Celebrate a Dream Come True Final Parade

Post by Cardinals314 » Aug Tue 13, 2013 12:09 pm

As all of you know, the Festival of Fantasy is coming to MK next year. The operating hours for 2014 have been released, confirming the ending of Celebrate a Dream Come True. Since Disney has the Christmastime parade for Christmas week, the final parade for Celebrate a Dream Come True falls on December 19th. The Festival of Fantasy is expected to begin in March 2014.

Interesting to see then that there will be a time frame where MK will not have a daytime parade leaving DAK as the only park with a parade in the afternoon. I for one will not miss celebrate a dream come true. It was a nice parade in its day, but Disney just tried recycling it too much and the new floats will be a huge welcomed sight.

Well, it would also be a good time to do the concrete replacement work for Main Street USA if it is still going on then. There hasn't been much progress on that specific project

I hope there is some sort of parade in Feb. I would hate my daughter's first trip to not have a parade!

Was the long, mirrored floats that the Princesses ride on one of those recycled floats? I swear that float has been around for-ever ~ said in my best Gonzo voice of course! ;)

So if that is the case we would see no MSEP performances either in that timeframe along with no Move It.

I think the castle float is at least 25 years old now. I personally can link it to the 25th anniversary and I think it was also seen in the 15th anniversary parade. Pretty much any float that had a snow-globe was new for that parade. The castle float reappeared sometime during the share a dream come true parade as a sub unit during refurbishment and when the princess float was cut down to one third of the the original size.
