There’s nothing stopping them from running both currently, besides them being cheap.

My knowledge was that the toontown expansion minimized the warehouse space backstage

Nope. They removed rehearsal halls. The parade building was untouched

Latest CM intel is that the MSEP floats are still intact in an offsite warehouse. There is talk of it coming back next year for its 55th anniversary but nothing has been decided. Magic Happens is still in storage as well. That’s what I was told. Take it all with a grain of salt. We’ll see.

BRING BACK MAGIC HAPPENS.
I don’t even like Magic Happens that much, but the fact that Disneyland is the only castle park without a daytime parade consistently is weird. MSEP can stay in the ground.BRING BACK MAGIC HAPPENS.

Swear to god, if I don't see that stunning Aurora finale float again I'll riot.BRING BACK MAGIC HAPPENS.
Unrelated, huge disservice that Moana, Coco, and Frozen have better floats in Magic Happens than Starlight.

100% agree. Even the Frozen float in PTN is 10 times better than the one in Starlight.

The fact that someone in Entertainment is even considering bringing back MSEP (and I'm still not 100% convinced that is even a conversation happening in the management ranks vs some front line CM thinking it should happen because of an anniversary) is such a disservice to not only PtN (and to a minor extent Magic Happens) but to all DLR guests.
MSEP is tired and old. And tapping the "see it one last time before it goes away forever" well for the 100th time is just going to be see as desperate and nostalgia baiting.
Let it stay retired.

Heck, MSEP didn't feel the same once the Dumbo section was retired in 2009. Despite Disney actually re-scoring the units for that section.

I swear, MSEP is a zombie! No matter how many times the parade "Will Glow Away Forever" Disney will still bring it back every few years. The floats for the parade is even older than Walt Disney World's Castle Float!

I get the impression that they didn’t get the bump they thought they would from PTN...but that's entirely their own fault for not running it for so long.
But the lesson they learned wasn't, perhaps, that they should make better decisions but that it's really MSEP that the people want after all.

You know sometimes I get the feeling that sometimes CMs post ideas here just to gauge reaction before presenting them up the chain for a decision.I get the impression that they didn’t get the bump they thought they would from PTN...but that's entirely their own fault for not running it for so long.

I don't think that a return of MSEP for the 100x will get the reaction this time that they think it will.

Here's hoping, but it seems like there are enough people that lose their minds over it every time that they'll feel incentived to keep doing this.You know sometimes I get the feeling that sometimes CMs post ideas here just to gauge reaction before presenting them up the chain for a decision.

Whenever they bring electrical parade back I see so many happy people at Disneyland enjoying the parade - I don’t understand why that’s a bad thing?
I think there should always be a day and night parade at a castle park. But the night parades can rotate as much as they want! Electrical, Paint the night, etc. - if people want to see it run it!

I wouldn't mind if they ran the MSEP at DL and moved PTN to DCA.
But I suspect budget cutting is another reason they may bring back MSEP. It doesn't hurt that many people, especially older people (i.e. money), hold sentimental value for it.

That’s true for a majority of the Disneyland park - I prefer paint the night but enjoy the historic nature of Main Street Electrical. Plus those little snails and such always make me smile!

There isn't an issue with people enjoying a specific parade, people like what they like.
The issue is bringing back an old tired parade out of moth balls instead of using its successor which hasn't been run consistently in years. PtN hasn't even had a full year of operation this time around. So people get a big upset that the parade they like is being replaced yet again with that old tired one that keeps being said is "the last time".

Oh yeah…. I get that. So in a perfect world Main Street at Disneyland and Paint the Night at DCA?

Or flipped, PtN at DL and MSEP at DCA.
