We all must remember we are "getting back" an offering we had in the past.
So its less of an additional offering and more "getting back" an offering.
That said, I am happy we are "getting back" a nighttime parade.
Shout Out to TDO for actually following through this time!!!! And not allowing anyone in TWDC to Cann This!!!!
Is Davidson working on this or is it just Team MK?
Oh I haven't forgotten that we lost something!........

Excited for the parade, but this is truly what I'm looking forward to the most.
Close at MK right now is absolute mayhem with HEA at 9:20 & park close at 10PM during the summer.
You would have to think from an Ops perspective it has to mean a 9PM parade, 10PM fireworks, and then another 11PM parade (which I believe was the old schedule when they ran MSEP twice in the summer).
It's going to have to be roughly an hour between parade and fireworks just to give them time to clear it all out and then let folks fill into the hub for fireworks and then if they run a second parade, clear them back out.

Yeah, later park closures will be the new normal next year. With 12AM closures more likely.
Only thing that could prevent that is still running night parade at 11PM, but the park still closes at that time.
I just watched it last night and found it very visually impressive, if somewhat short. But the amount of time I had to wait for what was an even shorter show than most of Disney's previous nighttime spectacular equivalents made me rather uninterested and seeing it again, and it feels like people around me agreed. The technology is impressive but they need to figure out how to bring it to a park.
Nope. MK has closed at 11 with a 11pm MSEP/Spectro.

Yes - I mentioned that in my last sentence.
My hope is that we see more 12AM closures. We shall see.
I'm sorry!!!! I did that on the fly! My Bad!!!!!!!

anyone else getting "Tokyo Disneyland Electrical Parade: Dreamlights" 2015 renewal vibes looking at the concept art for the Blue Fairy float?

Of course, they're the same float. Which I want to take as a good sign, but it'll depend on the quality/quantity of the rest of the floats, and the music choice. Hopefully it's not a case of Disney using that float in marketing because they know how beloved Dreamlights is, but the rest of the parade doesn't measure up.
Hopefully TDO is making their own Blue Fairy.....
TDL doesn't need to lose Theirs!

Man, I'm so jealous of you guys! The Disneyland I go to used to have a new nighttime parade Paint the Night Parade 9 years ago, but sadly didn't last long.However, for those of you who lived in Florida, I'm happy for you.
I mean, you guys dreamed to have a new nighttime parade for years, and now your dreams will come true. Congratulations!
Even though I will not go back to Disney World anytime soon, but I can't wait to see Disney Starlight Parade on Youtube next year.

It's almost certainly a copy.

Do you think "Dreamlights" would have received as many updates as it has if the ORIGINAL plan had come to fruition (it debuting at MK instead of TDL?

No lol, Orlando management would have let it rot and thrown it in the trash years ago just like they did to Spectromagic.
This new one will also likely eventually suffer the same fate unless it's shipped off to another resort.
Somehow the only parade float that has an immunity to this is the transparent castle float...
