If they decide to not add the fire back, I imagine they can could get the float back a lot faster. Mine Train had a roof fire and they reopened the same day.
We were in WDW when the fireworks from Wishes caught the roof of SDMT on fire. Social Media had the attraction closing forever, the building destroyed, and we took pictures riding it that same night during EMH.

Based on video, this one was put out with fire extinguishers. There are multiple RCID Fire stations around the property. The closest one to the Magic Kingdom is out behind the area of Splash Mountain. There is also another one behind Japan in Epcot.

In the event of a major fire event (top of 7DMT) they can and do bring fire trucks right into the park to put it out. It's rare but if it's needed they will (and have) absolutely bring them in. 'Magic' isn't an issue when you're considering safety.
When the roof of 7DMT caught fire (it wasn't major in any way), the fire trucks were parked in front of The Friar's Nook for about 20 minutes to ensure the fire was out. 7DMT was open in less than 1 hour the night of the fire. But the response was lightning fast!!!

The problem I have with them not bringing back Maleficent is that, with her removal from the parade, it would officially take out any “free” offering (M&G, Parade, Show) of any character from Sleeping Beauty (Aurora, Phillip, Maleficent, and/or Fauna, Flora, & Merriweather) from MK. And that would just burn me up! (Sorry!)

Phillip, Aurora, flora, fauna, and Merriweather are all still in the parade since Maleficent has been gone.

They could have at least tied some ribbon and flowers to it, looks very dull. It’s also too big for just two characters, Put Snow White and a dwarf on the back would also help fill out the space a little nicer.

I agree... I know it was a last minute change but...

at least it wasn't a tractor pulling a farm wagon with them on it I guess

We saw the parade a couple of days ago with no dragon. It's been a while since I've seen it but I think they had the 7 dwarfs where it would normally be. Not the same for sure.
