Exactly, even if the missing floats are out of commission because they're using them for parts, it doesn't make sense that they can't have the same amount of performers as they used to.

It's a huge missed opportunity if they don't announce it at d23.
Very Fair Point!

there are always huge missed opportunities at d23. Hope for the best, expect the worst. Even if announced, it's before budgets get cut and the end result is different than the concept art initial announced

Well Scott Gustin I thought was more of a reliable insider, but reliable insider or not I think the nighttime parade subject gets twisted up easily and false info gets spread especially in the blogosphere.

There is plenty of parade storage behind POTC/TBA for at least 2 full parades and the seasonal hardware.
The storage issue came about when MSEP came back and had to share space with SADCT (or whichever variant it was) and the seasonal floats, leading to SM being left tarped-over but otherwise exposed for years. And even then, the problem was more financial than logistical. There were plenty of options for the seasonal floats to be moved elsewhere until needed, but the added cost and intricacy was poo-poo'd by management.

Considering FoF is still running with half it's staff, operations management probably got worse.
What did TDO do 1999-2001? Was SM referbed off Site?
Lets hope they Shape Up in 2025.................

Which still looks great in MOUACT!! How old are ACF's Floats????
Except for the Brave Float, FOF's Problem is not Floats, its not enough Cast!

I still remember Ron Logan talking about even back then operations would try to cut back cast on spectromagic, too bad there is no executive willing to put them back in there place these days.

it is sort of, I mean its ran its course, its disjointed at best. Its time for a new day parade concept already. But thats just me. I know the focus is on the night right now.
