Guests staying at one of the Disney Resorts located around the Seven Seas Lagoon (such as the Grand Floridian, Polynesian Village, and Contemporary Resorts) or Bay Lake (the Wilderness Lodge and the Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground) may experience noise impacts after Magic Kingdom closes on Friday, March 27, due to an overnight parade rehearsals at the park. Guests may ask the front desk during their stay for additional information.

bhall 115 Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Are they changing something or are somethings getting "sloppy"? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 I wonder why they have to practice overnight. FoF has been out for awhile now (but a short time for a DW parade). Why extra practice? New night parade? JK, that will never happen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveInTN 3,247 Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 I'd love to ask at the Front Desk at the Fort. My money is on them not knowing a darn thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AuburnJen 771 Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Parade? What parade?It's not 3 oclock! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Travisma 1,317 Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Special parade for the 24 hour event? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
devores 382 Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 It's just normal practice. Can't train and practice new CMs during the day. It happens more often than you think. At least once a month they have overnights for various entertainment throughout wdw. Sometimes you get lucky and they practice wishes too. BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PGHFiend 140 Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 I think I know the answer here. I will be at the FORT on Saturday, and I just found out my schools band will be performing Saturday at the MK, apparently its a huge invite of schools coming for this parade and that is probably whats going on.

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted March 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 ...Sometimes you get lucky and they practice wishes too. That happened when we were in 300 a few years ago. All of a sudden at close to midnight, and well after park close, fireworks started going off. We were near the dog walk entrance so I walked over towards the beach to watch. And yes, I was in my jammies. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sometimes you get lucky and they practice wishes too.This makes a ton of sense. You can learn the moves in a warehouse, but it just wouldn't be right (or professional) to throw newbies into Main Street to a full crowd having never done the moves there. This got me to thinking about when people want to use the theatre/auditorium at Thrill's school the week a show opens. They say, "Hey the show isn't 'til Thursday night. We could have a meeting in there Tuesday." His response? "Do you think we just come in there and open up a can of musical and pour it out on stage on opening night?" You have to rehearse IN the space, people. :facepalm: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
