Do they ever soft open a parade?

[Judy from Boise]

The new parade is set to debut on the 27th, our last day is the 25th.....do they ever do unannounced soft opens?

 

[perlster]

yes

longer answer - I think that rather than "soft openings" they are called "previews". There were a few performances of the Pixar Play Parade before the official opening date. AP holders may get notified in advance of these early shows, which might be considered final dress rehearsals.

Me too!! I hope its just as good. When is the new parade gonna start? What is is it called? I am so out of the Disney loop on so many things. I havent been around for awhile to learn all the new updates and current renovations. I still have so many questions.

I read on the Disney site that it opens on March 27, which is our last day in the park so I am excited. The disney site shows the following:
