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

They will not be shipping MSEP across the country. It may have finally glowed away forever.

They also said that in the 90s

It's been odd-numbered years getting a November 1 party, except for 2012, which had a November 2 party. 2022-2023 continued that.

Supposedly before the pandemic hit, we were supposed to have a November 1 party in 2020. However, we all know what happened and Halloween parties got canceled.

I hope floats like the train, a bug, and Elliott have one more trip left in them, to San Francisco as a new permanent exhibit in the Walt Disney Museum or if they can’t show it, the Smithsonian, because that’s where those floats belong.

But it didn't have its final run yet!

MSEP may be old but....It would have made for a Beautiful Announcement Today......Compared to UOR's Closed Mouths!

So the smoke on this is either Paint the Night or a new build. That's good to hear. Hopefully it's a new build, inspired by SpectroMagic.

One of my fears with a new build is something that is not a traditional style light parade, for example something like TDLs Nightfall Glow. I know Nightfall Glow is a rainy night parade and extremely short. I could see them wanting to do something that is not going to be maintenance heavy, something that will withstand the Florida humidity and overall not costly to operate. Paint The Night or anything like Dreamlights unfortunately does not fit that bill.

Well MSEP wasn't designed for Florida, so I'd imagine a night parade intended for WDW will utilize better tech to accommodate Florida weather.

Well WDW originally had its own set of MSEP floats and of course Spectro. I’m sure back when these were built the Florida climate was not of concern to them. The problem is the tech now a days might be problematic, at least that was one of the many rumored excuses why Paint The Night has not made the trip.

Well, thanks to World Celebration, they are now masters of subtropical lighting.

At least as we knew it? Or is it going to take to the skies?

as much as I want that too, I don't think its in them anymore nor would they know how to do something that grand again. Whatever they do its probably going to aim too high trying to be hip/trendy/and pop. Like paint the night or lumunious.

Soundtrack wise I could see them using Spectros music again but in a new modern way, similar to how they used baroque hoedown (MSEP) with Paint The Night. Just hopefully not in a pop/dance way.

I think we all know they’ll want a party atmosphere.

Be careful what you say they might bring Mix Magic to MK to

The "whimsical elegance" entertainment directive at MK has been gone for more than a decade. Temper expectations here. As much as *we* love Spectro, it's not the direction this is going in.

Maybe if we make enough noise about this we can change the direction!!! SHOULD I TYPE IN ALL-CAPS??!

Well MK is definitely not new to the party type entertainment. Surprise Celebration and Mickey Mania.

I’m somehow getting the vibe we aren’t getting an electrical light parade. More of a nighttime version move it shake it dance party with more elaborate floats.
