Spring Open Still Scheduled for Soundsational Parade?

[ImTooExcitedToSleep]

The Orange County Register is reporting that Disneyland still plans on a spring open for the new Mickey's Soundsational Parade.

From the article:

But John McClintock, a Disneyland Resort spokesman, said the parade debut is still planned for this spring — meaning before June 21. McClintock didn’t release a specific start date.

Here's a link to the article:

This will likely be like WOC's "Spring" opening (mid-June). I understand that anything before June 21 is technically "Spring", but they really milk it! "Spring" to me is March/April/May. Just a tease, really

(or perhaps, some WDW folks being a little too anxious to communicate "information" that may not be up-to-date)

The article / press release that started this whole brouhaha is here - this is an official site, but one designed for WDW PR.

Given that deadlines or goals are not set in stone, and subject to changes forced by local conditions, I'd put much more stock in a report that came out of Anaheim or even Burbank than Orlando.

I just read a report yesterday confirming that Sky School, Little Mermaid and Soundsational will all open in early summer now and the resort is expected to used the 3 openings in a tandem for a large summer promotion similar to Summer Nightastic in terms of weight. Sorry I don't have a link to support that.. if it's true let's just hope everything is on time!

All of those reports came from the link that "perlster" posted above.

Ah, found it:

It seems odd that the biggest Disneyland news this week came out of a Walt Disney World press release, but we now have confirmation from Disney that the reopening of Star Tours, the opening of the new The Little Mermaid – Ariel's Undersea Adventure attraction, and the debut of Mickey's Soundsational Parade all take place this summer, rather than the spring dates many fans were hoping for. Star Tours 2.0 is set to debut May 20 at Disney's Hollywood Studios in Florida as part of the just-announced Star Tours Weekends, but Disney says the West Coast version won't reopen until an unspecified date in June.


The press release also lists The Little Mermaid ride and Disneyland's new parade as part of Disneyland's summer line-up, though no specific dates were included. It's possible that Disney will time the three openings together as part of a major summer marketing campaign, like the Summer Nighttastic promotion from 2009 and last year's debut of the World of Color show.
