Nope not a B mode. The system is very fickle and perhaps a little too safe. She started parade with the fire yesterday, but sometimes things happen, nothing bad, but it’s still working through some isssues. The parades team is trying their best to make sure she breathes fire every day and properly works but sometimes things happen.

Thanks for the info! No complaints from me - just thought it was odd. Seemed like a crew of techs were watching near the Liberty Tree so I assumed they’re still playing it safe and easing back into everything.

Dont get me wrong I don’t hate FoF but in 2 more years, 2021, it would be nice to have something new. Certainly not over a light parade however. I know its probably extremely unlikely MK will get both despit the rumor.

I must be the only person who breathed a sigh of relief at the lack of nighttime parade ESPECIALLY with how difficult it is to watch Happily Ever After...I used to hate having to dodge the parade or parade crowds, and with how the projections for HEA practically force you to camp out on Main Street to even get a chance at seeing that half of the show...yeesh. I'm quite glad for the lack of impediment the parade and its crowd always shoved on us. It's nice to not have to put that teeny effort into "okay but if we eat now we have to hide out here until after the parade" or "no we can't stop that thing steps off in 5 minutes GO GO GO"

STILL CAN'T BELIEVE that MK got no flack for not replacing or at this point, grabbing whatevers backstage at DLR now!

There are probably 4 scenarios, 1. WDW has no desire to have anything DL has. 2. DL has had a grudge against WDW and would never let WDW touch their parades again. 3. WDW is determined to not have a parade of lights going down their parade route until October 1st 2021 lol, or 4. They have no desire to ever have a nighttime parade again.

More going with number 2. and 3. Lol

The neck movement seems to be breaking down often, was broken a few times last week, during the villans after hours & today. But today they left the neck in the upwards position so it could breath fire.

someone correct me if I'm wrong, but when Melificent returned to FoF, that was a brand new version, right? (I HIGHLY doubt there was ANY way to salvage the old one.
