Guest surveys show rides are what people care most about, so entertainment is first to get cut when saving money.
I'm happy we got such a great parade in general, but since so much was spent on this new parade, I'm sure there's no way the money people are approving one-day only extras like they used to.
I remember when HHN had a parade. And instead of ending with Santa like a holiday parade, it ended with Satan upon his thrown. Those where the days.
