Epic Universe is opening May 22nd. Disney will give the people some time to visit the new park and take it all in and then steal the attention back by this paradeDepends what you call mid-summerIt isn't going to be in May, put it that way.
You don’t debut something so late in the season that you are already ramping up for the next one where you limit its showings. Memorial Day should have been the latest it debusted given the parties, but given the complete economic collapse that’s about to happen it probably doesn’t matter. Consumer spending on discretionary items is about to plummet, once tarrifs get added to essential items.
Reign in your expectations
I’m expecting only 3 more floats. A logo float, finale float and maybe 1 more main float.
Let’s see what happens when we get to the Calendar Phase. Maybe TDO is ahead of Schedule? Yes, Memorial Weekend might be a missed opportunity. But If Starlight opens before July, that's still most of the Summer.
As I expected but the Debut Year has been different. PTN at the 60th Halloween Party, Wishes instead of FITS Christmas at MVMCP before Holiday Wishes, HEA Christmas Week 2017.
Mickey at least... That Float was reported spotted during Disney Dreamers Academy....
I think the Blue Fairy float will act as the "logo float" itself, more akin to how Magic Happens doesn't have a logo float (yes I know its not a nighttime parade) Something tells me the soundtrack will likely repeat the title Starlight enough that people get the gist of what it's called.
Probably Paint the Night.
Kind of, but it was attached to the Tinkerbell float, they added that for the Disneyland version. It would be great if we got one here but I don't think we will.
Hopefully it won't be that close.It’ll debut just in time to go to seasonal operations for party season
Hopefully Mickey brings a Date!(like Calendar!)......
That's the plan we think...
