Fixed.
 
Yeah my Twitter feed was going mad over this. I liked the Pixar parade, not sure why they're getting rid of it. Maybe it's so they have a bigger budget to put into the new shows rumoured for the theatres in the park?

Still, weird whatever way you look at it.
 
THANK GOD. Hearing that, "I just wanna play on the drum all day I just wanna play on the drum all day" 10x in childish voice in line for Star Tours was complete torture. I watched the parade in the line for Star Tours and the parade it self was cheesy (then again that's the definition of WDW away from AK) and boring. WORST.PARADE.EVER. Sorry for people that liked it but this is just my own opinion.
