Looking forward to seeing this when we visit in December. Always loved the exhibits they've had in the past.

The Pixar parade looks really cute - though I think I might prefer Soundsational (though, might just be that I really liked that parade) and still feels to me like this should be in DCA and Pain the Night should be in DLR, but I know they are trying to impact crowds at each going forward, etc.

Didn't Paint the Night move over to DCA?

I will point out at one point WDW had FIVE parades (if we go all the way back to Tapestry of Nations - which admittedly was only around for 2 years and that was 17 years ago) but even as recently as 5 years ago had FOUR and now has one - which is pretty pathetic.

I'd love to hear the reasoning from an executive around their thinking on parades ... my guess is they feel they need things like that at DLR for the locals to keep things fresh and something for them to see, etc. whereas at WDW the crowds are there and lots of first timers that are more concerned with rides than parades. Basically, why spend the money on parades and all the performers needed when they don't have to

But I do think more parades would be good - heck, bringing something (back) to Animal Kingdom would be something else drawing people there besides Pandora now/give something else for people to do there

Oh - it's definitely a cost thing right? They are paying dozens (hundreds?) of performers for these parades. I am not even that huge a fan of the parades (though I miss a nighttime parade at MK a bunch), but it is one of the poorer examples of the removal of entertainment at the same time that prices rise. I also think the main reason you have them is that mid-day is the most crowded time of day in the parks, and people are maybe wearing down a bit. It takes some of the crowds from the rides, and at the same time holds people in the parks that might otherwise head back to their hotel. (This is a big reason for the nightime spectacles - to keep people in the parks as long as possible.) I can see where in a cost-benefit analysis though parades are probably pretty disposable.

I am getting pretty excited for this movie.

I still want to get a better grasp onto the whole plot and do think the whole "making fun of the dumb male figure who tries to run the household" could get old fast - but definitely has potential and a lot of good one-liners so far
