway!
I can confirm all of those are real. These sketches originate from an internal presentation for the marketing department and are not supposed to be released to the outside world, that's why they look somewhat unprofessional.
Eell there is no need to look at these concept arts anymore.... Remy and Emile make their Stars 'n' Cars debut TOMORROW at 14.45!!
So does anyone have any pictures?? I can't wait to see the new addition!

Thank you for the pictures of the Ratatouille car. It looks good.
big thumbs up - a great addition, gutted i missed it this week though
Like the steam coming out of the pans at the back of the car :D
Looks great!
Fantastic work, a very worthy addition. Love the posters. If it hasn't been mentioned, the pots and pans should tip and tilt from side to side as it drives, as if they're about to fall over.
Only the glass on the front bothers me... Defying gravity a bit too much there.
Did the new version of the Place des Stars show also debut today?
The New car looks good! Looks like a lot of work went into making it, definately worth its place unlike one of the cars - monsters inc sham of a car! :roll: lol! I welcome this addition!

Yes, the new shownumber with Ratatouille did also debut. Here is the video of all the new events (Disney All Stars Express, Disney's Stars 'n' Cars with Ratatouille and shownumber and Tiana & Naveen at Town Square and in Disney's Once Upon A Dream Parade! This looks fantastic!
[youtube:2mrtjzzd]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvUHYe2xIZQ[/youtube:2mrtjzzd]
Oh I love the big number. Seen the pics but hadn't seen the video already. Seems like it was received well too :)
I really love the new vehicle, especially with all of its movement, etc. The coreography for the Rataouille segment also looks fantastic to me - I really enjoyed watching it. This is such a small, but absolutely brilliant addition to the studios, perhaps even the best temporary/show feature of the whole NGF (so far anyway :wink: ) =D>
good morning,
I like the Character Express, the Stars and Cars parade, Tiana and Naveen on town square(miss Mary Poppins), but her skirt is to short :?
What I absolutly, really do not like is that Belle and Beast(or prince) are not in the gazebo on the float anymore!! It looks, like they are put on the side, because there is no other room for them :evil:
I ^m still looking forward to our visit in april and seee it all in person.
Aurora :lol:
Until now I wasn't really interested in Disney's Stars and Cars Parade, but with Ratatouille it will change. I really like the Ratatouille car.
Encore. Encore! More embelishments like this please!
the events look good but im not fond of tianas dress. there is something not right about it. it looks a bit too short and too heavy. i also wish they had louis or dr facillier for the even on main st. i cant wait to see remy in stars n cars
I love that new car, I can't wait to see it for myself!
Official video of the car:

I see Mike has disappeared from the Monsters Inc car already..... why do they do that? I remember there was a remote controlled Nemo character a few years back, he soon disappeared too!
Quote from: "Martyn"I see Mike has disappeared from the Monsters Inc car already..... why do they do that? I remember there was a remote controlled Nemo character a few years back, he soon disappeared too!
On the Stars and Cars parade? I don't remember that there was a Nemo car.
Also Mulan isn't there anymore, now Mushu is alone in the car :( .
Quote from: "Martyn"I see Mike has disappeared from the Monsters Inc car already..... why do they do that? I remember there was a remote controlled Nemo character a few years back, he soon disappeared too!
Disney's Stars 'n' Cars premiered in 2009, so if you remember Nemo in a parade a few years back, then it can only mean that Nemo pas part of the Disney Cinema Parade. Also, Mike was never on the Monsters Inc. car. I think you're refering to another parade, but not Stars 'n' Cars.
Hmm, wonder what led me to think that? Must have seen a pic or something....
Yes Nemo was either a part of the Cinema parade, or just a 'character' that wondered the park. But he soon disappeared anyway.
Quote from: "Martyn"Yes Nemo was either a part of the Cinema parade, or just a 'character' that wondered the park. But he soon disappeared anyway.
I have seen Nemo at Newport Bay Club's Convention Centre last year. He was used as a static prop, together with two jetski's from Lilo & Stitch Catch the Wave Party. From a thematic point of view it looked very out of place to be honest.
Quote from: "Tuvok"Also, Mike was never on the Monsters Inc. car. I think you're refering to another parade, but not Stars 'n' Cars.
Mike and Sully used to be on the Monsters Inc. car together at the Disney-MGM Studios, but in Paris, Mike has never been featured in Stars 'n Cars. Perhaps thats where the confusion is coming from?
So with the Block Party Bash leaving Disneys Hollywood Studio's in Orlando Januari 1st... I really hope that it comes to Paris! I LOVE Block Party Bash!
QuoteSo with the Block Party Bash leaving Disneys Hollywood Studio's in Orlando Januari 1st... I really hope that it comes to Paris! I LOVE Block Party Bash!

The Block Party Bash in Disney's Hollywood Studios will be replaced by the 'Pixar Friends Fun Cavalcade' (still only a working-title) on january 1st 2011. It will indeed feature characters from Ratatouille and UP.
the ratatouille car seemed to be missing this week - where has it gone???

Refurb or technical problems.

What is the car lineup this year? Are they still doing toy story in one of the cars?
Quote from: "stevenlatham01"What is the car lineup this year? Are they still doing toy story in one of the cars?
Yes there is still a TS car.
That's good, my daughter loves TS. I just read on DLRP Today that the article "Stars 'n' Cars to lose its "petite surprise" stage number as parade stops refreshed".
//http://www.dlrptoday.com/2011/05/02/stars-n-cars-to-lose-its-petite-surprise-stage-number-as-parade-stops-refreshed/#comment-4925
It says this will change to just meet and great in the summer. Does anyone know when the change will take place? We travel on the 9th June. Will it have changed by then?
I read on disney central plaza that angel is to join stars n cars can anyone here confirm this.
Yesterday was a special event in the parks and a special Stars n Cars was put on featuring a few special guests.

I guess owning 10% or whatever he owns has its benefits - i would love lotso and bullseye to stay though
:shock: did i see huey duey and louie??????love them and the dwarfs, loadsa of characters! wish they were there when went 3 weeks ago. Its annoying the change things randomly, surely they should all start in April when magic moments was introduced!

I am afraid it was only for 2 days when a rich prince paid 1 million Euros to add these for his stay.
I don't know if that prince was Prince Alwaleed, but in my opinion TWDC or ED SCA should try to re-buy the 10%. Firstly it eliminates another party involved, although he hasn't a lot to say due to the whole company structure, but he still owns enough to be not ignored.
If it wasn't for him, DLP would have closed....also, he does speak out when he sees quality issues (TWDC would not). I think DLP is better for him than without. He has an amazing passion for the parks, and when we last spoke, that was immediately apparent (though that was a long time ago).
That's interesting. I didn't know that. So you know Mr. Alwaleed?
Maybe you can convince him to invest heavily :lol: . But I don't think that TWDC wants him to invest. That would mean they have to sell more of their stakes and if I'm not mistaken they are binded by contract to hold at least a certain percentage of the company until 2030.
Do you really think Disney would have closed the resort? Honestly I think that would be such a PR dessaster. The next thing is that the French government was also involved. According to "Disney War" the French Secret Service placed microphones in the offices to get infos. There was so much money involved that I highly doubt the government and Disney would have backed out. I think it was to threaten the banks.
I do not know him per se, I have had the opportunity to speak with him twice though when we happened to be at the resort at the same time (similarly with John Lasseter, Micheal Eisner, Roy Disney Jr - though I spoke with him in DL many times as a lad). I dare say the Prince would not know me.
I am aware there were risk mitigation plans with the potential for closure or more likely sale (ripping a lot of the Disney IP out). Though I wonder if that was for negotaiting tactics. But it was dire at one stage. But on the flip side, how long can they continue to operate a shadow of a Disney resort, one that was the most magnificent when first opened?
Quote from: "davewasbaloo"But on the flip side, how long can they continue to operate a shadow of a Disney resort, one that was the most magnificent when first opened?
That's a good question. Something has to be done about the resort. DLRP is still in the reds and I highly doubt that will change in the next years. The reputation of the resort is bad, I mean when did you read something good about the resort in the medias that was not provided by Disney. The condition of the parks is still far away from where it should be, but I#m confident that the current refurbs going on will change that. Unfortunately WDS also needs a huge refurb programm. Have you seen the floor in Front Lot and in the rest of the park?
TWDC has also to take some responsibility. Although it is not wholly owned by them, they still have the last word on all decisions. Unfortunately TWDC is focusing on their own parks and on SHDL and Paris is left behind. Even in Hong Kong they are investing. When did they invest in DLRP the last time? I think it was WDS and that money was transferred to the ED SCA debt. The company also didn't invest in TOT and Toon Studios. That money came from a restructuring. I think SM was the last time when TWDC invested directly into the resort and SM is still owned by WDI and leases it to DLRP.
Has the new parade format started yet?
No, the 'new version of the parade' has been postponed to a date in september. The exact date is not yet confirmed, but at the moment it's scheduled to run tests after the summer season. That's good news for all you fans of the show on Place des Stars. It will stay for the time being. I'm for one are very happy to see it again in august!
I'm glad I'll see the show one last time, it's good fun. Though I am looking forward to the conversion to a parade, can't wait to see how it turns out.

Oh, wonder why it postponed. Look forward to seeing whatever they have planned.
It may be that they just ran out of time to trial it before the summer season. The one thing you don't want is a dress rehearsal in the middle of peak season

How is it changing?
They are going to transform Stars 'n' Cars into a 'real parade', which will run from Toon Studio all the way through Backlot, like the Cinema Parade in the early years. The show-part on Place des Stars will be cancelled. More characters and performers will be added, two show-stops will be performed alongside the paraderoute and probably extra cars. All rumours at the moment, but change is coming to Stars 'n' Cars.
This is such a welcome change in my eyes, the old Cinema Parade was something which made the park feel less bodged job and more Disney in it's early days, every true Disney park needs a good parade, but SnC's V1 just didn't fill the parade gap for me.
Cinema Parade was so good when it was in it's prime, one of the best, and then this just didn't live up to it's expectations. Hopefully adding more cars, performers and making it feel like a spectacle, not a show with an identity crisis will help to return the parade route to a path of Disney magic!
Little details make the park, hopefully this is a sign that things will begin to change for the better!
Maybe this will be one of the 20th anniversary improvements? :D
Good point, what do we know about the 20th? So far it's only jack sparrow inPOTC, and I think I saw somewhere that they are working on a new dlp parade( is this just a rumour). This would look good as a new thing
According to members on DCP the redesign of the show has been scrapped and it will be staying the same.
ugh... disapointed
Is there a xmas version.
I've just caught a video of the new Universal Singapore parade, it's kind of a hybrid of DOUAD, the original Cinema Parade and SnC. I really like parts of it (the Jurassic Park section is just brilliant!) but the energy seems to be lacking.
However, take the aspects of each float representing a movie from the park, re-use some of the cars as space fillers and increase the amount of dancers and this concept is something that could work at Studios well I think!

Anyone knows what's going on with the parade at the moment? Are there any changes or is the show still running??
The show has gone, i haven't been back this year yet but I believe the show has gone, and now there is just a parade of Cars.
Very very short parade right now.
Hi everyone,
Does the parade stop anywhere so you can meet the characters in the parade? Want to meet ariel and jasmine
Quote from: "mdw"Hi everyone,
Does the parade stop anywhere so you can meet the characters in the parade? Want to meet ariel and jasmine
I think the parade doesn't stop anymore, it just passes really quickly through Production Courtyard and Toon Studio. You can meet Ariel in the Princess Pavillion or in Auberge de Cendrillon, but she also shows up at random in Fantasyland. I don't know about Jasmine, probably she's also in the Princess Pavillion.
Has this parade moved to 4pm permantely now as it used to always be at 1pm? Thanks
As the season goes on and it gets lighter in the evenings the parades are shown later, Disney use this as a ploy to keep as many people in the parks as possible. You can therefore expect Stars and cars to be this time or later during the coming months.
Yay! Great news, we go in 3 wks and it means we can see it on the 1st day after getting off the Eurostar 2ish!!! :D
I miss that little cute show, what do you guys think? In my opinion the parade is a bit too short or probabely too fast.
Nevertheless i like it very much!

Thank you thats a great help :D
Aww I've only ever seen videos clips of this parade as we're never usually in the studio long enough to catch the actual parade.
So there is no show anymore? Aw, that's a shame. I really enjoyed that addition when watching bits of the parade on Youtube.
Is this parade still worth catching then?
Yes, it's still worth going to see the parade. I liked the show and I'm glad that I saw it, but it was difficult to see the parade and get a good position to see the show, so i'm not sorry the show has gone. it didn't really work having the two together, parade and show. You can get a better view of it on Youtube.

Thanks! I'll make sure that my friend and I are in the studios to catch the parade :D
I know its Wikipedia so should be taken with a pinch of salt (I don't think its true at all) but has the Aladdin float been retired and Wreck It Ralph and The Incredibles been put in as of the 1st of October? (I'm very much doubting it, think its just a dodgy twitter edit)
I find that, even on the busiest days, the best place to stand is right at the start of the parade route outside of Magic Carpets. Here you get a very clear view and very few people around.

I'm not entirely sure this is true but I'm sure if you browsed on Youtube, you'd get an idea of who was still in the parade. I know that seems a bit of rubbish advice, but I'm sure it will help especially if you type in Stars and Cars October 2013. :)
I have done, I think it's definately baloney
Are Mary Poppins & Bert still in it?
they were 2 weeks ago!
Caught it it yesterday (26th Oct) wasn't taking notes exactly but from what I can remember there was no wreck it Ralp. There definitely was, Goofy/Donald/Daisy, Alladin/Jasmin, Ariel, Sulley, Marry/Burt, Remy/Emile, Evil queen/Gaston and of course Mickey and Minnie =) 0O0
I watched one of the Stars n Cars Parade from during the Christmas Season and noticed a few of the characters and cars were missing from the parade. Do people know if this was a one off for that one day I watched or throughout the whole Christmas season characters were missing.
It's a shame they had to cut characters as the parade is too short without the full cast there.
Sometimes there are characters missing on one day and they are there the next day! One day we saw Mushu in the car with Mulan, the next day he wasn`t! Same with the dwarf on Snow Whit`s car.
So I guess this also has to do with "availability" of the characters!
Yeah I thought it was due to availability of characters and it must vary. I just hope cuts hadn't been made for the Christmas season version of Stars N Cars to make up for other entertainment.
Tonight's New Year's never before seen Stars N Cars sounds like it is going to be brilliant. Can't wait to see it.
Some big news courtesy of DisneylandBerry on twitter about Stars N Cars during this year's Spring Festival.
"No Stars'n'Cars during the Spring Festival. The cavalcade will be transformed into a meet'n'greet with some cars on the Place des Stars"
[/size]
[/size]They go on to confirm "[/size]the meet'n'greet replaces the cavalcade BUT not with all characters of the Stars'n'Cars".
[/size]
[/size]What do people think? I think it is very sad that for a long period of time Walt Disney Studios won't have a main parade which lowers the status of a second park. Stars N Cars was a cute little parade with great music and beautifully designed cars. A meet and Greet of Stars N Cars characters already takes place each day so it isn't a replacement for the parade but a direct cut.
[/size]
[/size]I suspect the real reason for this cut in entertainment is due to availability of characters during the festival across all park entertainment over the festival.
When does the parade in the studios stop. We're going the 9th-13 march hope we get to see it.
I'm not sure the exact date for when Stars N Cars will be finishing for the festival has been announced date and either have the spring festival dates. It's rumored to be April to June
More information has come today about why the parade isn't taking place during the festival. today It is due to three of the cars being used in the Spring Festival cavalcade which are going to be modified. That information courtesy of @disneylandBerry on Twitter.
Hopefully we'll get to see it so thanks. ;)
More Stars n Cars news today courtesy of InsideDLParis on twitter. Some good news and bad news depending on how you look at it.
Disney's Stars 'n' Cars will from now on no longer feature Snow White and Monsters Inc[/size]
[/size]
[/size]However Pluto has been added and you might catch the Chipmunks next time you see it ;-)[/size]/quote]
[/size]
[/size][/size]Infact Disney's Stars 'n' Cars will remain in it's current 'Parade' form (but missing 3 cars) during the Spring Festival.[/size]
[/size]
So good news that the Stars N Cars parade will remain during the Spring Festival after rumored not to be happening. Mary Poppins car is being used for the Sping festival so won't be appearing during the festival but will make a return to Stars N Cars afterwards.
No news yet on new cars to replace Monster's Inc and Snow white with new characters or if Pluto and Chip and Dale walking the parade are the additional characters to replace those characters departing.
I saw Monsters Inc coming, didn't expect snow white to go, but I can see why, wouldn't be surprised to see Pooh in Stars n cars
Aw can monsters inc be seen anywhere now . Goin Friday two weeks and all I'm hearing is will we see mike and sulley off my two!! :o
At the present moment Mike and Sulley aren't doing meet and greets I am afraid. The scream academy is still there though.
The monsters Inc car is being revamped ready for the new spring calvacade so you won't be able to see the car anymore.
Gaston, Queen and Cruella are no longer in Stars N Cars instead Captain Hook and Jafar are...
Noooo, Gastoooon :o :'(
Aw I loved Gaston! Although it will be cool being able to see Hook!
Hook is in the main parade in the other park though so we already see him. What will become of Gaston?
I am shocked to hear of the change of villains! I hope then Gaston, Queen and Cruella could make more appearances next door in the park than in the Studio.
I am glad for Jafa as he is kinda rare/not common. But with Captain Hook? I find that a little weird choice since yeah he's on the MoP. Unless that might get a change and go back to Wendy? Who knows.
Or sometimes to do with entertainment and the Spring Festival? Very strange.
I was surprised they removed Gaston, Queen and Cruella from the parade as they are rarely seen in the parks apart from Halloween so Studios was the perfect place to meet some villians. Jafar is a rare character these days to meet but Hook is a regular in Disneyland Park so a strange choice to now have him as a regular character in the studios.
It's nice to give the parade a slight refresh with new characters. When there are so many villians to choose from I would say it would have been better to choose a villian that wasn't a regular like Maleficiant a very popular villian only seen around halloween. It would have been a good tie in too for the film out in the summer.
I can't believe I never seen the Stars n Cars Parade. So will have to make sure we do next week.
I love stars n cars, and look forward to seeing Jafar in it, but agree with the others it is a good chance to see rare characters and Caprain Hook can be seen in the Park, would have liked to seen 'rarer ' characters instead.
I haven't seen the Stars 'n' Cars parade in a really long time, and not since they changed it and became a straightforward parade...
We're off tomorrow and I think my daughter will enjoy the parade (am I right in thinking that Stitch and Mulan are both still in the parade?), but we also wanted to see the Moteurs Action stunt show. Do you think we could see the end of the parade (near the stunt show), and then catch the show? The parade starts at 14:15 and Moteurs Action at 14:45.
You should be able to, But not sure what seats will be left for you in the stunt show. The Stars and Cars parade has been reduced since some of the vehicles are used in the Spring parade
Great, thanks!
Yes, I get the feeling that there would be a rush of people doing the same thing, and that it will be difficult to get good seats... May wait to see how busy it is, and if there's too much of a crowd forget about the stunt show. Or do it later :)
From the most recent reports, the stunt show is a shadow of it's former self. The last time I saw it the show was RUBBISH! There were NO car jumps and I would say that they have ripped the heart out of this show and there is now more talking and less action! There is now a "guest" appearance by Lightning McQueen and it is hard to think how they could have made it less exciting.
So, in short, my advice would be to miss this show altogether unless someone who knows the show has seen it recently and can confirm that it is not as sterile as it has been for the last year or so.
I was at DLRP for the preview day of Swing into Spring and they have taken three vehicles from Stars and cars for this. The cars that have moved are Snow White, Monsters Inc and Mary Poppins. The first two cars have been repainted for the high energy show, Mary Poppins had not been touched on my visit. This has left Stars and cars a little short! And although there were said to be more "guest" characters walking the route there were none on my visit. Stitch is still in the parade, but you can never guarantee who will appear and on my visit there was no Mulan only her dragon!
Stitch is also in Swing into Spring so you have two opportunities to see him.
If you decide to leave out the stunt show then my advice for watching the parade is to stand outside of Flying carpets as there are usually very few people here where the parade starts and the characters will be waving at your children which should make them feel really special!
Have a great visit.
Thanks captain! Followed your advice and gave Moteurs a miss, I remember it when it was exciting, no point in disappointing ourselves....
Also watched the parade near the start, by Art of Animation, it was very quiet around there. The parade wasn't great though, with the missing cars it's very short, and no, no Mulan only Mushu (my daughter was a bit upset about that, she's really into Mulan right now)
I was quite disappointed with stars n cars parade. When we were at disney 3 years ago, there was a bit of a show where all the charachters got off their cars, danced about a bit, ran round the cordon signing books and meeting fans, then finished the rest of the parade back on the cars. You can see why we disappointed with a straightforward drive past...
It's such a shame to see Stars N Cars being allowed to deteriorate into its current state. Such a beautiful parade if done properly. They must be able to make some new cars brought from the states where the cars originally came from and create a brand new car. Add some guest/walk about characters too.
It still has a brilliant parade track.
We didn't bother with Stars n Cars last week.
It actually was a little bit confusing as they also run 2 other parades/meet & greets at 12 & 1pm, using 2 of the cars and around 10/12 characters. The problem with the character meets is that it's now a little too "polite" with official queues forming for each character, which makes it impossible to get to see/meet more than one.
Previously in the actual parade the characters would just wander around the arena perimeter, so if you were in a good spot, you could be certain that you would get photos & autographs. Not so much the case now :'(
More news about Stars n Cars today and its future. FOr the summer season it's all change from a parade to a meet and greet. Details courtesy of InsideDLParis on twitter.
From 5 July this year only 4 of the original Cars will be used for a new meet 'n' greet that has been tested for the last couple of weeks.[/size]/quote]

[/size][/size]This meet 'n' greet version, including at least 15 Disney Characters, will run through 31 August. [/size]

[/size]This equals the end of WDS having it's own parade which is a very say day. I think this should be an addittion to the studio plus Stars N Cars. This parade needs to be looked after I think.

That's sad indeed. Stars n' Cars used to be a good show, but it's decreased slowly every year, ending being just a simple massive meet-n-greet.
However, InsideDLParis later added: "However, the Incredibles are awaiting you at Backlot for a little surprise appereance for the same running period". (x (https://twitter.com/InsideDLParis/status/476431997293068288))
This means for now Incredibles meet-n-greet. Possibly a short show too...?
do you think it will be on up till the 5th as we go 30/6 - 4/7...?
According to "Inside DL Paris" Twitter the Stars 'n' Cars parade has finished and The Incredibles hit the Road is now on its route. Does anyone know if this is for good or just for a limited time? I was looking forward to seeing Stars 'n' Cars on my visit to DLP in September. Ta.
Whhhhaaaat!?

That was my reaction when I read it!!!
No! I love stars n cars! Hopefully temporary and just building hype for the new incredibles.
From what I could gather from various sites the stars and cars are doing meet and greets rather than the parade and the incredibles are doing something similar. It doesn't say how long this will last though.
According to InsideDLParis (https://twitter.com/InsideDLParis/status/484661333527654400) The Incredibles will "hit the road" until 31 August.
Phew...
I don't want to sound too harsh.. but an Incredibles parade? Nice to see they're up to date in the park. Or they're just being über-early for The Incredibles 2 - which isn't due out until '19 or '20.

I agree it's nice to see they're up to date in the park but there are only two characters in the Incredibles parade.
^In this new parade? Surely not.. that's a new low even for DLP standards.
Actually I can't see how they can make a full parade from The Incredibles. There's not enough characters IMO.
