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.

With the new intro or the old intro? The half measure nostalgia farming won’t work on me anymore Disney. If you go all the way and bring back the old intro I might buy tickets so I can see it with my daughter for the first time. If it’s just going to remind me of all the weird crap you did in the early 2020’s I’ll stay home. And considering it’s the 250th anniversary of this country they need to bring back the old finale.
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 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 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.

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.

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".
