Parade route map:

Well, there's a surprise. Nice short parade route. People will be standing even deeper on the sidewalks.

:bang:

I know it had to be this way. I'm just not happy about it. - rant over -

Sheesh! The only act playing during the week we are there is Montgomery Gentry. :bang: I am as anti-country music as they come. Figures.

Look at it this way, it could be worse. You could be going the weekend Demi Lovato is playing ound:

I'm going to miss being able to stand in one spot and watch it twice like last year. Looks like we'll be making a mad dash over to Beetlejuice after it goes by.

Pretty bad lineup. I'm just going for the parade.

Last 2 acts have been revealed!!

Kool & the Gang - 4/6
All American Rejects - 4/20

 

[Hockeyman55]

Overall a nice broad line up for acts. Not really anyone I would go out of my way to go see but still enough variety to draw in a lot of different crowds over those party days.

I am incredibly excited for AAR! I will definitely be lining up early to see them.

Agreed. I'd see a few of them including the All-American Rejects if I was in the area, but I'm not sure if I'll go out of my way to see anyone. Still a pretty good lineup overall.

 

[frenzy88]

I'd see Matchbox, AAR and even Kool and the Gang. Now well see what days I actually have off.

Just throwing it out in the air we should have an Orlando United meet up night ... hmm

I can't go to a Mardi Gras day until March, can I sign up now or wait?

Id like to also but I have no clue when I will be going yet and also if the kids go with us Id rather see the parade with them and enjoy it with them.
