It's always funny how they design these smaller buggies without the tracks in mind, even the new starlight finale title float recently had issues on the tracks and now has to avoid them by driving offcenter of the street.
People would've complained about PTN being too upbeat and party like for MK & also if the parade got moved after 2020 they would've cut down performers to a budgeted amount like FoF & Starlight.
I noticed sometime this year they changed how they fire the comets from the center barge raised pole in the finale. Instead of them firing one after the other in a pattern with slow fuses they switched them to fire all at once in groups of 3.

Trust me you do not want a new parade made during this era of budgeteering, it won't beat boo to you, it would slash the amount of floats, performers and then pretend like nothing is wrong.
Problem with the 2 MK tokyo floats is they're having trouble getting original parts for the floats and they have to look for alternatives, thats why the wheels squeak loudly on both floats and the fish tank on monstro doesn't move anymore for the past 2-3 years.
Tonight might have been the only night I've seen them drive the floats normally and not like they're competing for who can drive the fastest on the parade route.
Whatever material they used is clearly expanding and contracting due to the florida sun & heat, those screws will do nothing & pop out, they'll have to keep adding new screws every other week at this rate.
Ferries slamming into the dock has been pretty common this year, it's happened in the past but I don't remember it happening this many times in a year as before.
Hopefully not for a few years, the LEDs used in starlight are sealed & non replaceable for reliability unlike MSEP & Spectro where most could be replaced. If one of them burns out they'll have to cut & rewire a new light or just replace the whole string.
