That’s why I said it’s the issue that is hard to forgive - cause it’s the easiest to fix and it would have been the easiest to fix before the parade opened.
Would you classify the parade as being good tho? I know its touch to actually be fair bc we went so long with no parade at night. But if you could be honest. Is this parade really good? Maybe classifying it and asking is it that “bad” a better language is asking is this really that good? I have refrained from watching it bc it seems unfair but i think i may at some point to try and get an idea.
Yes I would. I watched it multiple nights in a row. It’s a good and enjoyable night parade. The music, intro, and concept are all wonderful.
It’s good and makes your MK evening better because you get it and fireworks.
Yes!!! How could I forget to mention - it made the MK feel like the MK again!!! Seriously - a night parade is part of the fabric of the castle park experience - just like the fireworks.
Hoping one of these will be the permanent removal of the Wish unit due to the movie’s lack of popularity and lukewarm enthusiasm from most park goers and its replacement will be revealed later on
I think they need to add more floats instead of replacing ones that already exist. I like the parade more than most people on here but it is a little short.
Based on the great reaction to Zootopia 2 : The Furries Strike Back, in typical Disney rushed fashion they will introduce a Zootopia float in 3-5 years.
While more floats wouldn’t be bad - I think it feels short because of the pacing and lack of characters and dancers in between each float. You could add 50% more floats but if they went by at the same pace with nothing else added it would still feel like a short parade. (I only saw it during the opening week - they may have slowed down the pace idk)
They have slowed the pace. I honestly like the large floats. I think more ground performers and a few smaller units (like other parades had—SpectroMen, Ursula, etc.) would fill it out well.
I’ve seen it several times and really enjoy it. But nothing is perfect. It could use more street performers - that is what looks budgeted out to me.
Personally the pacing of the floats themselves doesn’t feel off to me. Something needs to be done about the performers in between though. Like I said in my review after seeing it for the first time the with the exception of the performers with the princess float(even those ones are a little dark) the abstract style does not work.
The main thing with the dancers is that seemingly you’re not supposed to be looking at them, but what they’re holding. The butterflies, the runes and the fans/fiberoptics. The problem is that it’s not dark enough as you can still them.
I get what they were going for but There’s no way people aren't going to notice performers right in front of them so why not lean into it and cover their costumes with lights at least?
I mean, that's essentially what they did with the court dancers and why they at least work reasonably well in person. I don't personally mind the idea that the costumes are meant to recede, but they should incorporate additional lighted details that mimic and enhance the props. For instance, the Frozen cast should have more of the lighted runes affixed to their tabards, the Encanto crew could have a cascade of lighted butterfly appliqués that almost look like a ruffled closure on a diagonal, and the Moana dancers could have strategically-placed swirled fiber optics similar to the subtle patterns already on their outfits.
