    For heaven’s sake – GET A LIFE! The world doesn’t revolve around YOU. Be grateful you can live in a place where you have food, shelter and enough expendable income to go on a very expensive vacation. When we finally realize that the world does not revolve around America – maybe we will begin to find a bit of peace.

    1. PitBull

      Pal, Disney is as Iconic as American pie! You don’t like America celebrating America?? Get the f&$k out!

      1. Bill Roberts

        And here you are again, crying about a children’s parade. 🤣🤣🤣

        1. Doony

          Disney no longer shares American family values.
          We will no longer be going to the Woke Kingdom😱

          1. lorraine

            you are correct, disney does NOT represent America any more. Walt would be horrified

          2. Walt

            TRUTH!

          3. Ray Winiecki

            Exactly!

          4. Hi!

          5. Robert

            “Woke Kingdom” Seriously, you cons need to get a life. It’s not always about YOU all the time.

          6. Doony, we have been vacation club members for years and we sold our membership last week and will not return because of their new attitude. They don’t deserve to have our time or money because they no longer have values, especially American or family values any more.

          7. Scott Lee-Ross

            Or, @Mom American, maybe your values are neither American nor Family Values.
            Your bigotry and pride are principles that are best consigned to the dustbin of history.
            America is the melting pot, a place to support and embrace diversity. Where families may be made up of 2 moms, 2 days or even a mom and dad. Where people are free to love who they love. And where being American is not an ethnic or racial badge of honor, but rather a belonging to a culture to be proud of, no matter where you were born.

            TRUTH

          Maybe find out about why Disneyland and Disney World was built in the first place. It wasn’t for “the children”. It was built as a place FAMILIES could enjoy…meaning adults too! Walt wanted a place where yes..kids could go, but adults could also go be a kid for a few hours, and leave their stresses at home. And if “America” isn’t what Disney is about any more, maybe they should think about packing up and moving.

          1. Kathy

            There are Disney parks all over the world now. They are not only “American” and with the division in this country they need to do what their mission is, to entertain. And not with a patriotic bent either. That is the stuff of indoctrination if you think about it clearly. They don’t have to move an inch. Stay home if it offends you and the rest of us will be glad to have less crowds to deal with.

      2. Danielle

        But Disney is literally worldwide. With parks in every country and movies in almost every language. Look at how many iconic Disney movies aren’t even based in the US!

        1. Danielle

          I meant parks in several countries. And movies found in almost every country. Sorry that typed out wrong.

      3. RH

        Disney by removing the the flag float doesn’t surprise me. They have become non family orientated lately. Their support of indoctrinating young children gose against what Walt Disney invisoned. They should be promoting family entertainment not political agendas.

        1. Scott Lee-Ross

          Exactly, and the flag float is a part of your political agenda. So, using your argument, Disney did the right thing by removing the flag float. Right?

  2. DisHistorian

    I dunno, as we watched it my partner and my mom were both like “awwww this could be my new favorite float in the parade!” …. (His was formerly the Pirate Ship and my mom’s Elliot (Pete’s Dragon)

    I thought it was a super cute update and a not-so-subtle way to get Encanto in there for my nieces and nephews 😂

  3. Nick

    People are being killed in Ukraine, the earth is boiling, new diseases are spourting, the world is on the verge of collapse and a parade upsets you?

    1. Bruce

      And what are YOU doing to help the world situation. Probably not a damn thing. Get off your high horse. Not everything revolves around current events. I happen to agree with him. Disney has become so woke they forgot about why real Americans came to see Disney.

    2. AH

      Earth is boiling? Hardly. Millions are in concentration camps in China and disney still is kissing commie but.

      1. DB

        I prefer the old Disney to this. Please bring back your old values.

  4. JJ

    People really need a life. CLOWNS complain about any and everything. Enjoy the show and keep it moving.

  5. John H

    All I wanna know since I have not seen it, what is the music the same using it catching jingle? I love that

  6. EricJ

    We’ve had Pete’s Dragon in the parade for forty-five years, most of the kids don’t even know he was ever a movie reference, and the Bicentennial is “outdated”??

    And besides, I LIKE the Small World bit.

    1. Phoebe L Ho

      Hey Elliott’s smokin’!!

  7. Phoebe L Ho

    Can’t wait to see it in person. I LOVE the new finale and I think it’s beautiful. They really gave this parade a great tribute after 50 years!

  8. Rebel

    Guests should be more outraged at the fact that Disney is fighting to sexualize their 5 to 8 year old children, presumably to cater to a depraved minority.

    1. Laurie

      Buying into DeSantis BS, eh?

      1. Love DeSantis!!!
        I ish he was our governor!

        1. Walt

          Rock on DeSantis, go for President!!!

        2. Travis Weberling

          Really, PitBull?What do you like about our Governor?He’s a dam bully

      2. Just speaking the truth

        He’s actually got a point. All children need to understand at that age is sunshine, lollipops, rainbows, and even Mickey Mouse. To throw this stuff at them is pure indoctrination. This is not happenstance folks! This group is intentionally trying to indoctrinate our children! This has been their plan!

        1. Ray Winiecki

          Hard to argue. What 5-8 year needs to know about sexualism.

      3. Kim

        No….what the Disney exec herself said. It’s on video, in full context. Listen to it.

      4. AH

        I know the facts. It’s not bs.

      5. GerM

        Love love love DeSantis BS!!!!

    2. Spot on!!It’s an outrage indeed!! The board needs to replace the CEO! ASAP! She’s toxic!

      1. Bill Roberts

        Well, there they are. The racists have revealed themselves, unprovoked.. 😂😂😂

        1. Walt

          Racists? Why does anyone that doesn’t agree with someone on family values called a racist? Agree to disagree and quit referring to people that still believe in God and His word as racist!

        2. GerM

          You need to learn the definition of racist before you use the word.

          1. Scott Lee-Ross

            Racist is not the right word to use, unless you are speaking of replacing an American flag with brown dolls, Then racism is exactly the right word.
            But the word I would use is Bigot. It describes all of the sentiment being expressed by many of the people on this thread.

      2. Your mom

        You do know that the CEO is a Man right. In fact he is a white man.

        1. Tee

          Yea the ceo is a white man

    3. Hi!

      WAILING KAREN ALERT!

    4. Robert

      Rebel – Stop being an partisan imbecile parrot. Disney does no such thing.

  9. E Dote

    I don’t know about you, but it seems to me that the changes to the last float were made to eliminate several dancers off of the payroll…

  10. Don Pierini

    When companies lose their focus of what has made them great over the years (decades), they tend to lose their company.

    1. Travis Weberling

      & if our state & our governor doesn’t stop bullying Disney by taking away the protections they’ve had for decades, they might cause WDW to strongly consider relocating to another state.

      1. AH

        So Disney is going to move hundreds Iof billions of dollars worth of stuff to where? Get real.

        1. Robert

          Keep hammering at Disney and they may find a way. Get real yourself.

      2. PM

        I wish Disney would move Disney World out of the authoritarian/dictatorship DeSantis’ Florida.

        1. CP

          LOL! Maybe they can move it to China! Then none of us can go. Woke activists are but a small fraction in the world with a megaphone. Sorry, but that noise eventually falls on deaf ears. Remove the blinders and see everything! God Bless America!

  11. Nick

    With all of the division in America today, it might have been nice to keep some reference though. Not complaining, just thinking out loud.

  12. Susan

    The recent changes in Disneyland, its values and the many allegations , as well as, all the negligent accidents has made us decide we will never go to Disney or support it again. What used to be a wholesome good place for families and children is revealing itself to be everything but that!🥵

    1. Walt

      Well said!

    2. Hi!

      WAILING KAREN ALERT!
      🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

      1. AH

        So you express yourself without screaming or wailing and you make this comment. Get real.

    3. Robert

      LOL As another poster here said so well:

      WAILING KAREN ALERT!
      🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

  13. Walt

    Disney’s gonna do what Disney wants to do. Makes no difference to me because since they no longer represent true family values, I’ve cleaned out my house of any Disney junk and they won’t get another penny of my money.

    1. Ugh

      🙄🙄🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣

    2. Hi!

      And yet, you’re on EVERY SINGLE Disney related post EVERY DAY screeching and hollering.

    3. Robert

      Walt – WAILING KAREN ALERT!

  14. Michael Gatewood

    I love Disney and the old parade,going too see this new one next month,at this point,I think that a vote on what we the people want,the paying customers,people come from around the world just to see the MSEP,honor America float was my favorite,I’m a Veteran,we help make Disney stay safe,and American too,without us and NATO we’d be like Ukraine and some other places.

  15. Michael Gatewoodc

    Disney had better watch out,everybody can’t afford to visit the park,without customers there want be any Disney,there’s plenty to do in American,and it can be done a lot cheaper,if I don’t like this new version,my family want be coming back.

  16. Will

    Omg get a life! To think that Disney revolves around your opinions is hilarious lol , if you don’t like it don’t go , nobody is forcing you , it’s a theme park for gods sake !!!!

  17. Your Mom

    This is ridiculous, Walt Disney made Its A Small World to unite kids from around the world to prove that although we all look different and have different cultures, we are still humans and we are the same. It is incorrect for someone to say that Disneyland hates America because they do not. They are literally following what Walt Disney did when Small World was created. FOR GODS SAKE WALT LITERALLY BROUGHT KIDS FROM DIFFERENT COUNTRIES TO INAUGURATE THE RIDE. Disney today is demonstrating that we are all living and breathing humans regardless of we’re we come from with characters of color. And it also goes to show that America is ethically diverse as well. So if you don’t like the float……….you are a racist and do not understand America.

    Side note: I can’t believe people are fighting to bring back those god awful powdered wigs the dancers wore 😬 🤦‍♀️ .

  18. Joshua

    I’m not a fan of woke disney

    1. Ah!

      Im not a fan of miserable Joshua.

      1. AH

        You are pitiful for complaining about his opinion.

        1. Robert

          AH – Can we complain about Ah’s souls?

    2. Robert

      I’m not a fan of partisan guests who go around repeating whiny right wing talking points.

  19. LJB

    Our country’s 250th birthday is in 4 years. But I guess that isn’t worthy of being recognized to Disney. They are tanking, and deservedly so.

    1. Robert

      LBJ – LOL Get over yourself please.

  20. Leeann

    I always thought the American flag was for Independence Day. Maybe Vetran’s Day & Memorial Day to honor the Vetran’s. But then again my Son thought the Main Street Electrical Parade was for Christmas because of all the lights. Lol! 😂

    As for politics I think Disney should stay out of it. They need to remain neutral, or they will lose guests on either side. It’s a tough position to be in & I feel bad for Disney. They’re damned if they do & they’re damned if they don’t. Go figure! ☹️

    1. Robert

      The vast majority who go to Disney Parks don’t care one way or another about Disney’s politics. That’s not why they go or choose not to.

  21. Maleficient

    As someone who has seen the original, the revised “Glow Away” version (still have the commemorative light bulb), and now the Mary Blair version, MSEP is like all DL attractions, is subject to change and reinterpretation. We don’t have the original PotC or HM. Fantasmic is on its third version. No matter how I miss the originals, Walt himself said things will always change. Accept his words, accept the new interpretation. If not, find an old VHS version of it and be satisfied by it.

    1. Tee

      Sounds Like the quote “Make America Great Again.”

      1. Tee

        Will it be worth it though? All the backlash and hate? How much does Disney get already? plus getting rid of or reversing any Disney classics? How much backlash will you get for that? people going “Disney got rid of beloved fan favorites” or “Disney got rid of things I grew up with” Think about it.

        1. Tee

          Are you sure you know the values of Disneyland? I mean, Does anyone here know the values of Walt Disney himself? “To all that come to this happy place, welcome. Disneyland is your land. Here age relives fond memories of the past, and here youth may savor the challenge and promise of the future. Disneyland is dedicated to the ideals, the dreams, and the hard facts that have created America… with hope that it will be a source of joy and inspiration to all the world.” Disney Still Stands by this. Not all the BS that people throw out and the rumors that are created. Disneyland is meant for EVERYONE. Not just the rich, but for people in the middle class. Take that away from them, and only god knows what will happen. Disneyland is still American. It was founded in America. But it doesn’t belong to America. It belongs to the people. The people of EARTH. If you think otherwise and want to take over, I wish you luck and I won’t be the only one raising my middle finger to you.

          1. Tee

            Oh yeah, and the devil will welcome you with open arms into it’s home.

  22. Gerim

    I wish Disney would move out of Florida! The traffic there is horrendous!!!!

  23. Dianne

    Where is Main Street? It is Main Street USA. America. What doesn’t make sense about it? The parade is The MAIN STREET Electrical Parade. Get a life people!

  24. Jeannette

    And politics doesn’t belong in Disney either. So if politics are ok, bring back the American flag and Eagle at the end.

  25. Rickeymouse

    What’s the new name? Disney’s Main Street Gaylectrical Parade. @bobchapek, you have destroyed the Disney company with your greed and politics.

  26. Rickthemouse

    What’s the new name? Disney’s Main Street Gaylectrical Parade. @bobchapek, you have destroyed the Disney company with your greed and politics.

  27. Adam

    Why are so many people afraid of GAY or inclusion? People were okay going to Disney before, but now that Disney is voicing support for equal rights and inclusion they are hurt and won’t return. We won’t miss you! How is equality and inclusion not a family value?

    1. S1

      Some are not worthy of enjoying Disney theme parks. Salazar Slytherin said the same thing about some not being worthy to learn magic. The only guests who matter are the purists and they will be missed because they have the money. Disney has no right to voice support because they have no First Amendment rights.

  28. Diana

    Great addition! Thank you Disneyland for bringing this parade back with a slight change up. Not everything is political people!

    1. Tee

      TRUTH

  29. Walt

    Its not about America? Really? Walt volunteered for WWI he is studio made cartoons for the war effort in WWII. And Disney is an American Icon and Mickey has represented the USA all over the world. But only in America is it fashionable to sh^& all ove rthe coutry that gave you the opportunity to create a busienss such as this. Maybe Disney should have created a float honoring the Communist Chinese they could have shown little children chained to machines puking out Disney items or perhaps the concentration camps of Weigers.

  30. Tee

    Reading yall complain about a Parade is funny. Why don’t you complain about the War in Ukraine or something?
