I think they'd benefit far more from a high quality daytime parade and keeping similar night time entertainment to what they have now. Not that I'd complain about having a night parade in that park....

I would love to see it feature Baroque Hoedown or a modified version of that. It is IMHO a classic well recognized part of Disney parks, up there will the music from IASW, HM and IASW.

@MansionButler84 For this new nighttime parade are they aiming for a new version of something already done before either at WDW or somewhere else? or are they aiming for a totally different, all new concept?

That’s more a marketing decision. I guess if they really wanted to call it Paint the Night: Celebrate! they could. But it’s not a carbon copy of another parade.
If MSEP is still intact at DL's Backstage, MK should get MSEP NOW until the 50th! In my mind!

Spectromagic was a beloved parade by most guests at WDW at the time, and the majority of those return guests really do miss it.
It would be great if they managed to make an updated version for the 50th.

Excuse me! That is not what I said! Why are people so against MSEP?!??!
It's better than MK going into its second summer without a night parade, without a second FOF no less! This was unheard of years ago. Why should we give MK a pass now and for the next 3 years????
HEA and OUAT not included, of course OUAT could be upgraded.

MSEP is worn out by most people's standards... It has been seen and seen and seen...It has been retired numerous times and then dragged out when they don't have anything else....rather than spend the budget revamping that tired old show girl one more time, put it into the development of a new parade and retire MSEP into the Spectromagic Graveyard.

Someone mentioned on twitter but I cannot find the page anymore that all the good stuff at WDW 50th will most likely be Upcharge events @marni1971 @MansionButler84
Have any of you heard this?

No. Which moron tweeted that? Tweedle-Dee or Tweedle-Dum? There will be upcharge viewing, of course. But not upcharge-only.

Alot of WDW fans are bitter with MSEP since they kept the parade running longer than usual since it was originally scheduled to run for the Summer of 2010 and Spectromagic was set to return after that summer. Instead it ran from 2010 up till October 2016.
Some, like myself, consider it simply outdated. And as much as people have professed their love for Baroque Hoedown, I hate it. The melody is repetitive and trite and sounds like it was recorded from a 1975 Casio 25-key keyboard playing on internal speakers.
Just Google the other Disney parks nighttime light parades and hopefully y'all see it pales in comparison.
I can wait for a much much much better nighttime parade for the 50th.

I don’t think anything would make anyone here more happy than to see some form of SpectroMagic reinvigorated for the 50th. It would take care of reintroducing a night parade to the park while also honoring a piece of MK history beloved by many. This should be a no brainer for the 50th anniversary, really.

The castle float is pretty alive still, I remember they used it a few times during the 24 hour events.
Anyway If they really do not want to ditch MSEP.. they could update it like Tokyo does constantly.

I think someone took one of the jokes of this forum a bit too close to home.
Because the whole "upcharge everything.. and with a cupcake!" is a running joke since Iger took control.
I still laugh at the poop bread and pastries of Animal Kingdom.

I LOVE MSEP and the Baroque Hoedown. But it's time to let MSEP rest in piece(s). What Disneyland should have done was take the MSEP and upgrade it and re-do some of the floats, etc. Disneyland deserved something akin to Dreamlights, not Paint the Night, which works just fine for California Adventure. But maybe it wouldn't have been worth the effort to totally re-do and upgrade MSEP? I don't know quite how those decisions work or get made.

And MSEP is almost 50 years old now. Just let it die!
