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

[VJ]

Y’all actually believe Disney changed the float because they’re anti-American patriotism?

Also, American patriotism has had dangerous and often bigoted implications for some time now. Nothing new, in terms of it being thought of as a negative thing.

i did not mean to predict this thread's direction with my satire... oops

Just clarifying, Do you mean PTN is still in limbo as far as a decision to let WDW have it?

No no not at all, I meant it’s use is in limbo atm at DL. I never subscribed to the theory wdw would ever get it.

Frankly, given that DLR clearly isn't interested, worse things could happen than them just shipping it to WDW.

Rather than what's happening now where PTN is like the NFT of night parades.

not when it comes back in pieces

But if DLR isn't interested in those pieces other than to say "But IT'S MINE!!! And you can't have it!!!1!1!!!," of what benefit is it really?

i guess that's true, i agree disneyland should do something with the parade that isn't just leaving it backstage to rot but i think the better answer would be moving it to DCA

Agreed. I just don't know if there will ever be two night parades running simultaneously, especially since DCA's route backs up to the WOC arena.

Not sure why I cackled so hard when I read this. Yeesh.

Disneyland doesn't need to send anything to WDW, except maybe some good ideas on how to commemorate an anniversary. However, I agree with @PiratesMansion. PTN is no good just sitting in a warehouse. Sad that that's the case right now.

Who wants the weird ugly patriotic bacon when you can squeeze in an IP or 7?

Not just Disneylands PTN is sitting in a warehouse but also the original in Hong Kong. Though I’d assume as soon as things improve in Hong Kong, or rather open, they will bring back PTN. Funny how they had managed to run theirs longer than the US version. Sad.

It’s sad that patriotism is viewed as a negative now.

To all who come to this happy place: Welcome. Disneyland is your land. Here, age relives fond memories of the past, and here youth may savor the challenge and promise of the future. Disneyland is dedicated to the ideals, the dreams, and the hard facts that have created America, with the hope that it will be a source of joy and inspiration to all the world.

Disneyland was a beacon of American ideology… it’s lost its way.

People are idiotic these days. They think American history is problematic but will think it's fine to celebrate the history of other cultures that usually have a MORE problematic history.

There are LOTS of problematic parts of American history.

There are LOTS of problematic parts of EVERY history.

But I don't think it's anyone's place to rank which history is MOST problematic unless they can demonstrate actual credentials* to do so.

*=Nationalistic and/or patriotic feelings are understandable but are not actually in any way the same thing as genuine credentials.

To be honest, I'm excited and very interested of the new finale of MSEP. I think we used to have a Small World floats in MSEP once upon a time. I wish they used actual characters, but I guess dolls version will be fine. And I'm surprise their including Hercules. It looks like Hercules is becoming more of a classic than I thought.

MSEP will be shown twice when it returns. This also shifts fireworks back to its 9:30 slot.

Still baffled that they are still using the new design of Elliot for promotional material despite the old design (save for the eyes) still being used making us believe they redesigned the Pete's Dragon float.

 

[Phroobar]

Like anyone has any clue who Elliot is outside of the kid from E.T.

Do we know yet how long MSEP is expected to run? Hopefully PTN returns after.

I think at this point PTN is dead until proven otherwise.

If only a day time parade was part of the schedule. Also I miss when DCA had a daytime parade I know Pixar Play Parade was super old but it was better than nothing. I think its time for a new one.

On pure guess with the seasonal shows. I think MSEP will run until early Nov to be replaced by A Christmas Fantasy. With Disneyland Forever ending in early Sept to be replaced with Halloween Screams, followed by a 2 week run of Mix Magic till Believe closes out the year.

I feel more certain with my fireworks guess, maybe we can have MSEP and A Christmas Fantasy at the same time!?!?! I'm pretty sure MSEP fits under the garland? At least it did during its MK run when the top of the clock tower was removed. lol

Maybe PTN, and Magic Happens get wrapped up into some Disney 100th promo and come back in 2023? wrapped up with Run Away/ToonTown?

That would be something for DL if MSEP runs Under the Garlands!!! DL Park never went for an Electric Parade at Christmas before PTN/60th
