Not sure who the other people are, but I've been posting here for almost 15 years and know @GiveMeTheMusic as a solid trustworthy source, and someone who is actually in Anaheim and who has proven long-term to have good info on this subject.
I assume the other folks are 2,500 miles away in Orlando and still can't believe TDO cancelled all night parades back in 2016?

Thus far only Tom Corless, myself and dj brian whatshisname have offered any "info." You do the math

I assume they just think 2 pm will be more convenient to guests? It would have no impact on nighttime offerings.
It does suggest they've been contemplating a scheduling shift on 8/20 for awhile. HEA and FoF were not listed from 8/20 through Labor Day for a few months. An interesting coincidence if nothing else.
In my experience, for late summer anyway, 2 pm is less likely to be affected by thunderstorms than 3 pm, too.

I would not be surprised if revenue isn't down the last couple of hours the park is open now compared to when MSEP was running. There is a mass exodus as soon as the fireworks are over now. Way more so than when there was still another parade after the fireworks. The park really clears out now. Which is great for me but don't tell they aren't making less money now that so many people are leaving and not staying. But I would be shocked if we got Paint The Night. I am just irked it won't be running when I go to DL at the end of August instead the tired MSEP will. Ugh.

Why are they moving it to 2pm!?!? Why not 5pm since there is no nighttime parade!

This just in! My secret source has confirmed to me that Walt Disney Imagineering Research & Development has built a cloning device that will allow Disney to clone the Paint the Night Parade for the Magic Kingdom! They're currently taking chainsaws to the float edges to get them to fit on the parade route.
The downside is, the cloned objects shrink in size over time as a side effect of the cloning process that Wayne Szalinski pioneered... so you might be getting "Honey, I Shrunk the Electrical Parade!" in due time.

Well, there put all those little trinkets in the checkout lines at the gift shops at a location that is CONVENIENT to grubby little preschooler hands. And MagicBands make it CONVENIENT to pay for them instead of spurring a meltdown.

When you look at the calendar for the same week starting Sunday August 21st in 2016, Wishes was at 10:00pm with electrical at 9:00 and it basically continues like that during the week.
This year the closing time is cut back to 9:00pm with HEA at 9:00pm on Sunday August 20th. I theorize since sunset is 7:59pm in Orlando on August 20th, they're gonna schedule PTN for 8:00pm. Theory.

Or maybe after Happily ever after? If not then 8:20 the latest since it is not 100% dark at 8pm

@GiveMeTheMusic if you are serious about them moving PTN to DCA, how would this work with the trolly wires?

I doubt they would remove the trolley wires, Wouldn't they have to remove the poles for the trolley wires or something idk... Also I believe some turns in that parade route are kinda sharp.

I can now confirm that effective June 1, 2017, Paint the Night will move to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™ – Diagon Alley™.

The trolley wires are just for show and can easily be removed.
