There's Concept Art To

Looks like this will be like Party Gras Parade (1990), and according to Disney, it's not a parade, but a “interactive street party", like Block Party Bash.

Here's A Note From LA Times:

Quote:

Although Disneyland isn’t calling it a parade, the new “interactive street party” debuting March 27 will travel along the parade route, replace the outgoing parade and essentially serve as the daily parade.

In typical punctuation-challenged Disney fashion, Celebrate! A Street Party will feature seven floats and 90 performers in a “celebratory song and dance party.
”
Banners and ribbons will connect the floats as if in a long chain, according to Screamscape, with periodic high points punctuated by confetti-cannon fodder. Cue the street sweepers.

The anti-parade will make at least two show stops — on Main Street U.S.A. and in front of It’s a Small World — where singers, dancers, stilt-walkers and Disney characters will shake and shimmy to party songs.

Similar in scale to the Parade of Dreams, which the new whatever-you-do-don’t-call-it-a-parade replaces, Celebrate! A Street Party will typically run twice on busy days and once on slower days.

So What do you guys think about this??

Will it be replacing anything? If so what will it be replacing?

Walt Disney's Parade of Dreams has been replaced for that parade.

Yea unfortunately Parade of Dreams made its final run on November 11, 2008. There are currently no parades running in Disneyland Park right now until this new street party debuts.

So is the long awaited arrival of the POD in WDW finally going to happen?

And I loved BPB (hence my name BPBfan :]), so I'm sure I'll love Celebrate!
Can't wait for the premiere!

Wisher · 01-24-2009, 04:33 PM

It sounds like it'll be fun, but I'm just hoping it isn't a loud mess that should be avoided, as in "Oh, man, the street party's starting, I better go hide in Fantasyland." But I'm probably just being bitter because I'm going to miss the PoD.

I didn't know it was going to have a bunch of floats, though. I thought it was just going to be some dancers, etc. I'm not too sure about the whole "party songs" thing- will it just be annoying stuff, like Miley Cyrus and all that junk?

Well, I'm looking forward to seeing what it's like. I read somewhere that it was involve conga lines. Yee-haw.

I'm not sure what's going to happen to POD. It will most likely go into storage at an offsite location to scrap them and salvage the reusable parts such as the drive units and frames. I don't think it will be going to WDW since I was at WDW not too long ago and took a backstage tour of their parades, and they just do not have the room for the POD floats. No way.

Just to clarify just for my sake that there are 7 "floats" as they call them. However, according to what I've been told, there will only be 3 "drive-able" floats and the others will be pushed by performers and what not. I'm not exactly sure how this is going to work since they want all of the "floats" or "rolling stages" to be connected on top to make it look like one continuous unit. We'll just have to wait and see.
