Disneyland-Parade. The Lion King. Whole Parade. Part 1. 1994.

The only reason we would have stopped this long at this spot is if there was something wrong with a float near the back of the parade. This is not a spot for a show stop and they've put the dancers on modified routine to keep them from getting too hot during the delay.

@gastonfamily2005 Thats interesting, did you have very many breakdowns with parades?

Where are the Parade show stops on Main Street?

The dancers were awesome with the parade audience, thank you for your info about the parade!

@Takura87 Put up on youTube!

I would love to see that version:-)

Back when the characters weren't fastened to the floats!

[MrDisneyfanman]

@RoxasClaimsRiku I didn't know that, I mean it makes sense I guess.

[RoxasClaimsRiku]

@MrDisneyfanman They started to fasten the characters to the floats in the early 2000s (or at least build fences around them) because one fell off and got run over. That character was in the parks everywhere the next day because the news, instead of saying that an actor there died, said that the character himself died. I was in Walt Disney World when that happened. So many kids were sobbing.

@RoxasClaimsRiku Which character was it?

[RoxasClaimsRiku]

@quickattack It was Pluto. There were tons of Plutos. I was...quite young. It was not fun at all.

Have they used those rinos before? I was 5 in 94, and I know ive seen them in another parade :/

[RoxasClaimsRiku]

@rockoncat89 They reused the rhinos for the 50th celebration of Disneyland. They were in the Lion King float portion of the Parade of Dreams, which is "hosted" by Julie Andrews. You can find the parade on youtube as well!

[pvtread]

was there a reason for the long stop, or was it because it was such a popular movie that everyone wanted a close up interaction with them.

[MrHaha543]

@pvtread i think i remember it was because it was an interactive perade not a show stop as such but to interact with the scorpians and such likes on the ground!

[MrDisneyfanman]

@MrHaha543 Hmmmm, maby! 

[MrHaha543]

@MrDisneyfanman i think theres a video somewhere explaining this, can't remember what it's called on youtube but it is on there

[MrDisneyfanman]

@pvtread I'm not sure why myself but it was fun to watch it!
