I thought Parade of Dreams would play through the end of the 50th (December 2006), but according to the Mickey Montly inside the Disney Catalog, it will only be there until August 2006. Any guesses/hopes/wishes for what parade we'll get after that? :)

Bring back the new and improved EP to Main Street where it belongs! I won't be sad to see PoD go.

I won't either. It was a huge let down.

I though the 50th anniversary was only going until the end of September 2006.

Edited to add: Well, it is an 18-month celebration so I guess that would put it at the end of October (May 5, 2005 - November 5, 2006). Just in time to go into Christmas mode.

Ha!!! And wasn't the Parade of the Sars... er, Stars, only supposed to last through the 45th anniversary? Yeah... we'll see if they decide to actually spend money on something new...

I find it hard to believe that a brand new parade created from scratch that must have cost millions to design and operate will only last 18 months. Maybe they will modify it a bit to remove references to the 50th celebration, but dosen't make much financial sense to end it so soon

Parade of Dreams is marketed as part of the 50th celebration, and in some marketing it says it runs to the end of august 06, which is close or right about the end of the 50th celebration.

The parade itself was built for up to (key word) 5 year run. Meaning it most likely will run for several years after the 50th, but there is no guarantee to how long. My guess is up to about the 4th year or so. unless something comes up.

The parades are so incredibly expensive these days, that I don't think management will want to spend multi millions on a new parade that will only last several years. that is kind of the way things are done now.
hopefully we may see some slight changes and possible change outs and additions over the course of POD's run, but nothing is planned that I have heard. The only thing that will happen, most likely after the 50th, is a redressing, which is new costumes (sometimes with a new design) and new fabrics and flowers on floats, and an overall refurb.

but most likely POD will be around for plenty of time. But, to see it in all of its glory I would go during the 50th.

They're going to have to fix the floats any time soon if they want Parade of Dreams to last longer than August. :p
