Welcome back! I can't wait to read all about your trip! I know you had to be happy to be back in WDW with the kids again.
We saw the Jammin Jungle Parade for the first time in 2012, and really loved it! The colors, the music, the characters...it's really energetic & fun. Unfortunately, I didn't find time to fit it into our 2013 trip, but I can look through your awesome pictures & pretend I was there. I totally agree with you about all the grand marshals in that parade! It's kind of amazing that everyone who has ever entered AK hasn't had the opportunity yet.
Thanks! Yes it was a lot of fun to be back with my family this time around!
One of these days I hope to be lucky enough to be a grand marshal on any Disney parade
Goofy's truck is adorable! I've never noticed the supplies on the back!
I love Donald's float with the duck bill on the front.
I love, love, love your parade pictures. They're gorgeous! So much colour in that parade!
Thanks Wendy! I think they should market Donald's float and sell them! I would totally buy one!
Glad you had a great trip - looking forward to that report!
In the meantime, great AK parade photos! What a colorful, energetic parade! We always seems to miss this, and your photos make you feel like you are right there watching!
I'm almost done prepping for that trip report so hopefully it will be up and running in another week. Been trying to write everything down before I forget things.
You know Dave, I really realize looking at your photos how much care Disney puts into everything. You need still photos just to be able to study all the little details that are so easy to miss when the parade is passing by.
They do have an awful lot of "Marshals" in this parade.
I do agree that the costumes and floats are beautiful. I guess I just find everything to be so similar and that's why I don't have a huge love for this parade? But it is unique, I'll give it that.
When you think about it, it's not that surprising that Disney takes such a long time putting together a new parade as evidenced by how long they've been working on the Festival of Fantasy. They are probably scrutinizing every detail over and over again. I'm pretty sure that the Donald float in the Jungle Parade went through several permutations before being finalized.
