It's just for show and can easily be removed?

Are the PTN floats taller than the Pixar Play Parade? The daily Pixar Play Parade already has some rather tall floats that fit under the trolley wires. Here's the big Bug's Life float with the swinging acrobats underneath the trolley wires in front of the Hyperion Theater.
The Finding Nemo float with Crush is big and it fits, the Incredibles float with the flame thrower shooting into the air still has plenty of clearance, etc.
Pixar Play Parade floats fitting under trolley wires on Hollywood Blvd. - Every day at 5:30pm
It has one 90 degree turn but it's through a wide intersection at Hollywood Blvd. and Sunset Blvd, and the floats can make a very wide sweeping curve around that corner. The rest of the DCA parade route, the longest in Disney theme park history, is broad sweeping curves with wide viewing areas and raised viewing terraces throughout. DCA's route has a huge audience capacity.

LOL! I knew I was overthinking it. And now it's wine o'clock!
Well, HEA is six minutes longer and that throws off the whole night time schedule!

![](http://QUOTE="InsideDisney, post: 7722212, member: 118113"]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.[/QUOTE])

If this did happen, the Frozen float would definitely have to go and maybe the Mack float too.
And Shanghai has the longest parade route not DCA.

In that case, if the rumors of the floats being boxed up are true, why would they need boxes to transport the floats 200 yards when they could just drive them to DCA.
To keep them sheltered and protected until it debuts at DCA would be my guess.
No wait, I mean... Because PTN is being secretly shipped to WDW!!!!!!1!!! I read about it in the Tweeterverse, and was confirmed by both a bus driver AND a tram driver, so it's obviously solid information.
My gondola pilot also confirmed it when I transferred from the AK Monorail line to the MK gondola line so I'd say we are good to go.
I was under the impression that the biggest reason PtN was getting axed was the cost of maintaining it was very high... If that is the case it wouldn't be a cheap option for WDW... given the much higher humidity in Florida I would expect that PtN would have even more technical issues in keeping it running at MK than it has had in DL where the weather is much nicer on electronics.

Well the world of twitter has PTN debuting late this summer at MK lol. Every single post is about PTN coming to WDW 
. All I know is some people will be very disappointed once a official announcement gets made, whether that be PTN at DL or DCA which will crush the WDW fans hearts lol Or if WDW gets PTN the DL fans will be very p***ed off Lol.

Parade float motors are not designed to climb steep hills. There is no road between the two parks that a parade float could physically fit through, in addition to the steep hill down into the tunnel that is part of the DCA "backstage" access road.
To get the floats from the north side of Disneyland to the south side of DCA, you would need to box them up and move them via flatbed trucks. The surface streets from Ball Road down Disneyland Drive have numerous hills, overpasses and underpasses that a parade float is not capable of climbing.
They have never moved a parade float between Disneyland and DCA before without transporting it on flatbed trucks, after some disassembly.
Is there a What's Next presentation this week? That could clear up a lot of this.Well the world of twitter has PTN debuting late this summer at MK lol. Every single post is about PTN coming to WDW

And why would Disney want to put a stop to the rumors about PTN? I'm sure it's been a daily laughing party for them reading twitter and these threads.
Maybe they'll say something at D23!!!!!!!1!!! Everything that is anything gets announced there, right?

This is by far the most reasonable excuse.
Now, has anyone got a friend who has a cousin whose twice removed cousin of their grandmother side who knows a juicy rumor about PTN moving to Magic Kingdom?
