Reminder:

When it comes to putting in times for live shows, Disney often fails to update the times in a timely manner. And so it seems that live entertainment will be no more. Then people on the forums panic that "there's no fireworks in January!!!"

Similarly with closing times. Which often change just weeks before the actual date.

It's not good, and Disney should do better.

But... Why are people surprised year after year when Disney does this year after year?
Mass hysteria is “in”

So.......What will change as we get closer?...Starlight's Times or HEA's? HEA is still set for 9:30, then 9:00 in Sep......

It seems Disney has removed all showtimes from August 31 and beyond:

Finally saw the parade. I’m not a massive fan. It’s nice to have a night parade back though, it’s pretty to look at and the melody is good. I also love the surrounding branding of the parade; the logo, poster, and merch. The style is great and like I said I love the overall “look.”
However, it’s very one note. Same thumping beat throughout, all the floats look the same after a while. If you happen to pass by the parade you’ve seen it all.
I grew up with Spectromagic so I was expecting something in line with that. The addition of the techno beat makes no sense to me, it removes all wonder and romance from the melody and orchestration. Not sure what they were thinking there. Just feels like a nightclub.

I'm shocked more people aren't talking about the techno beat being present. I thought this was supposed to be ORCHESTRAL! And sure, there's an orchestra, but it's mostly just the background track we heard on that commercial with a beat attached.

They said it would be orchestral and electronic, which it is.

I do think PTN has way more of a beat to it than Starlight. I will say when I first saw Starlight I was not expecting a beat at all. A part of me thinks the beat was not the original plan and was added in later on.

What bothers me is the MSEP fanfare, not because I don’t like it but it’s just odd. It 100% sounds like it was added last minute.

Overall I like the Starlight theme and the finale Baroque Hoedown. The rest is just not catchy and not memorable at all. I keep saying I think lyrics would have helped.

I'm sorry to admit.....when TDO took their sweet time with August 3rd and Beyond.......I was afraid Starlight was just a 2 Week Trial.......

All jokes aside I would be very content with Starlight relaunching next year with changes. We all know that’s not the plan though and they are content with the way it is. No budget left either.

I wonder how close we are to Flying? That, I would like to see TDO follow through with.... Could be Weather related since 9pm was cancelled but Peter and Wendy stayed in one place at 11pm last Night....
