Don't fall behind MK!

They aren't. Summer is still a couple of months away, plus then runs until Sept




Of course TDO would drag their Feet returning a Nighttime Parade!!!! We'll be Darn Lucky if this opens before Party Season!!!! Honestly!!!!!


I don't see why it wouldn't be

I agree with not rushing it and doing a good job with this. However it would be nice to know MK is actually working on This....

I'm sure they are

Honestly, I prefer them not announcing a date until they are very sure they can meet it with a full fledged parade. I would fear if they announce a date too early then they might have to cut corners late in the process to meet the target - and they'd probably never go back to "fix" any deficiencies.

Exactly!

Second week of Aug might be MNSSHP (Rollseyes!) and most of us are guessing MK won't Open this during Party Season. So it's either going to be(my thoughts)before MNSSHP, or Christmas Week 2025, or who knows when!! I'm all for doing Starlight the Right Way but MK shouldn't forget about it either!....

I'm sure it's going to be before party season

Why? Because they can't handle some crowds? July 4 isn't as good as it once was, attendance-wise. Debut the parade a few days prior to filter out the must-see-first-show crowd (and July 1 is my first guess as to an opening date). I mean, this is supposed to be one of their draws against EU this summer, right?

So few out-of-towners are booking a trip for this, but there are a bunch around here who are treating it like the second coming.
It may not be as good as it once was but as someone who goes every year the crowds are still absolutely insane. Especially on Main Street.

Have the floats been brought to MK yet? If so I would assume someone has seen them?
With the debut likely more than two months away, I doubt that they would be at MK already. But I have no insider knowledge on this, just speculation.

When they do come down to MK, I’d assume someone will catch them in transit. They wouldn’t be particularly easy to conceal fully I don’t think.

I agree I am sure we will know when those floats arrive. There are a lot of eyes all over property so getting the floats in undetected won’t be easy and I’m sure they know this.

This sounds to me more like hedging their bets. If EU is a spectacular success, they'll roll out a new parade ( 😂 :rolleyes:) to counter it. If it is only so-so, they can wait longer to debut the parade, because there is no rush.

Just my own speculation but I feel like Starlight has nothing to do with EU but it’s a very late and delayed 50th Anniversary offering thanks to the pandemic. We know a nighttime parade has been off and on for a long time.
True that about the Off and On!!!
