Disney's Once Upon a Dream Parade

[tinkswishes]

Lotso was in the parade today because of the Prince of "I have lots of money so I can pay to have new characters when I'm here" was in DLP today and yesterday.

Charactersphotoblog on facebook has photos and I'm sure they will post youtube links tonight.

Lol!

What was the Prince's actual name?

Prince Farhad or something similar to that. He owns the most shares in Disneyland Paris apparently.

[dagobert]

His name is Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal:

He owns 10% of Euro Disney SCA, the Holding Company of Disneyland Paris. TWDC owns 39.8% and the remaining 50.2% belongs to general shareholders.

10% isn't really many shares when you  think about it.

Everyone I seen on Facebook have been called him Prince Fahrad (something along them lines)

Unless he goes by 2 names or something

Maybe it was another Arabian Prince and not the one who owns the 10%?

I'm sure Disney would offer everyone who pays a million euros a special parade.

Prince Al-waleed is the newphew of King Fahad so maybe thats the connection there.

I just wish I was there to see Lotso.

What I think is sad about OUAD Parade, it was the finest in the Disney kingdom, but these show stops have once again wrecked it. I love that the new Sounsational Parade in California does not have any show stops.

Dr. Facilier, Lotso, Three Little Pigs, Max, Rapunzel & Flynn were all there, I've only found videos of Facilier, The Pigs & Max but I have heard about Lotso, Rapunzel and Flynn.

Will find the videos later.

I looked at U Tube trying to find a video of Lotso in the parade at DLP; but unfortunately couldn't find one. :cry:

We were there last Thursday and got back home Tuesday. We wondered why we only had Lotso on the parade the once lol. I noticed Max, the 3 pigs, 7 dwarfs and few others that weren't on the pardade the other days. Dont think Rapunzel was on the parade though.

Here are the two videos of Lotso we have, they are a bit wobbly as I was filming with one hand whilst holding my daughter.

Thank you so much for putting up the Lotso videos - has really made my night! :thumbs:   Let's hope Lotso is soon a permanent fixture on the parade! /   I did e mail DLP to ask whether Lotso would be doing any meet and greets; but unfortunately I didn't receive a response. :cry:

Just watched this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vw4tlY7kCeg
And it made me want to cry a little if I'm honest. I still find it hard to believe they've put that showstop in place of what went before. Watching the opening and the majority of the parade, how well it flows, the music merging together seamlessly... and then just, noise with the showstop.

I really wish they'd bring back Just like we dreamed it. I'm going this summer with my family, and I'm so tempted to avoid this just because of that.

Couldn't agree with you more!!  Like what has been said before - what about the kids that don't get picked - how upset will they be!  Also of course; what about the big kids that preferred the natural flow of the parade minus the show stops!

Unfortunately the big kids like us don't play a role in DLRP's plans on how to operate the resort.
