I wish they would just do this every day. Get rid of the Electrical Parade and run FoF at 3pm then again at night for all I care. FoF would be amazing at night!

Please no.

Run FOF 2 times a day? Sure. Have one of the performances at night? OK.

Get rid of MSEP so instead of having two different parades, you simply have one parade twice? Um, why would anyone want that? Give me multiple distinct options any time over only one.

Because the Electrical Parade is in terrible condition and not that good anyway....

Festival of Fantasy is not the greatest parade in the History of the world, but it's good and the Electrical Parade is just embarrassing lately.
But MSEP is still incredibly popular and it's a different experience from FOF.

I don't disagree that WDW needs a new nighttime parade and MSEP needs to be retired for good, but just to stop running it actually takes away more than adding a second FOF.

TBH, they could run two FOF AND two MSEP (FOF at 12 and 3 and MSEP at 9 and 11 or something like that). They just choose not to. During slow times, sometimes they don't even run MSEP at all.

Looks like MK got a new holiday week! Just looked at the online calendar and FOF starts 2 times a day on Friday and goes until the 21st! NICE!
Honestly they should run the parade twice a day. One at 3 and one at 6 at least during spring time when the sun isn't down yet.

Sorry for having an opinion. It's not like it would happen anyway.... And I wasn't truly suggesting it happen which is why I said "for all I care" when referring to the Electrical Parade.

I don't agree that it is incredibly popular. Most nights the second show is completely empty, even when it's surprisingly early, like 9:00pm. The only reason the first show is so busy is because the fireworks are right after.

Maybe I'm wrong, the Electrical parade is a polarizing issue among Disney Fans, but I often see that more people are waiting for the fireworks to go home, rather than just waiting for the parade.

We've heard the saying: "the first one is always more crowded than the second one" for every night parade WDW has had since WDW's own MSEP. I'm sure the same is true for Boo And Christmastime. Interesting question: anyone know how crowded MSEP was over Christmas when the 2 performances were after Holiday Wishes? What's interesting for this time is MSEP is still at 9 and 11, not both after Wishes like the other times FOF ran twice a day. Wonder why. I started this thread to let people know about FOF and to commend MK for being more like DL's old school schedule. Hopefully DL will go back to that come May. I think MK should have 2 different parades. Part of my reason is I grew up like that which is why it hurts me to see DLP and DL just one parade right now.

I really wish they would run FoF twice a day as well. In fact I was at WDW during summer of 2011 I believe it was when they were actually doing a two week test outside of peak times to run CaDCT twice a day. It was great, and in fact the way the scheduling worked with the two daytime parades, MiSiCi, and two MSEP, they somehow had more time in the afternoon to bring out the Main Street vehicles which was great. Two FoF's would help with crowding and hey more FP+ options...

I don't know, I work the parade almost every night and seems popular to me ;)
