2010 DIS Forum Disneyland Paris Awards Results: Best Parade

WINNER
Once Upon A Dream Parade (55%)

Just Like We Dreamed It Parade at Disneyland Paris

2nd Fantillusion (25%)
3rd Halloween Parade (10%)
4th= Minnie’s Party Train (5%)
5th= Stars ‘n’ Cars (5%)

Let’s face it, there wasn’t much competition for Once Upon A Dream Parade. It’s not that Fantillusion isn’t great, but more that it’s a part time parade at best, so due to the fact that a lot of people won’t have actually seen Fantillusion during the voting period it didn’t get so many votes.

I first saw the Once Upon A Dream Parade in 2007 when it debuted for the 15th Anniversary. While it is a really fantastic show, I do prefer the music for The Wonderful World of Disney Parade, Dancin’ (A Catchy Rhythm), which preceded the Once Upon A Dream Parade. I’m sure a lot of that is to do with The Wonderful World of Disney Parade being the first parade I ever experienced at Disneyland Paris.

For those that have never seen the Once Upon A Dream Parade, thanks to some awesome videos from DLRP Magic you can watch it right now.

To compare, here is The Wonderful World of Disney Parade courtesy of Photos Magiques!

Also, here is a photo slideshow I made of The Wonderful World of Disney Parade some years ago, with the amazing Dancin’ (A Catchy Rhythm) as the music:

According to sources from within Disneyland Paris there will be no new parade for the 2oth Anniversary next year, but changes will be made to the current parade instead. There will be a new song though which is very exciting as Disneyland Paris music is always brilliant and is constantly played on my iPod.
