[hollymattbenmilo]

Hi, don't even ask what i am doing on here so early. A certain 4 year old woke me up at 4.20am to ask if we were going to Disneyland today!!

hahaha

ok saw this this :http://www.dlrpmagic.com/guides/15thanniversary/disneysonceuponadreamparade/guide/


what i am wondering, is i would really like to stand so we can see peter pan at the float stop... but for the christmas season.. are they not adding another float with Father christmas? Inw hich case... is this.. guide valid still?? As maybe only chance to see peter pan... which is a must!!?

any ideas??
or is he just inlcuded on one of the 8 floats??

We saw Peter Pan and Wendy in Adventureland, playing with the children on Captain Hook's boat. It's like a small playground with slides and they were there.

As for the parade, we stood by Small World and saw it all perfectly (my girls are princess mad so this is a perfect spot). Peter Pan doesn't get off the float so you can spot him wherever you stand.

As far as I'm aware, Santa rides on a new float which is placed at the back of the existing parade.

I don't know if this affects the positioning of the stops though. Personally, I would assume that the above guide is still valid because Santa is at the back of the parade rather than the front.

Last Christmas season, Santa was an extra float on the back of the existing OUAD parade, and when I was there, the parade didn't stop twice, only once (ie the princesses didn't stop in Fantasyland, only in front of the castle).

Its its still the same this year, Peter Pans float will stop at the bottom of Main St Usa, facing the bandstand, and just before it goes around the corner to City Hall. Peter and Wendy get down off the float, and dance and swordfight with Captain Cook and the pirates.

oh thank you for that! I thought i had read a few times and heard from a friend that sometimes peter and wendy get off the float and dance etc! oh i hope they do at least once!!!

Where I saw it, in the description I gave earlier in this thread, is the floats 2nd normal stop, and so it should stop there during Christmas season, when there is only one stop
