New parade coming

[Zee79]

A new parade sounds great, the happiness is here parade looked OK  & is different but maybe it's time for something different at DLP. I did notice how much more civilised the crowds were watching it, makes a change from the push & shoving that often occurs.

Please note that a new parade doesn't have to mean a NEW parade.
The parade for 20th anniversary (Disney Magic On Parade) was also advertised as "new", but it's just a revamp of the Once Upon A Dream Parade.

This is fantastic news! A brand new parade is just what is needed at DLP and with float designers involved it's a good sign that we will indeed have brand new floats. So exciting! I really hope DLP goes back to having a parade soundtrack with different Disney songs related to the floats just like the Once Upon A Dream parade.

What characters and floats would people like to see in the new parade?

Good point. And that would be a darn sight cheaper than shelling out for all new units.

Something unusual. Like Tron.

Absolutely agree, that was mind blowing in person.

Would love to see a Big Hero 6 float with a huge Baymax

Wishlisting here, I'd love if they kept Magic on Parade, not because it is amazing but simply because I'd prefer a Nighttime parade. Paint the Night is breathtaking.

Great news. It seems like the Walt Disney World company taking over majority of the park is helping it a lot. Here's hoping for three new shows and a new parade for Walt Disney Studios Park too by 2017.

I think for the anniversary DLP would rather have a brand new Daytime parade as for now the main park night entertainment is sorted with Disney Dreams. It gets a high guest satisfaction and is a stunning show which end the day perfectly.

Personally if you are going to launch a big anniversary year how best to do it then with a brand new parade. We've had the same parade floats for 20 years by the time the anniversary comes so new floats would be a joy. I agree with an earlier comment I would prefer a night time parade to be in WDS to give that park a full day experience. Disney Dreams is a brilliant way to end the day in the Magic Kingdom park.

I must admit, I don't think Magic On Parade is too old or aging, although I think it will be if it lasts another 5 years, so I'll be intrigued to see what the new parade features, hopefully Pooh and Friends stick around, would like to see Stitch join the parade (think he is popular enough for it) and maybe the Aristocats?

Not too keen on the sound of Paint The Night, I like the soundtrack, but when I watch the parade on YouTube, I don't compare it to Fantillusion, MSEP or any of the daytime parades, although would there be much designing needed for a Paint the Night copy?

Here's an interview with Jody Daily, one of the imagineers who are designing the parade.

The stars and cars did end a while back.

It's been gone for quite a while now although I think it comes back on special occasions such as over Christmas.
