they have unveiled quite a few plans for 2020. So far no still no sign of a light parade. Are the streets going to remain dark, did they take away the Electrical Parade just to unveil it again like where stupid and treat it as a brand new attraction or is there a chance for a brand new set? 2 years and no light parade, this is hitting real close to home now.

Night Time Parade status
  • Get a new night time parade back eventually... a slim possibility of a borrowed parade, or, the one meant for the 50th rushed into production for 2017 or 2018
  • Festival of Fantasy didn't turn out to work well at night, so, not used. Though, an iteration of Move It Shake It was moved to early evening.
  • But there will definitely be a new night time parade for the 50th in 2021. [likely] [and now even more likely none until the 50th]
  • Definitely planned for the 50th. Big budget. Some Paint the Night tech and some new tech. [here]

Basically, DL wanted MSEP back and WDW had to give it back. SpectroMagic was improperly stored and rotted. The budget for a new 50th Anniversary Electric Night parade was possibly going to be used to rush a new parade into production, but, when HEA proved to be so popular, they held off. So, no new parade until the 50th.

Glad they didn't rush this one, it would have been allot like the current attractions out now.
