I honestly think we will never see them again. :cry:
I kind of think the same thing. As beautiful as they were, the physical damage they did to the castle each year was likely just getting to be too much. Picture that much rope and lights constantly banging against the fiberglass exterior of the castle for close to 4 months every year. That's a whole lot of physical damage to the exterior facade of the castle.

They should go through with installing LEDs into the castle. Wouldn't be visible during the day at all.

I can't speak for damage; I have no idea. You would think they worked out how to do it without damage?

It does appear to be labor intensive, and I presume costly.

Disney used the excuse of COVID to stop doing it and I believe they have no intention of resuming TO CUT COSTS.

OK we lost them. Why can't they projection map the Castle Dreamlights? It's better than nothing.

MVMCP is encompassing 25 nights (25 nights!!!) in a 6 week span. That means 25 days of shorter hours, no nighttime entertainment for paying guests and getting shooed out of the park before dinner.

But if you look at it the other way, there's a full 17 days in a 6 week span that one can experience regular hours!

Wait, that actually makes it sound worse :)

I guess I never realized how many nights per week this party is held vs MNSSHP. I know a family who will be in Disney November 12-17th. There are parties the 13th, 14th & 16th. They are doing 4 park days, the 13th, 14th, 15th and 16th. So if they want to see MK fireworks, the 15th is their only choice.

People keep forgetting that the shorter hours also means that fewer people are in the parks on those days. What you lack in nighttime entertainment, you make up for in being able to visit more attractions due to lesser wait times.
