Question Block Party OR Play Parade?

I'm just curious.

Which do you think is better? I prefer Block Party, but I've never been to the Play Parade.

I say neither, but block is the least obnoxious.

How do you pick one if you haven't seen the other? Oh well. I like the Play Parade. Better floats and whatnot.

I loved Block Party Bash and so did my son! It was a fun parade that really involved kids and we always had fun when we watched it.

I picked both for a couple reasons. Pixar Play parade is really a better parade than the block party bash, however i have only worked block party and actually didnt mind it too much. i would never........ EVER in a million years want to work the pixar play parade, the crew i hear is aweful.

I saw Block Party on my recent trip to WDW, and the Play Parade just doesn't.. apeal to me. No offense SubmanK and PPP lovers out there.

I like BPB's music more, I guess that's why.


EDIT: I've also never been to DCA, that's why I've never seen the PPP. I've watched vids, but I havn't experienced it live yet.

I like the play parade much better. It's much more exciting and creative. I always thought the block party bash was pretty lame and i couldn't wait until they brought something else out.

I haven't seen the new one, but I'm' excited to. I see all these things through the eyes of my 4 year old, so I'll let him be the judge when we see it :)

I prefer the play parade. I didn't really like in the Block Party Bash how you couldn't enjoy each of the three floats to its full potential. I think that Pixar Play is more detailed and I love that it squirts water/bubbles at you. And I fell in love with the slinky dog at the end :D

To add to my earlier post, I think that it's extremely awesome that it's someone's job to dress up like a toy dog's rear end and walk down a busy street in one of the world's most popular theme parks.

That's all :P

I'm just glad there's another way to get wet in DCA besides GRR and Bugsland. Too bad the parade occurs later in the day.

I've seen both multiple times, and I voted for Block Party because I think it's more interactive than Play Parade. Play Parade does have its good points (water on a hot day! You can actually see the whole thing without moving! Adorable characters!) but I think my heart will always belong to Block Party. :) (This may also be because one of the Army Men at Block Party was totally hitting on me... but that's another story. Heh.)

I like that about the Play Parade. What if Disney found a way to combine the PPP and BPB? Now THAT would be a parade!

I haven't seen either, to be honest. Then again I never pay attention to the program with the parade times.
