News Main Street Electrical Parade and A Christmas Fantasy Parade to return

[Dear Prudence]

Can I just say I am so relieved that so many people online are admitting they thought the patriotic flag was bacon? Because I thought I was the only one.

The update is cute. I could do without Pocahontas, though

People have been calling it bacon for years XD

Sipper is gone.

Maybe they're cool, but I just can't get past the word "sipper."

Surely there must be something else to call it instead?

Clearly they're popular but sipper is the moist of Disney merchandising words for me. YMMV.

I don’t like that they just recycled the float at the end, looks kinda awkward with the small World-esque s characters on top. Will it just change back to its original form in four years? 2026 does mark our country’s 250th Birthday.

I saw MSEP is returning and got very excited!

Oh...Disneyland.

I bought the stupid piece of plastic, damn straight I'm going to drink my beer from it.

*Stares in facts*. The U.S.A. will be 250 years old in 2026.

Same lol. July 4, 2026 will be a regular day for me. Maybe I’ll go to one of my favorite gay clubs.

Should they decide to do an American thing for the parade, hopefully they’ll create a new float.

Nothing says Patriot like bacon.

I think you need to actually pay attention to our flag-

They weren't quite at states yet, they had to speak in an indoors voice first.

Anyone know how long MSEP will run before it gets mothballed again? Would be cool to see it continue into the holiday season this year.

Last time it came back in 2019, it ran until the end of September. In 2017 it ran from January to August.

Likely will run until the end of summer but likely we'll see an extension till at least after Halloween

Only saw it WDW in 2013, but this parade is timeless. That synth is infectious!

Yawn. If you want your fix of Disneyfied Patriotism, just go visit the American Adventure, The Hall of Presidents, or Great Moments. Believe me, an American flag parade float that looked more like bacon than Old Glory doesn't cut it.

I'm sure it'll be around then or back soon. Clearly we've reached the stage where Bob Chapek and the People With Influence (TM) of Disney would sooner pull the parade down the parade route themselves get underlings to move the parade down the parade route than admit that it needs to be retired and end it forever.

At this point it will outlive us all.

Waited a grand total of 20 minutes for the MSEP sipper and popcorn bucket. 20 min at Coke Corner on Friday afternoon for the sipper and put a mobile order in for the bucket from my hotel room at 10:30 am yesterday which was picked up with no wait at Troubador Tavern.
