I believe the parade is a go. So it would be on execution of future nighttime shows to be more in line with the classic MK feel many of us remember.

Not quite sure I understand this sentence. You mean the parade is NOT in line with the classic MK feel?

From what I’ve been gathering on here MK is basically getting PTN, or similar. Of course the question remains if it’s Disneylands, Hong Kong’s or WDWs own set of floats. Hopefully at least the latter and completely different floats.

Paint the Night was great at Disneyland, but it would feel really tired at MK. They deserve their own. If they're going to go through the operational hurdles of having a nighttime parade, they might as well do it right. They don't want another Harmonious. Obviously Paint the Night is NOT Harmonious, but if they don't do a good job with this, it's going to be very frustrating. I guess I'll take what we can get.

Not, it’s not. They don’t make things like that for MK and haven’t for years. The only question is: which B-rate pop star you kind of recognize will sing the theme song?

My dark horse pick here is Andy Grammer. He's faded enough into semi-obscurity to be affordable, probably.

Yeah I imagine he’d take their call. Maybe they could offer 3 nights performing at F&W to sweeten the deal. Not quite washed up enough for F&G.

Hopefully with Wonderful 2025 News!!!!!!!!!!will be a light August
Looks like FOF is going back to 2pm for Party Season like it was Pre COVID.
I'm bothered by only 1 Adv. Friends. Either add another one, or add another MMFF or Finally return the Trolley Dancers!!!!
Please let MK Entertainment get a BIG Boost during or after D23!

This is just to allow for float drivers and performers to get proper rest. Between am rehearsals for Halloween and Christmas, daily operations, events, and overnight rehearsals they are always stretched very thin.

I wonder how they will manage the new nighttime parade? Hire more float drivers and performers?

the change in parade times made me think of the funny question: what time does the 3pm parade start? Now it starts at 2.
