I personally have no official explainantion. Perhaps, they moved it in an effort to draw more people to the Branson Landing? ???

Is it because most of the stars are so old, that their heavy make up and heavy flashy costumes are difficult to keep on for long periods of time? The route is shorter. Perhaps it's because the landing is closer to Skaggs Hospital in case any of the ancient stars have a serious health issue? (Of course, I'm kidding around!) My guess is that it keeps traffic flowing on Hwy 76. Anyone who wants to see the parade can be in one small geographic area and the viewers have to park their cars and walk on foot to where the parade will be.

Ha, wow Junior I see you have had your morning cup of coffee already! :P

Speaking of that, Highway 76 was definitely more crowded this year (in my own experience only) than the last time I visited. It would seem logical to keep the extra congestion off of the strip.
