Yep the Spirit is already stating that he wouldnt be surprised if the fire effect ends up getting cut among other things.
That music sounds very parade-esque!
Here is another angle from yesterday

it sure does
Amidst all the anticipation, I'm fascinated with how Americans pronounce route. :o
Well, generally, we pronounce it "root", though some pronounce it to rhyme with "grout" or "shout".

It's the "shout" rhyme that was getting me, ha!
Does anyone know if the characters costumes in this parade are their normal meet and greet ones or do they have special parade costumes or a combination of both?
It depends. Usually the princesses have new costumes. But I've seen some fur characters with the same costume. But with the attention to detail in this new parade, I wouldn't be surprised to see all new costumes.
In the costume video on Disney Parks Blog they talk about new Minnie's costume and a the bling on her polka dots. They also mention Mickey and Minnie's costumes go along with the Storybook Circus theme.
I watched the video again, and I know some of us had concerns about these elaborate costumes not surviving the Florida summers, but it sounds like they were designed with weather in mind, which is very comforting.
if you look at the original art work released of the mickey balloon you can get a taste of Mickey and Minnie costumes

When you say VIP characters, are you referring to Belle, Ariel, Cinderella, Rapunzel, Mickey, Minnie, Snow White, the princes...?
