and hearing the incredible soundtrack coming on swelling and filling the area, remember the preshow announcement and music? Not sure thats something they would know how to do anymore, would probably just be a vague generic announcement now but will see hopefully not.
IDK...MK hasn't taken the cheaper Route for the Parties......or Christmas Week
There are people who like it. I am not one of them. For the standards of other castle park parades I find it to have an obnoxious soundtrack, it's very short, many of the floats have an inorganic blocky design (including the overly straight grid patterns in which many of the the lights are laid out) and some really just look like they tacked TV's onto vehicles etc. IMO it's the worst castle park night parade. Works better somewhere like DCA or Hollywood Studios, but still not great on its own.
Not a fan of PTN, found the parade to be notably short on floats and relied heavily on Pixar and post-Reniassance era of Disney. Fantillusion and Spectromagic had a better selection of Disney films and healthy balanced out Disney Characters of old and new and better float design. The way PTN's floats are designed makes the parade feel "empty" at times.
Another issue I have with PTN is that the parade has very awkared transitions making the parade feel notably empty. The most evident is the Monsters Inc float where you can a huge gap between another oncoming float. Despite the different varations of "When Can We Do This Again", the floats for their respetivie films are very noisy and can sometimes be heard miles away from the next float. The most notable is The Little Mermaid float's transition to the Toy Story section.
It will run once per night after hours at an up charged event… have you not followed along
It'll probably run once or twice a night at a minimum.
I'm certain I saw SpectroMagic running in the opposite direction (i.e. starting in Frontierland) for the 11pm show. @marni1971 I believe has confirmed this has happened.
