This theory sounds plausible.Until people are not satisfied with just fireworks & projections there will NOT be another nighttime parade. They have learned they can be cheap & keep people in the park late. Why do you think they wait until 8 or 9 to do fireworks this time of year when it's dark enough by 7 for them. It's to keep people in the park later & they know park empties out after show. The whole reason for MSEP being created was to keep guests in the park later, now they have a cheaper alternative & won't change until we give them a reason to.
I would not enjoy a drone show either. In my experience, drones have always been used to replace more expensive effects to create something similar more cheaply. A drone/fountain combo at Animal Kingdom would work, and it would only add to what was once there, but replacing some of the fireworks with drone effects would just remove so much from the show. To me, it’s like replacing the dream lights with projections. The projections might have been cool if that was all we ever knew, but they’re clearly the cheap alternative to the dream lights and feel that way when you see them.
