What is the difference in TOD and TON?

[thinkerbell]

We saw the parade at Epcot in Dec. 1999, July 2000, and July 2001. It always seemed like the same parade. Did we only see the TON or was TOD there in July 2001? What is the difference between the two? I didn't realize there were two different ones.

I'm going out on a limb but I beleive so folks may call the Tapestry of Dreams parade the Tapestry of nations parade - but they are the same one.

The narration did change. TON was for the millenium, talked more about "time" and had the "Sage of Time" leading the parade. TOD was more about children's dreams. The main part of the parade was the same. I think they started TOD after the millenium, so you probably saw TOD in 2001. I have mixed feelings about the end of these parades. I did like TON better. I thought they added a festive atmosphere to the WS at night. On the otherhand, they were a pain if you need to get somewhere. Last December we didn't get as good seats for the Candlelight Processional because we were stopped at Morocco for the parade to enter.
