No SpectroMagic Parade in March!!!!

[Dad of 3]

On the official WDW site:

http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/wd...KCalendarParkHoursMonthlyViewPage&date=032004

The MK Park March 2004 calendar used to have the SpectroMagic parade listed for at least every Saturday and many of the weekdays as well. But when I check the calendar today. None. No SpectroMagic parade scheduled for any day in March. Hopefully it is just a computer problem that will soon be corrected, but the afternoon parade, Wishes fireworks, and the park hours to my knowledge are still the same. SpectroMagic is gone. Maybe it is going into rehab? April hours are not up yet, so I cannot tell if the unfortunate trend will continue. Also, the park hours web page says "schedules updated daily", maybe I just hit the site when it was having a bad day.

We have missed the parade in the past and where looking forward to watching it this March. Does anyone know more about this?

I would think times will be added later. March is the start of spring break time at Disney. They also have their Magic Music Days and many school music groups travel there for competition and fun. I have been in March 5 times and there has always been afternoon and evening parades. Don't lose hope yet, I really think Spectromagic will be held in March.

By the looks of it wdw hrs for March are being slowly added as 2 of the 4 parks are listed and the water parks have hrs too!

When re you going inMarch?

Dad of 3 ... I just went to the site to double check and it states the hours are unavailable. They must be making some changes. When I originally checked for the dates of 3/13-3/20, the only night Spectro magic wasn't running was on a Friday night. I'd say give it a couple days to all shake out.

You got me all worried there! The whole site is not working now. Everything says hours unavailable for all months. Just a glitch or they are working on it. I bet there are longer hours in March and it will be crowded! (I am going in March too!)

Check a few days ago and it had the schedules for SpectroMagic

posted then.

We'll be down there in March too! I checked the sight on January 1st, and it didn't have hours for AK at all, nor any parade times for MGM. It DID have SpectroMagic listed for when we'll be there (last week of March), as Sat. the 27th, and Tues. the 30th. A couple of days later, I checked again, and all hours were listed. So, give it a couple of days, and I'm sure everything will be there!

I checked the March calendar again today, but still no SpectroMagic scheduled. The park hours are appearing on the March calendar again, but click on any day no SpectroMagic parade.. As others above have said, the parade was on the calendar eariler this month. Yesterday, I could not remember the time on the 18th, so I checked and to my surprise it was gone as well as every other day.

The mouse giveth and taketh away! I hope he giveth back again too.

WDSearcher, I bet you can smell mass panic from a mile away when it's just in the brewing stages. Good thing you came along to squelch our concerns!! I'm so grateful to folks like you who are "in the know." Thank you!

Does the WDW cast portal indicate if it is running on Friday 2/13/04? Thanks

I was having a bad day so I came to this forum to cheer me up then I see this thread!! At least WDSearcher has helped turn that around a bit. Thanks for posting the dates!
