Re: How long will Disney's Electrical Parade be at Walt Disney World?
:( Well, THAT is incredibly disappointing. Almost as much so as the music change. But as long as I get to see the parade this year, I'll be alright haha :) Now, if I only knew if the MVMCP was worth the money...

It honestly shocks me how little regard Disney shows for their own history sometimes. Though I disagree, I understand removing the Blue Fairy for purpose of "synergy" to promote an ill-conceived "franchise." But why in the world would they pay someone to destroy the quintessential float from the original Electrical Parade?? Especially as often as Disney is known to reuse parade floats?? At the very least, wouldn't the Archives want it?

What they choose to send to the Archives never makes much sense. When the Enchanted Tiki Room Under New Management closed, they knew they wanted something from it. So they saved Uh-Oa's head. Not the whole figure, just the head. One of the maintenance guys from the Jungle Cruise was talking about sawing it off and sending it to California. He said it was a very weird experience.

That really is strange. I don't think anybody knows what they're doing in the parks anymore.
