WHERE Can We Do This Again? PTN taking a trip...

[Curious Constance]

I have it on reliable sources that Disneyland's management team is now in boxes awaiting shipment to The Magic Kingdom. The OVERLORD!!! Bob "Bobby" Iger has DEMANDED that Disneyland give their management team to Walt Disney World to cut costs EVERYWHURR!! Upcharges all the time, and WDW will be shuttered within the week.

Or so my source says.

My source says this is a good idea because DL is crowded enough without a parade going down the middle of it.

I think this is a great deal. During the 60th, when Fantasmic, DL Forever AND PTN were all running it was chaotic and insane.

It'll be nice to be able to see PTN more easily at DCA and will hopefully disperse crowds more.

Agreed. With Fantasmic! 2.0 coming this summer, there's no reason to create chaos at Disneyland when DCA still has slack.

Once again Disneyland Park reverts to nostalgia instead of innovation. If it weren't for SW Land on the horizon they could easily rename the place The Disneyland Museum. Oh well.

Disneyland has certainly become a museum...of annual passholders.

A short one.

Across the Esplanade to Disney IPs Loosely Connected To Whatever Brand We Decide Has Something To Do Or Nothing At All With California Adventure.

This is the plan in motion now, but I do not have a timeline just yet. MSEP may continue as a seasonal offering, or DL may go back to its pre-2015 schedule of fireworks and Fantasmic (which is pushing hard toward a D23 weekend debut) and MSEP may finally get the dumpster grave it pines for.

Of course, until Owl City starts blaring over the DCA sound system this could all change.

Doubt this would happen, WOC already has 2 showings scheduled on some summer nights it would be a nightmare if they try to fit paint the night into the schedule. The only time they can try is at 8pm but it would not be fully dark outside yet.

I'd imagine they can cut back to one WOC showing or close the park one hour later.

Why is moving PTN to DCA reverting to nostalgia?

Then they would have a problem with the people that booked desert parties for the 2nd showing.

 

[Disney Analyst]

That would mean goodbye Frozen.... or goodbye trolley wires.

PTN is literally the last big new thing to come to Disneyland and according to the OP they are considering continuing MSEP as a seasonal offering and moving PTN to DCA. If that doesn't scream we will milk this Disneyland nostalgia money cow until it's dry I don't know what does.

I love you MSEP, but you just need to die already.

 

[Kram Sacul]

Moving PTN to DCA is as lame as moving the Halloween Party back to DCA but I guess it makes sense with the unholy crowds. Even if it's temporary it's still a dumb move. PTN is the successor to MSEP, the night time parade of DL. Like when they moved MSEP before "it glowed away forever" seeing it in DCA will not be the same.

Oh. I missed the part about MSEP staying. Well that won't help with crowds at all. It would be nice if guests had to chose between a night parade and fireworks.

Their are ways around it if the will is there. Closing an hour later during the busy summer season should be an option.

I always thought closing DCA two hours before Disneyland was another way of saying, "We know this park isn't as good as Disneyland, so we're closing it early."

 

[SuddenStorm]

As much as we'd all love to have MSEP die, if they move PTN to DCA, I'm all for it staying in DL Park. That way, guests have to choose between it and Fantasmic, which should help spread out the crowding.

That doesn't help with the horrid crowding on Main Street and the hub though. They need to get people out of DL and into DCA. I say split the entertainment between the parks and close DCA later.

But, but , but they can't keep saying "Come one, come all for the final MSEP goodbye run! Get here before it's gone!" And then not have it actually go. That's a rip off. If I had scrimped and saved to make it there to see it one more time, I'd be ed if they just decided to keep it around indefinitely.

I took it as "we re too cheap to keep DCA open to pay our employees another 2 hours and now go to Disneyland and shop some more before you leave."
