Paint The Night Parade Comes Back Next Year For DL’s 70th Anniversary

If they bring Magic Happens back I hope it's with a few directional changes that prioritize other Disney movies and not stuff released within 3 years with everything else shoved in the back.
That's pretty much their MO with the day parades, though. Asking them to not hyper-focus on new or hot properties is essentially asking for them to not develop a new parade at all. There should be some balance, of course, but there's only going to be so much real estate granted to anything that isn't a mega-hit. Heck, some movies that didn't quite meet box office expectations still got pretty impressive-and timely-parades back in the nineties. This is just the way it's been for ages.

And this is true for every Disney park worldwide, to be honest. People sometimes point to, say, Tokyo for using characters that would never be seen in the US parks, and while that's true, the Tokyo parks are nonetheless still doing what the other parks do-putting the characters who they know will sell to their audience front and center; it just may not seem like it because different markets want different things.

Oh this second parade tonight is looking SAD:

•1/2 of the fairy dancers missing
•No Monster’s unit
•No Cars Crew
•No DJ on Mack
•No Cowgirls
•No Olaf
•No Finale Unit

I wonder if they'll; be calling Hong Kong about borrowing their "Little Mermaid" float while they work on ours, Even if they DID, chances are we wouldn't see that float, one way or the other until January 2026

That's an awful lot of work for only ~a month and a half of shows before the parade takes a Christmas hiatus.

More logical that they get it rebuilt just in time for the parade's January return and don't give even a thought to what HKDL's doing (or not doing) with their PTN.
