Fire on Splash Mountain?! A NEW PARADE AT HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS?!

You heard correctly folks, kinda. The fire department was called to the MK today with reports of a burning smell inside the electrical room around Splash Mountain. There was no evacuation. 


From insidethemagic.net:

Today Disney announced a new parade is on the way to Disney’s Hollywood Studios focusing on the popular characters from the world of Pixar.

The new parade is still being developed and doesn’t have an official name yet (rumored early names include “Pixar Pals Cavalcade,” “Countdown to Fun”), but according to the Disney Parks Blog it will definitely feature Remy and Emile from “Ratatouille” and Carl and Russell from Disney/Pixar’s “Up.” It will likely be similar to the Pixar Play Parade that has run at the Disney California Adventure theme park in Anaheim.

It has been said that the new parade will eliminate show stops, returning to a traditional constantly-moving parade style.

Block Party Bash (pictured above), which left California Adventure to make way for the Pixar Play Parade, will have its final performance on January 1, 2011. The new parade is scheduled to open January 16
