Pixar Play Parade Photo Blog: Part 1 Monsters University

As I mentioned in my previous blog about the Inside Out Pre Parade  Float---I hadn't seen the Pixar Play Parade in a couple of years.   Probably the last time I saw it was when Monsters University came out and they added the Monsters University stuff to the beginning of the parade.   Getting a spot for this parade is a lot easier than across the street at Disneyland.

 The Pixar Play parade has been performing on and off since 2008 with a break during the Carland construction.  It is a fun parade that include water effects that spray water out at the audience that features Pixar characters exclusively.  

In Part one we take a look at the Monsters University section of the parade.   Leading the parade is   Roz. 

Followed by  Squishy, Art and Terry & Terri (characters from Monsters University.    

Then comes Sully in Monster University Letterman's jacket.

The main parade float now reads  "Celebrating 60 years of Fun"  

 a Reference to Disneyland's  60th Bithday

Monsters Inc Laugh Floor: Magic Kingdom Family Attraction Review 8 out of 10

One of our first stops at the Magic Kingdom was Monsters Inc Laugh Floor.  It is one of the attractions unique to Magic Kingdom that we don't have on the West Coast.    Monster's Inc Laugh Floor is an attraction meant for the entire family that is based on the technology used previously in Turtle Talk where the animated characters interact with you in real time.   Like Turtle Talk this allows for a slightly different experience on multiple visits as the interactions with the audience can take the show in different directions.

If you recall the events at the end of the original Monsters Inc the company is no longer powering the city with screams -but now laughs.  Well this lends itself to a perfect setting for the attraction as the Monster comedians are trying to gather power from the tourists by making them laugh via a stand up comedy act.   The humor is aimed at kids and is family friendly --but the comedians pointing out and making fun of the audience adds to the fun.  My whole family enjoyed the attraction and if it was out on our home coast park Disneyland we would definitely head back for another show.   It is a much better  family experience than Stitch's Great Escape across the way.  This attraction will have the kids laughing --where as Stitch may still scare some of the smaller kids (Although it isn't scary at all).

Here is a quick clip of the Attraction from You Tube to give you a taste of what to expect if you haven't visited the attraction before. The part with the telepathy is great.

The Monsters are ready to scare up some business at the theaters and the parks

Monsters University the prequel to Monsters Inc that shows us how Mike and Sully meet,  had a Monster sized opening weekend of about  82 million dollars taking first place over  the zombie epic  World War Z at the box office.

With this big new Monsters Inc movie hitting theaters....The Monsters were of course all over the parks as well.    The Monsters Inc ride that you can normally walk right on has seen a new influx of people waiting in  long lines for it and there is a new Monsters University section in the daily Pixar parade to check out.

In addition to the parade featuring Monsters University----there is a new meet an greet section in Hollywood as well.

Back when Superstar Limo was still a rider and Monsters Inc had just come out in the theaters.  The Monsters were literally coming out of the closet to entertain people on the streets of DCA
