PTN—aka Screens on Wheels—is the most disappointing night parade I’ve ever seen, but I never saw Light Magic.
the soundtrack to Light Magic is good though when you listen to it on its own.

That's an odd observation, screens on wheels. I kind of get it for the monsters Inc float and perhaps the drum but for Tinker Bell? Toy story? Elsa? Cars? Mermaid? Screens on Wheels? No. PTN was not also known as Screens on Wheels. Light magic was closer to being that.PTN—aka Screens on Wheels—is the most disappointing night parade I’ve ever seen, but I never saw Light Magic.

Yeah, MIB kinda puts Buzz at MK to shame. Honestly wouldn't mind if they built a new and improved version of Buzz at DHS as part of the new Toy Story Land. The combined space of the current Buzz and Laugh Floor could probably be much better utilized as one larger attraction.

I prefer Paint The Night any day to Light Magic..Unique yes...but you had to be in an exact spot to see the action.

I’ve heard many people in Entertainment call it that. It’s true there are only a few floats with screens, but they’re so prominent that they distract people who were hoping for a TDL-style night parade.
Somehow, I think the PTN style will work better and be less distracting in DCA.
Does anyone else get the feeling that Disney could put screens on the side of tram cars, show a bunch of characters, and they'd call it a parade these days? Are physical set pieces the focus still or are the screens?

Shhh, the Disneylander's will come after you with pitchforks and torches! Don't you know it's the bestest nighttime parade EVER?

It's much better suited for DCA

I really liked Light Magic. A lot! Same for PTN. But of the two Light Magic really did have viewing challenges and really was screens on wheels.

PTN has everything over 'no nighttime parade' that currently exists at MK.
What I wish had happened was that MK got PTN instead of DCA for a 3-4 year run, to be replaced by a new built for MK parade for the 50th.

Not sure if I have mentioned this before.... but was wondering if there are plans to release a 50th anniversary box set similar to Disneyland's? Would love to own such classics as "If You Had Wings" and "Now Is The Time".... I bought DL's box set and love it. I'm sure a WDW set would be just as amazing!
"Now Is The Time" was on an old Official Album of WDW, but I don't recall which one. I have it at home.

I definitely think that the current nighttime parade at MK is superior to the PTN at DCA.
Here is my favorite part...
I doubt TDA would refurb PTN and then loan is to TDO, who have quite a history, and an MO, with parade floats...
