24 January 2008: More details on this spring's new Block Party Bash parade
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- "The Year of a Million
Dreams" rocks on at Walt Disney World Resort this spring with a new
funtastic parade featuring favorite Disney-Pixar characters in the
interactive, high-energy "Block Party Bash" parade.
Continuing the Disney Parks tradition of immersive guest experiences,
"Block Party Bash" will put Disney's Hollywood Studios guests right in
the middle of an unbelievable impromptu party during what could be one
of the wildest, most interactive parades ever.
With music and excitement cranked to the max for this high-energy street
extravaganza, "Block Party Bash" will entice guests to dance, play and
party their way through Disney's Hollywood Studios. The wildest block
party in Disney history will entertain guests with a non-stop musical
parade that doubles as an immersive/interactive street spectacular.
Led by the famous Green Army Men, "Block Party Bash" will literally
explode into the park as it makes its way down Hollywood Boulevard.
In addition to an eclectic mix of fun-inducing retro tunes, "Block Party
Bash" will include appearances by some of the most popular characters
including Woody and Buzz Lightyear from "Toy Story," Mike and Sully from
"Monsters, Inc." and Flik and Atta from "A Bug's Life."
The "block party" will transform into major choreographed sections that
immerse guests into a feeling of playing with the "toys," screaming with
the "monsters" and dancing with the "bugs." The performance will
literally be bursting with dancers, acrobats, jumping stilts and a mini
caravan of electric scooters filling the performance area with an
awe-inspiring array of visuals and sound sensations.
The elaborate set pieces for this interactive parade/show will include
large floats themed to "Toy Story," "Monsters, Inc." and "A Bug's Life,"
one-of-a-kind trampoline units (invented specifically for "Block Party
Bash") and "tweeners" (smaller floats that look like stacks of toy
blocks that double as dance stages, decorative prop boxes and sources of
amazing special effects). These rolling stages will camouflage
impressive telescoping towers that rise during the finale of the
extravaganza revealing Mr. and Mrs. Incredible and Frozone from the
Disney presentation of a Pixar Film, "The Incredibles."
As a totally immersive experience, guests can expect a contagious
spectacle of fun and laughs to spread throughout the audience. "Guests
won't be able to resist the show's energetic performers, lovable
characters, familiar pop tunes and never-ending surprises," said Robin
Trowbridge, show director. "What a fantastic opportunity to share this
incredible show with so many guests. I have no doubts that this show
with all its fun, energy and surprises will knock the socks off of
everyone visiting Disney's Hollywood Studios."
"Block Party Bash" at Disney's Hollywood Studios joins an incredible
array of new interactive experiences and astonishing entertainment
scheduled to premiere during "The Year of a Million Dreams."
