Disney Dreams Come True Parade

The replacement for the Share A Dream Come True parade in the Magic Kingdom has arrived. On Sunday, August 27, Aronda viewed the new Disney Dreams Come True parade, and found it to be the functional equivalent of the former parade with a few minor changes. Most notable is the removal of the glass globes on most of the floats--the ones in which Disney characters used to be housed "snow globe" style. Now, the same floats have had the globes removed, allowing more movement of the characters on the floats, along with some extra set decorations..

A more significant change is the musical soundtrack. This totally new score lacks, in Aronda's opinion, the verve of the old. In fact, she found it not unlike the sound of local-chain radio jingles. Imagine: "Get yourself a good used tire at Billy Bob's Retreads." While it probably shouldn't be called "bad," it certainly doesn't qualify as "good" either. Perhaps this is just the beta testing period, so parade designers may get into some serious tweaking soon. 

Here are some photos of this new version:

The intro float--same as before but sporting the new name.

Mickey's now out from under the snow globe, and there's a stylized "hidden Mickey" behind him.

The artists on bikes are still part of the show.

The Pinocchio float has a clock on top, which conveniently displays the time that the 3 o'clock parade starts.

Someone must've rubbed the globe and set Aladdin free.

The villains' float.
