What Happen to the Easter Parade?

[tea pot]

I was just talking to MS and she said that they no longer have one
and that they just add some extra features to the daily parade.
When did this happen?
How did I miss this.?
We have an opportunity to be in the MK on Easter and
I was so Looking forward to all the Easter/Spring Festivities and the Parade with the special music etc.

Oops typo
Happened
sorry

At least 10 years.

I did a search - the last time it was televised was 1999.

And yet somehow, Tokyo manages to put on a 3 month Easter celebration. WDW can some up with a 5 minute preparade at the MK and an Easter bunny meet and greet for one week. So sad when you look at what has been slowly whittled away over the years.

Agreed!

Used to be a most excellent parade, too, with lots of live music and dancing.

Come to think of it, maybe that's partly why it was discontinued. WDW doesn't have so many musicians and dancers on staff any more, with all the cutbacks in live shows and atmosphere entertainment.

I'm going to re-think the crowds and expense

But even before they stopped televising it, they didn't even have the parade on Easter Sunday! We went in 1995 or 1996, and we wanted to go to the parade on Easter and they didn't even have it, there were no decorations and the Easter Bunny was already gone! We were so upset! And that's the last time we will ever travel there around Easter the crowds were insane!!!
