One doesn’t need to be hyped to be entertained. Parades not need to be pep rally’s.
I have the exact opposite opinion of Spectro’s beginning and end compared to MSEP.

I can't explain why but the fact that it's a waltz is part of why I love Spectro. It's just so different and out of the box from the standard 4/4 march.

It felt grand, that's probably why I enjoyed Spectro over MSEP. After hearing MSEP and watching about 5 minutes, I left. It sounded cheap and looked cheap, which is fine considering how old it is. I respect the history of MSEP but it didn't fit MK at all.

Parades and Fireworks are attractions though. Attractions make money because they bring people into the parks.
I mean Disneyland ran an entire commercial campaign for the return of the Electrical Parade, you don’t run commercials and billboards for things that don’t bring in guests.
So I would argue that they do make money on paper.
The current management team is very against live entertainers, cutting them from rivers of light, cutting them from galaxies edge, cutting parades and shows.... it is quite odd to me actually. I’m surprised we still have the big budget castle show.
EPCOT had one of the best parades ever done in a Disney park though"Tapestry of Nations". Also an ear worm of music...
I still listen to that soundtrack all the time! Loved that parade...
Of course they do. Everyone (including Disney) likes to forget about the money people pay to be there in the first place.
DON'T NOT GIVE TDO IDEAS about MRFF!!!!!!
About Entertainment making crowds and money.......Didn't MK see a need for HEA? if Attendance wasn't a problem after MSEP went home, we would still have Wishes right?

Yes. My very limited understanding is that HEA got a bigger pyro budget because of no night-parade.
exactly
SWGE not really that big of crowds showing up at Disneyland.
MSEP....loads of people!!!!
Wonder if Magic Happens is helping with crowds or if DL still needs MSEP and/or PTN if the're low.
A better show than Mix Magic would help too IMO!

I’m curious once Harmonius opens if that could possible have a impact on HEA. Meaning a reason for them to possible switch to a 50th show, possibly a MK Forever show, maybe less pyro, which could help with the cost of returning a parade?
Time might be an issue......Twitter rumor says Harm. not till Oct 1st. 1 year before the 50th.(if the 50th doesn't start any eariler)IDK how much time TDO needs to start up new fireworks shows. If we wait for Harm. I think a brand new parade is out of the question. I think It'll be MSEP or PTN(Sounds like MSEP most likely)which if fine with me! I'm just saying don't expect something new if we have to wait for Harm. to see what effect MK has.
If something's not already in the works! All I'm saying is 1 year or under is not enough time to conceive, build and debut a brand new parade, I could be wrong though!!

I agree.... it’s not looking promising. :-(
We should be getting a new day parade too, FOF will be in its 8th & 9th year during the anniversary.
At this point I think we will be lucky to have msep and not just “move it shake it mouske’50th it”

Both Epcot and especially DAK would probably be better suited by having a large scale daytime water show like Mythica in Tokyo rather than a parade due to logistics.
They certainly should have a daytime parade back at DHS. With the current attention/crowds that the park is having combined with the lack of new stuff that should have been built along with Star Wars, it seems to me to be a no brainer to have a daytime parade. The infrastructure is all still there and it would pull people away from SW and Toy Story.

As has been mentioned, they reportedly have a new light parade designed for MK - the question is whether it has or will be given a budget. Certainly could be done for October 2021 if desired.

If only DAK had a large amphitheater along the water that goes totally unused throughout the day...

This is what I mean when I say that current management misses the forest for the trees. If you keep updating entertainment, you can drop new merch for that entertainment that lets the cash roll in. The old adage about spending money to make money applies all too well in this industry.

Bring Mickey's Soundsational Parade from Disneyland to DHS. We have received hand me downs from Disneyland before and this particular parade would be an awesome addition to the park. It would be a great tie in for Mickey's Runaway Railway celebration!
