MSEP ending at Disneyland on Sept 1, WDW return in 2023?

Is it wrong that I'd also settle for “March of the First Order” or something similar to return at DHS? I miss that kinetic energy so much.

I don’t really understand why they didn’t keep that and move it to GE

Here’s something crazy, how about a night parade at AK. Themed to animal AP.

DAK isn’t really ideal for a parade in terms of the walkways. Doing a show in the already established theater is a much better option.

If they want a “parade” there doing a line of floats in the water would be a better option.

Was it unsafe during party season in 2016?

I don’t if it was unsafe but landscape was different.

Parks were opened later and Wishes was a considered an aging (still popular) show.

Enchantment and MK was absolutely bonkers in December. I can’t imagine a parade on top of that.

Having been there on opening night of MNSSHP, yes it was. I’ve never seen MK like that. It was so bad we got comp tickets to MVMCP as a replacement for later that year.

He was referring to non party nights.

Timeline probably, but they could have swapped out Phasma to somebody else.

That’s fair. I imagine having a parade at 9 and 11 with HEA at 10 would help. Increasingly, MK is open until 11 whenever it’s busy, anyway. Parade at 8 and 10 with HEA inbetween during standard time.

I don’t know how MK will function with HEA and a night parade from Aug-Dec unless they move the parties back to the AH brand.

I’d rather them stick PtN at DHS.

I remember when MK was able to run both firework shows and nighttime parade twice a night (except for MNNSHP and MVMCP).

Better as a water-show-parade hybrid across Discovery River similar to Tokyo DisneySea's shows. But the Discovery River Theater has been cursed when it comes to entertainment for a while now.

Didn’t they enlarge the Hub, build 2 bypasses along MSUSA, and erect several extra bridges along the western Hub to allow for this kind of entertainment?

Granted, it would be a mess at first. They don’t have enough CMs with memory of the requisite crowd control. But they could be taught and would learn.

That’s what you get when you build on a haunted swamp.

Wasn’t that a consideration at some point before RoL? But required to many changes to the parade route and such.

If you do a parade at 9, HEA at 10, and then parade again at 11, it naturally helps the crowd flow honestly.

Parade first keeps the entire hub and Main Streer from gridlocking and filling up for firework viewing because they have to keep the parade route clear. Then by the time the parade clears the hub and Main Street it’s only about 30 minutes before fireworks. And then second parade helps keep guests in the park a little longer to help ease the guest flow exiting after fireworks.

They really had the perfect system for a long time that helped guest flow rather than one firework show at 9 that guests fill up the hub and Main Street one hour before gridlocking most walkways and then everyone mass exiting because there’s nothing to do after the fireworks.

Well I know the answer and it’s “didn’t want to pay for entertainment” but my point is the March of the First Order would have been perfect for improving the ambiance in GE

 

[TTA94]

I hope the timeline of this fall plays out rather than 2024.

 

[JustInTime]

It seems more likely that they (the unnamed site) have the parks wrong in terms of which parades are where. So PTN in MK and MSEP staying at DLR (DL or DCA) would make fit that description.

Great point but there are floats that won’t fit in MK from PTN. So it would be shorter which would be fine.

They could just short it or add to it.

 

[TDLFan]

A fall/winter opening would be great! If the Epcot stuff does well, this would be the icing on the cake, honestly. A good to great comeback after the 50th!

 

[Starship824]

Since the rumor is that the Mac float can’t fit in MK because of liberty square. Maybe they could add a Tron float to replace it. The Tron aesthetic fits PTN perfectly imo.

Maybe Pandora robot walker thing returns for Earth Day.

What does Pandora and Earth Day have to do with each other? They aren't even doing a Pandora cupcake for earth day.
