A bit strong maybe?

How about Love, Like or Indifferent?

We're Indifferent.

I remain firmly in the love it camp and I LOVE the music. :P For me it's so much better than some of the awful cardboard pop they've had in the past . I adored Magic Everywhere but always found Just Like We Dreamed It bland. Lost in the Magic has that really upbeat jazz/swing tone that I love and I'm really fond of the Pirates Life For Me interlude.

Tbh I think the only other parade song that currently comes close is Paint The Night.

I hate it so maybe then "love, like, indifferent or hate?"

As for being comparable to the paint the night parade, that's very insulting to the Paint parade. Miles apart.

I'm not talking about the parade itself but the music. Paint the Night is a night parade (which I would love to see at Paris once more) and a completely different beast.

Stars on Parade however is a great daytime parade with some amazing floats and will be even better when the new princess float comes in.

The floats look awesome. What reduces the fun is the people, though. Handicapped guests are now located @ castle stage, so there WOULD be enough possibilities for carers and accompanying people to sit down, but they don't. Instead, they push themselves in front of people in wheelchairs and the such, meaning anyone who cannot stand, cannot see. This is awful and unnecessary

This makes me mad, as we have 3 boys with special needs, 1 of whom uses a wheelchair we make good use of the area for disabled at the parades, we arrive in plenty of time, put the kids against the rope and then kneel directly behind them so that we're not obstructing the views of others, (a good 45 mins kneeling isn't exactly comfortable) but we happily do it cos we're grateful and try to be conscious of other guests, what drives me insane is when people arrive last minute and as the parade is starting push their kids in front, thinking its ok.  this bugs me for 2 reasons- if youre in the disabled area as an adult and can have 1 guest it's either your own child who should remain with you or your child is disabled in which case you should be by their side not 6 feet away looking the other way with4 layers of people between you. and also ive arrived early so that my son has space and me as a barrier so that he doesn't accidentally hurt anyone with his twitching and spasming. this is really hard to do when another kid gets pushed in front of him,. grrrrrr
sorry mini rant over

See, I absolutely adore this parade. The floats, the music...gawsh! :D

However, a common theme with Steve Davison/WDI is the same old characters in every parade. There's no variety apart from float and music design between the different parks these days.

I had a struggle with Magic on Parade - I think it was the loss of the villians for me and I really don't like one song looped for an entire parade. It just doesn't sit well with me.

Still, I love the steampunk vibe of this parade. Does anyone know why Mickey, Minnie and Goofy aren't in their normal positions lately?

There was a fault with the first float and they were waiting for parts to fix it. It's all working again now so Mickey, Minnie and Goofy are back in their proper places and Chip n Dale are on the float again rather than walking behind it.  :)
