I recall hearing that after x-mas the almost 5 year run of The Parade of Stars would not be coming back. Anyone have any info on this and if it is gone anything special for the last run of it?

I bet it will be coming back after christmas. They wouldnt start the new parade early and I dont even think they have the next parade ready because they were worrying about the size of the parade. And i doubt they would just not have a parade for that long.

Parade of the Stars will return, the date (subject to change) is Friday January 7th, and will run thru Sunday April 3rd.... Then for the rest of April, we will have a "Cavalcade" instead of a parade... then on May 5th, we will have the new 50th Parade, and the PotS will be shipped to Hong Kong.....

Is the electrical parade leaving when block party bash comes to dca? I heard the block party bash is a night parade.

A Cavalcade is something Disney offers when they can't offer a parade, they had one this last Monday thru Thursday, and also have a version called the Rainy Day Cavalcade.

Basically it is a really small parade, so small they can't call it a parade, which consists of a couple of vehicles and some Rubber Heads.......

i was told (on 11/21) by three ACF performers who also dance in POTS that POTS will not return after christmas.

this seemed to be tentative, however- they're looking at it as a way to save and invest a little more into the 50th parade. also, by contrast- the 50th parade will create a much bigger buzz if it doesn't follow directly on the heels of POTS exiting the parade route.

as in the same way with removing believe to present imagine...the 50th fireworks will seem huge and dazzling in comparison to imagine- they're creating the most favorable comparison possible in the public's mind.

Um... Hooray. Never did like the Parade of Stars.

Okay, to be honest, it starts off good. I just don't like the cloud people idea... sorry.

I thought it was a fine parade it has just been around for too long.

Amen.

I have begun to hate that parade. It's been around waaay to long.

Remember when DL used to do cool parades? The Mulan one was great.

Maybe I have one more chance to get picked for the darn thing. I want to be in the parade sooooo much. I wanna wear the tutu and prance around. My daughter got so tired of me saying, "we could do that, we would look so cute,...." :D Still, I agree it's long past time for a new one.

I believe there are people who walk around in the cloud overalls and will randomly come up to people in DL and ask them to be in the parade.
