Disney Dance Express (2011)

Festival Disney · January 11, 2011, 09:34:23 PM

Character Central has revealed some interesting facts about the charecter train for this year's Magical Moments Festival!

QuoteThe All Star Express will not be stopping for meets anymore - it will be like Move it, Shake it in the Magic Kingdom, and will have a live host, dancers and just the Fab 5 and friends – not the random fare seen in the past when it used to be the Character Express. I have been told it will stop halfway up Main Street to party. The music is expected to be a remix or very similar to Move It, Shake It.

That should be brilliant! I really enjoyed Move It, Shake it! Hopefully Paris use it tactically like they do at MK, and roll it out if they need to draw people to Main Street to shorten queue lines elsewhere.

I'm a bit more excited for the festival now that it's looking like it'll turn into a year with a focus on entertainment!

At first I rolled my eyes before reading the original post as I knew it would be abotu that bloody train, and it just having a new colour.

But no, I will eat my hat. This sounds very, very good, and is exactly how the train should be used.

One question, who are the fab 5?

The fab 5 normally include : Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy and Pluto.

'And Friends' seems to usually mean Chip & Dale, Daisy and occasionally Clarice although I haven't seen her about in ages! Would be awesome to see them use Huey, Dewey and Louie/Scrooge McDuck too! It'd fill one of the carriages!

It would be pretty cool if they decided to add a new float or two, but I doubt that would happen.
Does anyone know just how similar this is going to be to Move it, Shake it? Will we see stilt walkers etc?

I loved Move It! Shake It! so when I first heard about the Dance Express, I was hoping for something similar. Look forward to finding out what it will be like when I go back in May.

Move It! Shake It! song sound so boring

I've saw Move It! Shake it! Street Party when I was at Magic Kingdom in Disney World, Florida in September and October.
And the show just didn't appeal to me. Just seemed like some floats out in the street, and they tried to get people to dance.

Have a look at the video under and you can see the street party.

Sounds cool as I got pretty fed up of trying to rugby scrum people with the character meets.

Totally agree with that! plus I think they have exhausted the character Express, I loved it for the 15th Anniversary but after that it just was over used! I don't know what I think about it being used again for this parade type thing, I can't say I am that excited by it really :?

That's... Hannah Montana's "Pump up the Party", isn't it?
I expect they aren't even thinking on using that song for the DLP parade. The parade itself looks nice, though.

According to the link, it is Move It! Shake it! Street Party.
The parade is ok I think, but as I said, it isn't anything for me. But that's my opinion.

so as they aren't doing any 'meet and greets' does that mean the characters are going to be out and about more often?? :?

Festival Disney · March 26, 2011, 12:10:02 AM

First Videos!! It's a nice change from just meet'n greets!

I must say, I'm pleasently suprised. Quite entertaining!
