So I guess this pretty much confirms Disneyland will have two parades and Disney World will be left with no nighttime parade ever.
Well for me it's ever when I have been planning my BF first ever and probably only trip. I am still so mad.I wouldn't say ever..probably for the short term though...
Then cancel if this is a deal breaker.Well for me it's ever when I have been planning my BF first ever and probably only trip. I am still so mad.
I have zero faith in ROL ever happening, when we booked in February ROL was supposed to start in April and now with our trip 7 monts after that date no ROL and Ak closing at 6pm! It's just very frustrating when you finally get to take someone very important to you to your favorite place on earth after all these years and everything we had him hyped up for either is being yanked away or just not happening at all.Ddisneyland doesn't run two parades - Paint the Night and MSEP are both nighttime parades.
If anything, they are now even - one parade, one fireworks. They just run their parades at different times.
Of course, Disneyland also has Fantasmic but WDW does, too, just in a different park. Plus (soon) River of Light, and of course Illuminations.

The next four months does not help me when I am going in November that is two months away when I was told it was starting in April which was 5 months ago, I'm sorry if Disney has not worked out the bugs in five months time they must be morons. And yeah I may be having a meltdown, but when you have been wanting to take someone for 6 years and they finally get to go and it seems like Disney is doing every thing they can to ruin things before this once in a lifetime trip, I think I am entitled.RoL is happening within the next four months, so you can stop the meltdown about that show now
Other hype-ables: Jungle Cruise. Pirates. Splash. Big Thunder depending on when you're going. Mansion, Mine Train, Space Mountain, Wishes, FoF, one of the holiday parties, if you're going, Soarin, Test Track, Mission:Space, World Showcase at large, IllumiNations, ToT, RnRC, Star Tours, Midway Mania, Indy, Star Wars fireworks, Fantasmic, Safaris, Kali, Everest, Dinosaur, FotLK, likely RoL despite your pessimism. Resorts? Water parks? Disney Springs.I have zero faith in ROL ever happening, when we booked in February ROL was supposed to start in April and now with our trip 7 monts after that date no ROL and Ak closing at 6pm!

Well the thing is my daughter is a huge MSEP fan and has been talking it up to him for years, and before we booked I went on and on about ROL and how awesome it looked and how it was starting on Earth day in April so there would be no problem come November, so now I fell responsible about hyping up things that thanks to Disney he will now never get to see. Yes due to my guilt I have booked a Fantasmic Diner Package to make sure he gets to see that, and I am not a big fan of illuminations, I liked it much better years ago before the big annoying globe with the projections became most of the show so I could care less if we see that.Other hype-ables: Jungle Cruise.

Especially for a first-timer, mindset going in is a principal determinant of your experience. The first-timer has the luxury of not noticing stagnation or small declines like a regular visitor. And while WDW isn't perfect, it is still spectacular and, on the whole, being revitalized (whether or not you like the revitalizations).

FoF isn't running twice daily, this is just replacing the dining package. I'm sorry to hear how you feel about (in my opinion) one of the best parades ever created by any of Disney's entertainment teams.Well I'll take Festival of Fantasy over Paint the Night any way but besides that this stinks.
