I keep hearing that PTN won't return until 2018, which doesn't make sense to me because as @GiveMeTheMusic has stated it seems the plan is to have it return after MSEP leaves. I don't like that Disney has plugged the majority of info leaks.
Sorry but, DL would be STUPID to have a long gap between MSEP & PTN! Esp if MSEP leaves on time in early summer, DL's looking pretty good right now with MSEP! (Will look even better when Soundsational returns!) DL Park just got back into a night parade, why stop now??? Heck, they need MSEP for the first Winter/Spring after the 60th!(F! & PTN being referbed I know, but still.)

The only thing I can say about PTN not on the website anymore is maybe DL is being careful in not evicting MSEP right away in case MSEP knocks it out of the park every night?

I'm getting the vibe that, if there will be a delay, it would be because the refurb would need more time.

MSEP Was running when F! Started back in 1992.

It was very common in the early to mid 1990's to have three Fantasmic! shows per night, plus two MSEP performances, and a quick Fantasy In The Sky fireworks wedged in between it all. As I remember the average spring and summer schedule when Disneyland was open until Midnight or 1AM went like this;

9:00 MSEP from Small World to Main Street
9:00 Fantasmic! #1
9:30 Fantasy In The Sky
10:30 Fantasmic! #2
10:30 MSEP from Main Street to Small World
11:45 Fantasmic! #3

Depending on how much they hype the new Fantasmic!, I imagine they could do that same schedule this summer but substitute PTN for MSEP, with a bigger 21st century fireworks show at 9:30.

Rainy forecast is firming up for this Thursday and Friday. Right now it looks like...

Thursday (MSEP Premiere Party) - Rain early morning hours, turning to afternoon showers ending by evening.
Friday (MSEP Public Debut) - Rain, heavy at times, late morning into early evening. Showers late Friday night thru Saturday morning.

Sure hope PTN gets more floats and more characters after the refurb, it always felt so short with not a lot of characters. They could also use more dancers in some areas.

Why did they bring the parade back in January again? Winter is typically California's rainy season
Fun thing about a parade that's just spent 6 years in Florida: it's waterproof. It ran in the rain on a fairly regular basis in MK; in fact, its final MK performance was during a light drizzle.

Here's a video from summer 2015 during heavier rain; some elements are missing or modified (most notably no microphones for Alice and Pete, reduced choreography for finale dancers), but by and large the parade was presented in its entirety


Whether the delicate flowers in southern California are willing to perform and/or watch the parade in the rain is a different matter. Dealing with common-to-everybody-else weather may just be too much of a burden for them. All this handwringing just seems silly to me. The show must go on, right?

PTN on Dec 30th, 2016 was just floats because of rain. so it can hapen. I don't think any parades go out in Thunder/Lighting correct?
