Festival of Fantasy Flops with Several Issues
MickeyBlogger Melissa was at the Magic Kingdom today, and the Festival of Fantasy flops with quite a few issues.
A Beloved Parade
The Festival of Fantasy parade celebrates the spirit of the Magic Kingdom as it tributes the most beloved land, Fantasyland!
The pageantry of Fantasyland, as well as its inhabitants, glide throughout the park with classic Disney music.
Guests see many treasured Disney characters such as Rapunzel, Ariel, Peter Pan, and Pinocchio.
Some Hiccups
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly as planned, even in Walt Disney World. This was the case today.
Several things went wrong during the Festival of Fantasy parade, but let’s start with Belle and Beast.
Typically, the first float includes Belle and Beast on a massive float covered with gorgeous roses.
However, not today…instead they rode on a gazebo. Sure, Guests got to see them, but not as clearly as when they ride on the float.
Truly, this was a disappointment, but it was not the only misstep.
In addition, there were several characters and floats that were not in the parade at all!
Some of those characters include Anna and Elsa. Frozen fans did not see these two beauties.
Also, Pinocchio typically rides on a huge float that features Monstro the Whale. Instead, he was missing too, as well as the Monstro float!
Not to mention many characters just walked alongside each other down the parade route this afternoon.
That’s Not All
As if that’s not enough, we have one more thing to report. The highlight of the Festival of Fantasy parade is Maleficient in dragon form.
Indeed, she is massive and impressive, and she breathes real fire!
Of course, not today! Although she made an appearance, her highly anticipated fireballs did not!
There’s Always Tomorrow
Even though the Festival of Fantasy flops today, I’m sure it will be magical tomorrow!
