The bands Mascot~~SPOT:

Well, you can't bring a dalmatian without getting the attention of Cruelle deVil.

She really knows how to make an entrance!

 

[DizNee Luver]

Well Cruella has taken an interest in the Hook & Ladder's mascot; Spot.

Cruella trying to make a deal with the bandleader. Love his eye rolls.....lol

Cruella has brought her newest outfit & grabs a guy out of the audience to model it......he was standing right next to me....I was hoping she'd grab Tyler....but I will say....this guy got into it!!

This guy was working it!!

Cruella tried to sneak the dog off, but got caught. She made a dramatic exit!

Michelle had made it to the park during this performance and she graciously let us finish watching!!

There's actually more of this show to come!!

 

[DizNee Luver]

So after Cruella's departure, Chip and Dale come out!!

Dancing around with their fire axes & chopping at the piano.

Dale has a moment with the band.

Chip and Dale danced for everyone.....I was happy with a few of these shots!!

 

[DisneyStitch626]

Wow, you guys caught quite the show! I love this shot.

 

[DizNee Luver]

Chip and Dale continued to dance.....but now with their fire axes.

They even picked a couple kids to come up & dance with them & the axes.

TA DA!!!!!!

Chip & Dale danced as they made their exit.

There's even more Firemens Band & guests to come!!!

 

[DizNee Luver]

Wow, you guys caught quite the show! I love this shot.

Thanx Andrea!!! Between Ty & I we ended up with a number of really good character shots!!!

 

[DizNee Luver]

Some more of the Hook & Laddier Firemen's Band.

Here's Ty's pics:

Here's mine:

We still have one more special guest to appear before the band is done.....who will it be??

 

[kaoden39]

I love the Cruella pictures!! That had to have been fun to watch!!

 

[DizNee Luver]

The band's last guest was GOOFY!!! I was gonna try & put these in an order with Ty's & my pics....but I was going crosseyed......so I'm putting them in like I did the band last post......his & mine.....lol

Tyler's pictures of Goofy:

My pictures of Goofy:

We really had a blast watching both of these bands on Main Street. I tell you, Main Street is the place to be for activity.....when you run in & head to the different lands....you're missing out on some wonderful memories. So slow down, take an afternoon break on one of the benches & wait to see something wonderful happen. It will happen....you just have to be open & ready for it!! MAGICAL MEMORIES!!

 

[DizNee Luver]

I love the Cruella pictures!! That had to have been fun to watch!!

It was very entertaining & it helped having a willing volunteer to ham it up with her!!

 

[DizNee Luver]

We headed towards Fantasyland with Michelle & I noticed a crowd of people on the left of the castle.....so I climbed up on the benches & snapped a few pictures of my favorite princess~~Cinderella!

So we got in line for Snow White & Ty took a couple pics of the Clock Tower on top of Peter Pan.

Our next ride was on Mr Toad's Wild Ride...Ty opted to sit this one out. We rode the teacups....but no pics on any of the Fantasyland rides.

Our next thing to do was to find a spot to catch Mickey's Soundsational Parade. So we headed to the courtyard area in front of It's a Small World and found our spot. Michelle went to find some lunch & Tyler used our wait time as a good time for a quick catnap.....lol

It was finally time for the parade to start.......its starts out with the Drum Corp.

Here's Minnie & Mickey with their colorful float.

Pluto followed behind.

Goofy with his float.

 

[DizNee Luver]

The Genie....I've never seen Genie outside of the Aladdin Musical at DCA....so that was kinda cool!!

The Arabian Dancers.

Aladdin on his float!! (ummmm, where's Jasmine??)

APU:

 

[DizNee Luver]

Under the Sea Dancers.

Ariel's Float:

This is so true! Even moreso I think in DL than in the MK. I had such a blast watching Cruella and Chip & Dale with the Fireman Band on our trip. Would have loved to see Mickey and Minnie with the Straw Hat Band! That is my number one piece of advice to all Disney Park visitors ... don't run from attraction to attraction ... stop for the little things! They made the trip extra special!

It's those little things that what set Disney apart from other parks. All those details, the entertainers, theming, castmembers, etc. If you run from one "ride" to the next....you're totally missing the point of Walt's parks!!

Love love this installment. Mickey and Minnie were so cute and I never saw them dancing together before. SO cute!! And I LOVED the fireman band and all the characters esp Cruella. That guy was hilarous!! I love see people, esp ones you wouldn't think would get into it, having fun. I also loved seeing the old man in the back with the big smile and clapping. So many people think of Disney as a place for kids and it is so nice to see ALL ages enjoying themselves. But I have to say what was with the lady with the purple shirt and short brown hair. Yikes. GRUMPY lol. How can you watch stuff like that and NOT have a smile on your face. Heck I had a smile just looking at the pics LOL.

I agree I am getting to the age where I only like to do the rides maybe once and then I let the girls go on rides and I just love to sit and people watch or see things like this. For years it was all about run here run there and just do the "big" stuff but now I am enjoying sitting back and enjoying the "little things".

By the way I have to say I have only been on astro orbitor a few times but it is actually pretty fun. Next time you go with the kids you should try it. I bet they would love it.

Oh and Innoventions is another I thought I wouldn't care about but the house of the future is REALLY cool and they have an interactive Peter Pan bedroom you will love it. Plus they have the little robot Asimo that is really cool.

Next time you go you should check it out!

Now you'll know when to stop to see Mickey & Minnie....if you see the Strawhatters......they'll most likely be joining them!! I really had fun just watching both of these performances. Wonderful musicians!!! The characters are an added bonus!!

How funny.....I hadn't looked at the people in the background of my photos. She looks like the type that rarely smiles....but she stayed & watched....so she must have been enjoying it. I think.........

I'll get into Innoventions one of these trips....I always plan to do it, but just haven't yet. I'm sure once I do, I'll be kicking myself for waiting so long.....lol Astro Orbitor just doesn't interest me.....it's kinda like Dumbo, but I'm really not into "space" stuff. (Love Space Mtn....for the dark rollercoaster & Star Tours because its just awesome). But space/astronauts/etc is not really an interest of mine....so riding in a rocket isn't on the top of my list.
