August 2026 feels like a safe bet to plan a trip to see this.Any inkling for when it will start? Trying to plan a quick trip and have some flexibility - does first week of August feel safe or could it be even after that?
True but Honestly.August 2026 feels like a safe bet to plan a trip to see this.![]()
So July 4th is off the Table?Still believe this opens by the end of July. They were just confirming it’s not in the Memorial Day package this year.
I didn’t say that.So July 4th is off the Table?
Interesting......I didn’t say that.
Seems like it would be insane on Disneys part to debut a new night parade so close to one of the busiest days of the year.So July 4th is off the Table?
Who knows?Seems like it would be insane on Disneys part to debut a new night parade so close to one of the busiest days of the year.
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?Seems like it would be insane on Disneys part to debut a new night parade so close to one of the busiest days of the year.
IDK......I sure planned my 1999 Trip over the Spectro-MSEP changeover.Why? Because they can't handle some crowds? July 4 isn't as good as it once was, attendance-wise.

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.
That's because Summer doesn't start until the Summer Solstice on June 21-ish. Or at the Vernal Equinox on March 21-ish. Or when college students are free to take Summer jobs at the beginning of May. Or when grade school students are done with school late June. Or on Memorial Day.Still believe this opens by the end of July. They were just confirming it’s not in the Memorial Day package this year.
You're not wrong.That's because Summer doesn't start until the Summer Solstice on June 21-ish. Or at the Vernal Equinox on March 21-ish. Or when college students are free to take Summer jobs at the beginning of May. Or when grade school students are done with school late June. Or on Memorial Day.
So... "Summer."
Or June 1st for meterological summer.That's because Summer doesn't start until the Summer Solstice on June 21-ish. Or at the Vernal Equinox on March 21-ish. Or when college students are free to take Summer jobs at the beginning of May. Or when grade school students are done with school late June. Or on Memorial Day.

Or Memorial Weekend as unofficial start of Summer. Strange that Mermaid and Villains start after that.....Or June 1st for meterological summer.
Not really... something Epic opens the Thursday prior so any sort of media coverage that week is bound to be eclipsed.Or Memorial Weekend as unofficial start of Summer. Strange that Mermaid and Villains start after that.....
Believe me, I know! 56 Days and change!!Not really... something Epic opens the Thursday prior so any sort of media coverage that week is bound to be eclipsed.
The week after should be fine though.
Well, if Len is right (he's expecting an announcement on a project for Animation Courtyard), Disney could have some media attention.Believe me, I know! 56 Days and change!!I'm just surprised WDW is letting UOR have their weekend. I don't think MSEP did that in 1999/2010.
Perhaps for those of you in America it is.Or Memorial Weekend as unofficial start of Summer. Strange that Mermaid and Villains start after that.....
