I hate to be the one to do this but.....about Paint the Night...

[shortstop]

Is it safe to say that a 2019 return is out of the question now?

I wouldn’t count on it. Maybe for Christmas crowds, but other than that it seems unlikely.

Some MSEP floats were photographed being delivered to the resort. Get ready.

DLR??? MSEP was already backstage at DLR correct?

some speculate that the floats are being prepped for display at D23 Expo in August, so... i wouldn't get my hopes up, personally

They were off property somewhere and recently photographed heading backstage. My hope would be just for D23, but rumors point elsewhere.

 

[drizgirl]

Why would they ever bring back MSEP with PTN sitting backstage?

 

[TTA94]

Likely D23 considering its coming up soon, Or some said it was for a photo shoot, event or wedding. No reason they would return MSEP over the newer PTN.

Unless PTN needs another referb. That's what started MK's fiasco. IDK WHY PTN would need another referb NOW, It's been down since Nov 2018.

Except the reason that it’s a lot cheaper to run than PTN.

Lol then WDW has no chance of getting a new modern parade for the 50th if their expensive to run. If DL can’t afford it surely WDW can’t and won’t lol. Unless it’s forced on them strictly for the 50th.

I can't speak for parade budgets but I think WDW spent enough on HEA(unless TDO was forced to because DL took back MSEP.)

Hopefully WDW has enough money for a great Epcot Forever, Party shows and Epcot's 2020 show.

The amount of money Disney is making and they can't afford to run a night parade? I wouldn't mind if PTN was shown on weekends only, I rather see that back than MSEP (even though I don't think they would bring that back.)

 

[RescueTheDay]

I’d expect an announcement sometime this week announcing MSEP’s return.

That's insane..

 

[Disney Lover Addie]

DCA is a park full of random IPs, just like the parade. It’s a good fit and doesn’t seem out of place.

 

[dlr74]

The MSEP units seen on the freeway are currently sitting in the DCA parade warehouse. It’s only the small turtle units, no other floats around. I’d guess for a D23 Expo display as well.

 

[TTA94]

Hopefully announcements happen at D23 for both DL and WDW regarding parades.
