There’s no way we will hear about this parade before D23. Even D23 is questionable I’m assuming. Im sure we will know when an announcement is imminent not just by @wdwmagic but possibly @marni1971 and others.

If it's intended to counter Epic's opening, I would expect something announced after the year turns over, so those that are planning trips to Epic can add WDW days to see the new parade.
So like DL's 60th. Announce in Jan, open like May.
Now that I think about it MSEP 2010 was announced like Feb 2010......

I don’t think crowd control for parades is as big of a deal as end-of-night fireworks. There are two things that could be done which would help that, but it’s too radical to even consider.
Replace HEA with a non projection show that might spread out the crowds?
. I’ll go run and hide now lol.

That’s what I’m thinking, unless they want to make a big deal in advance. Is a brand new nighttime parade that MK hasn’t had in years something that should be announced in a random blog post? It is kind of a big deal.

A new parade - while needed and welcomed - won't move the trip planning and package booking needle. It will, however, increase guest satisfaction, ease attraction demand, and increase food and merchandise sales.
Breaking ground on massive new projects in two parks will. Substantially.
Expect them to be announced as such.

Agreed. New parade is more of a DPB post since the fans who read that are the same people who will actually come to the parks specifically to see it.
Average Joe might actually bring his family for that new Indy ride. I’ve heard such conversations from non-fan coworkers over the likes of Pandora and SWGE. I may not love Iger or the full execution of the projects, but those lands certainly got trips booked.
But, they aren’t new anymore. On to the next projects.

WDW needs more in 2025 than a night parade. It will only help MKs attendance, which technically isn’t the park that needs help. DAK does.

Well D23 is full of fans so that would have the same affect as a DPB post. Perhaps they could announce it but be very vague then follow up late in the year or early next year with more info.

Sure. Perhaps a vague aside from Josh. But certainly not a focus item from Bob.

They did announce Magic Happens at D23 so anything is possible... we've seen just about everything announced at D23 before... full lands, fireworks, heck, even a Target
Yeah and for Magic Happens we got a preview of the theme song. Ideally if they do announce the night parade, IF it’s brand new, is to go into detail, name, concept art and give us a preview of the soundtrack. Odds of that happen?
They could drag out Steve Davison to make the announcement lol. I would assume he will be in charge of MKs parade.

Please no. Expect a rave light parade like Paint if he is.

Well I wouldn't say that necessary since he also did Festival of Fantasy and most recently Luminous so just because he's involved doesn't mean it'll be a rave. However that doesn't mean it won't, look at Mickey's Mix Tragic and Harmonious.

I used to think Steve Davison was great, but his track record in the last fifteen years is quite spotty in my opinion.

I've never understood the appeal and in any event, I like variety.

I was a big fan of Believe and Wishes, and the concept of World of Color is cool, even if the show is kind of meh.
But that's basically all of what I like of his work.

I feel like with every new project he does, they all just kind of blend into one another. A bit of a one-trick pony.
