Epcot- parade/show?

[anna68]

I last visited epcot in 2000 and there was an amazing parade around the world show case part of the park with people on stilts. Was this a milenium special or is there always a parade?

it was for the millenium and lasted for a couple of years, but it is unfortunatly gone now.

the fireworks is still on but no more parade

ahhhh - sadly, my favourite parade, Tapestry of Dreams is no longer there. Epcot doesn't have a parade at the moment, but that may change with the new celebrations starting in May.

There are lots of other excellent entertainments there, including Off Kilter and the fabulous Japanese Drummers etc.

Such a shame about ToD though - at least I have it on video and also have the music on CD

[anna68]

That was the best parade I have EVER seen. I also have the CD, can't stop playing it- the music is just amazing. Such a shame its gone :o(

Yes, real shame they got rid of ToN - an uplifting show and music, very colourful and moving - at lease like others, I have the video and CD (along with IllumiNations) that keeps me going in the dark dark months between visits to WDW!!

On our first ever visit, on our very first day, the very first park we visited........and the very first parade we ever saw. I thought - and still think - it is the most magical experience we have ever had at WDW. DS, Ben (then just 6) turned to me with eyes like saucers and asked if it was a dream. Will have to get a copy of the music - every time Sean lights up fireworks in the backgarden, the kids start singing this:D Am so glad we have most of it on video - and so sad its not there anymore:cry:

love Suexx

I too miss Tapestry of Nations :( I was a little disappointed with the shortened version Tapestry of Dreams as the way- la song was gone and a lot shorter parade but I was absolutely gutted when there was nothing :cry:

I :heart: Epcot and I could spend every evening here but I think my family will have other plans as we are going for 23 nights :bheart: LOL

That said the illuminations are still excellent:wiggle:

Go to epcot to see Off Kilter, they are really good, and really like it when u join in and dance (which I did). Also illuminations is fab, a good place to stand just before you hit canada (hardly anyone stands there and u get a full view of the lightshow and the fireworks!!!
