    Default Block Party Bash to leave DHS- What should replace it?

    I just read online that the Block Party Bash parade will be leaving Disney's Hollywood Studios in January 2011.

    What new parade theme would you like to see replace it?

    Guess I am the odd ball out but I so enjoy the block party! Its great to see all of the pixar characters and dance with them! I can do without the whole HS musical thing though. Wish I could have seen it once more before it ends.

    CMs are being told that the new parade will be Pixar Pals Cavalcade (working title) that will feature favorite Pixar characters. The parade will be performed to a new musical track from the current Pixar Play Parade at Disney California Adventure and will open January 16, 2011. Four Pixar Characters not currently seen in Block Party Bash – Remy and Emile from “Ratatouille” and Carl and Russell from Disney Pixar’s “Up” - will be added to the Pixar Pals Cavalcade lineup.

    The only two parades I have seen at DHS are the Stars and Cars and Block Party bash and we liked them both. I can see how folks might not care for BPB, but we enjoyed it because DD got picked to play and dance and we had a great time watching her.

    That's too bad it's leaving. It's a fun, high-energy parade and we really enjoyed it. Hopefully the next one will be good.

    Amen to that! It was terrible. When I watch a parade, I want to see characters - not CMs jumping around on trampolines. I like the Pixar parades. Just not BPB.

    I think they should bring back the Stars and Motor Cars parade. It was the best!

    Sorry to be the one to tell you, the Pixar Play Parade is not a whole lot different. Maybe less trampoline action, but still a VERY similar parade. Although, it does keep moving, which is nice.

    Ugh. There was not much worse than the block party bash, but maybe that's because my kids are long beyond that stage. We just couldn't stand it. I loved the Stars and Motorcars parade.

    "It's snowing still," said Eeyore gloomily.
    "So it is."
    "And freezing."
    "Is it?"
    "Yes," said Eeyore. "However," he said, brightening up a little, "we haven't had an earthquake lately."

    The Pixar Play Parade is sort of like the Stars and Motorcars parade. I mean, if I had to describe it, it's a "hybrid" between those two. All the different Pixar characters have unique "vehicles" that they ride on. The Incredibles ones are the coolest. The music, though...SUPER annoying.

    I actually liked the BPB, i thought it was fun and got the crowd excited instead of the normal float after float just passing by

    I agree, I think this is a fun parade!! Actually, besides the "Main Street Electrical Parade", Block Party will most likely be the only parade we really try to see this year.

    We went last year when my son was 4 and he loved it, so we will do it again when he is 5!!

    This year though, I want to get a spot across the street from my son (if possible) so I can take pictures of his reactions instead of the floats.
