I see Marshmallow on the right. Walk around character? If so I might want to pop in and see him during my trip.

Doesn't sound like it. Shawn Slater denied that a Marshmallow character will be present, which is a bummer.

Bummer. At least I'll see everything else. I'll be able to compare it to the Frozen Fun at DHS.
I'm sorry but we can't count the FROZEN event at DCA part of Disneyland60 can we? Before I clicked on the art, I was hoping it was PTN or something!

Confirmed that World of Color will be receiving an extensive refurb. http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/bl...on-in-water-attractions-at-disneyland-resort/
I finally renewed my pass for the upcoming year. I'm ready for this anniversary.

Is PTN high energy? Or will DL have a different soundtrack?

I've seen in places. That male performers are used for heavey equipment and more intense stunts. (Tinker for example over the castle)

Here's the official rehab schedule for both parks, as of Dec. 16:
As you can see, Peter Pan is still off the list. Have they given up on that?

There is a separate audition for female performers, it's on the website but I don't have the link right now.

Yeah, this isn't proof. Even though Al Lutz Miceage Updates have been talking about this new parade for a year, and trusty folks like yourself have been backing up that Miceage info, and now it's on the Disney audition calendar.
I won't believe it until there's a cheesy Disney Parks Blog post about it from a corporate and soulless cubicle drone typing propaganda 3,000 miles away in a Celebration, Florida business park. Only then will I believe!
Oh, heck, who am I kidding, Miceage convinced me a year ago. I'm looking forward to this parade!

Fantastic list! Thank you very much for sharing it with us. Luigi's Flying Tires is also missing from that info. Perhaps Peter Pan and Luigi's begin after late January, as this list only seems to be the attractions who begin their refurbishments during December/January.
Two thoughts struck me:
1. A refurbishment calendar like this, with more to come in February thru May, would absolutely astound a WDW fan who only ever goes to WDW where annual refurbishments are very rare, and when they do happen they are often measured in days instead of weeks. Bravo to TDA for having the guts to keep up with regular refurbishments to keep the Anaheim parks sparkling and fresh year after year!
2. I know I'm a Disney Dork when one of the things I'm most excited about is seeing how they refurbished and changed the Boudin Bakery Tour.

I REALLY hope the parade isn't a lift from Hong Kong. That parade is nice, but far too much pop music and pixar. There need to be more MSEP in MSEP for it to really shine.

Well - this isn't the MSEP. DL's new parade will feature most if not all of the floats from Paint the Night, as well as several new ones. At one time, HKDL and DL were set to get individual, separate light parades but DL drug its feet after some creative problems arose. By the time DL decided to get serious about a new light parade for the 60th, the option that made the most sense was cloning Paint the Night and adding onto it. MiceAge was indeed correct when they reported that our version will not have show stops like HKDL's.
On the note of music, MSEP was created using the most cutting edge electronic synth music available at the time. Paint the Night did the same thing by creating a soundtrack using the most current electronic sound available, and personally, I think the soundtrack knocks it out of the park. The soundtrack will be different for DL's show as there will be other units involved, but from what I understand it will use most of the Paint the Night soundtrack as its basis.
The nighttime parade sounds cool and everything, but I'm more interested in the new firework show, rumored to be called "Story in the Sky."
