Cirque du Soilel to Stream 60-Minutes of “Zed” Created Exclusively for Tokyo Disneyland

Too bad that the timing overlaps with the Disney on Broadway streaming, if that lasts more than an hour. Or possibly they’re back-to-back?

We watched the Easter parade, too! I miss the old way, too. Now, it's like talking as the floats pass by in the background then cut to music performance, Disney commercial, in-program-not-quite-a-commercial advertisement, cut to another song. I want to see the parade! The floats! The characters! The Christmas parade is almost unwatchable now.

I didn’t even watch it last year. Instead, I found a high quality recording of the full Christmas parade on Youtube (from a party I think) and we watched it on the tv. No annoying narration either!

Time to reign it in over here too. I have no idea what Futurama has to do with anything right now.

Time to reign it in over here too. I have no idea what Futurama has to do with anything right now.

I think it was brought up as an idea for a Universal house in their non-Halloween Night survey. And then WRT to D+, so it at least started off as related.

I'd watch most anything with Stellan Skarsgard.

Wow! 78 BUCKS! Are you serious, Disney?
Oh, and they're sold out. I guess they were!

Last month a pair of Little Mermaid ears that retailed for $160 bucks sold out in less than a week - I'm a collector, but some of these prices are insane now.
