I can say for a fact that the costume with the expandable wings WILL be back. The wings are currently being repaired. They went 4 years with out being replaced so these repairs are much needed.

bummer.

Haven't seen this said by anyone yet but, The raven costumes in the festival of fantasy parade seemed to have change for permanently. The costumes currently in use we're temporary in 2017 and only used in windy days but for the past 3-2 months it looks like this is a permanent change. Apparently the wings of the old costumes broke too many times because of the wind. Old costume: New costume:

Oh I do agree fully that the garland is very much missed! I do hate those stupid wreaths! Im just saying, regardless of the Christmas decor, that FOF is even more awesome at dusk!

Oh Please, I have to whine that they took the garlands down for this parade. How could it possibly be great with the lights when the garlands are missing. This is a travesty that must be rectified by cutting the floats down to size or erecting risers for the garlands at once TIC...

It's definitely pretty :)

Just saw FOF at 5pm because of the Christmas parade taping today.. I still wish they would run it at this time more often! 6 or 7pm would be even better! Seeing FOF with the Main Street lights is really cool!

JoeCamelJun 18, 2015

Uh - no, the idea is to have you pay to come into the park not sit and watch it on your phone?

WDW just Periscoped FOF and it was awesome!!!! Someone PLEASE tell management that they need to do this or set up a Live Cam MUCH more often!!!

fridays' show, apparently the parade controls were misbehaving -- wrong audio ques for the floats, onstage effects offline(not triggered)

Already an ongoing discussion about this in the thread titled "Mess-tival of Fantasy". It was just one of those days where everything that could have gone wrong happened. I saw the parade in person that day, and I saw it the day before. It was in perfect working order the day before, every single effect was working. So this was definitely a fluke of some sorts.
