...... I read today that between <b>February 8th - 9th March</b> they are having <i>"The Jungle Book Carnival" ............. "Boogie with all your friends from the Jungle Book where the sizzling sights and sounds of Carnival music & dazzling costumes come to life."</i>

...... I wonder if they are doing this the same way as the Disney's Toon Circus we saw which just took place in Main Street in Summer 2001 or if this is a parade? ( Janice and I had a ball watching this!!)

Also, you probably know this already but from <b>9th Nov - 23 March</b> it is the <i>"Farewell Season: Main Street Electrical Parade" so will be taking place nightly within those dates........ "because after 23rd March, it's lights out."</i>

Are you a fan of this parade? We enjoyed watching this from above upstairs at Main Street Station ...... still, llooking forward to the replacement........ anyone know what that will be? ( Rob??)

Shirley, the Jungle Book is a new parade, which is on a test-run basis in the New Year period. The replacement for MSEP is Disney's Fantillusion (or bout one third of it!) from Disneyland Tokyo. It is basically a more advanced version of MSEP, with a new theme and floats.
