That hasn't stopped you before.
I like how you also skipped over my Fantasmic post because you have nothing to say.

Quite right, the nighttime parade was great for two reasons, many people liked and wanted to see it and those who didn't wish to see it benefitted from lighter crowds at other attractions before and during it's procession. Hopefully WDW have something in the pipeline to rectify the current situation.
If we had our own hot gaudy mess we would have something extra to see as well as keeping main street unblocked for a while longer (apart from the 15 minutes or so that it runs) before HEA.

Sure, but that doesn't mean that a nighttime parade wouldn't be welcome... Once Upon a Time is kind of pointless and replacing it with a parade would be a very positive improvement.
That's not the point. Some troll wanted to start a MK v DL brouhaha.

I seen photos of guests actually waiting weeks after MSEP left. They weren't used to WDW not having a night parade.I still remember the SAD STORIES about guests at the Magic Kingdom who would congregate in the evening to watch in excitement the nighttime parade. This was right after the POWERS-THAT-BE decided to put an end to it.
The 7 non-parade nighttime shows WASN'T ENOUGH for these guests. I don't blame them.
The guests waited & waited & waited. They were waiting for an absolution that would never come.
And WDW MANAGEMENT be like...

If you think about the reason they added the nighttime parades/shows: To get guests to stay after dark and spend money on dining and other merchandise, then you could definitely make an argument now that a nighttime parade not only isn't needed but is a logistical nightmare with the current nighttime crowds.
The fact is: They really don't need a nighttime parade. People are staying anyway.

Illuminations and all the other nighttime spectaculars far outweigh DL's nighttime entertainment.

I would rather WDW never have a nighttime parade again, full stop. It's so much more pleasant to be in that park in the evenings without the hordes on the parade route.

But you're not everyone. With careful planning, you can avoid being "disrupted" by parades.

LOL I know. I wasn't getting worked up
IDK, I feel like I can throw shade regardless of whether WDW's four parks has a parade or not. Because Disneyland went without, we just accept what we get and praise it to high heaven? I'd rank many parades before it. It's not bad. I don't hate it. I don't see why it's bothersome if some of us aren't a fan of the parade? It seems to really rile the DLer's up if we don't like Paint the Night. I don't get it. I actually like the soundtrack and some of the floats are nice, but it just doesn't come together for me like Spectromagic, Main Street Electrical Parade, Dreamlights .... Paint the Night never felt like "Disneyland" to me. It fits DCA though.
So because WDW has no parade I have no room to talk and throw shade? I disagree on that one lol. But it's really not that serious. I'd also likely feel the same way if MK debuted Paint the Night.

What's your problem? When did I claim to be "everyone"? I shared MY opinion, which I'm entitled to as much as anyone else.
No, you can't. Not if you have small children and want to leave the park anywhere between 8:00 and midnight. There's no way to comfortably egress the Magic Kingdom on a parade night, period.

There's this place called Town Square. I hear it's near the exit.

I'd rather have a nighttime parade than the fireworks.
Ain't that the truth. While the parades at the Halloween and Christmas parties are fantastic (100 times better than MSEP), they create such a mess in conjunction with the stage show and fireworks.

While we're at it, let's stop all firework shows because it just gets too crowded.
