Every time I see EU I think of the European Union and then I get so confused till I realize it’s about Epic Universe lol

I personally feel that entertainment isn’t the same as an attraction. Also to say that the parade has been well maintained wouldn’t exactly be the truth. TDO did a poor job at up keeping the parade, and it lost floats on its most recent trip to Disneyland.
I personally think MK deserves a brand new, unique nighttime parade. There’s no reason to trot out the nostalgia parade again.

I’m right there with you. I’m genuinely surprised at how much people here seem to dislike it.

If they’re going to bring it back I think they need to redo the lights to be like the ending new unit, like dream lights at TDL

I’d prefer a new parade but I too am constantly surprised at the negative comments from some regarding MSEP. It’s a classic and a part of Disney Parks nostalgia the same as many attractions that many feel are untouchable.
Have you seen any of the newer Disney parades? Because I have and they are all so much better than the Christmas tree lights on wire mesh parade with occasional fog machine. Night and Day better. It’s embarrassing this keeps getting hauled out.

Tell that to the terrible fate of the second half of the Pleasure Island unit that was badly damaged during it's previous run at WDW.

Because of how long WDW allowed MSEP to run causing Spectromagic to rot in the Florida weather.

A lot of WDW fans are still angry at MSEP due to the fate of Spectromagic (which was WDW's only electrical parade) since MSEP was originally planned for a Summer 2010 run only.

But if they did would it look right?

It seems to look fine for the “new” finally unit. I mean more in the newer lights they use for that unit

It's not that I hate the parade, but it's like a band. It's had several farewell tours.

I mean they can basically pull a cheap version of Tokyos Dreamlights by changing all the lighting on the existing floats and add in a few new floats with more recent characters. Hopefully build a new Blue Fairy opening float because Casey Jr does not cut it as the opening float, or least build a new Casey Jr and Drum float and make it bigger.
Or better yet just do what we all want and rebuild SpectroMagic! How awesome it would be to hear that soundtrack play over the MK speakers again! It’ll never happen but we can dream.

The people have spoken Disney! Bring back SpectroMagic! And don’t leave it in a tent this time.
Too bad that’ll never happen

Well that’s basically what PTN would be for WDW - familiar but something new. And it’s just sitting in storage unused.
But sure clone Dreamlights. That’s also a great idea.

A damaged unit TDO caused doesn’t negate the upgrades and new units it’s gotten with TDA.

The Disney Parks fan community isn't exactly known for its taste, tbh. People who hate MSEP are in the same category of people who hate HEA or hated IllumiNations; the "do not take their opinions on quality seriously" category.

Or because Walt Disney World used to have an electrical parade of it's own.
WDW fans are still not over the fate of that parade.
