I'm sure not much work will be put in. I mean after a few months it's getting trashed so... The work should be put into Paint The Night while it's not running so it can be better when it comes back

I'm sure they will put as much care to it when it finally returns to Disneyland.

I'm thinking the same. How difficult can it be for an organization with all the resources DL has to fix chicken wire and christmas lights?

Maybe they might have Bret Iwan re-record Mickey's lines.

MSEP has the classic stuff. PTN mostly has new stuff. The obvious solution is to combine the two. Retrofit the old MSEP floats with modern technology and incorporate them into PTN. Why trash Pete's Dragon, Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan scenes? PTN needs stuff like that. It's mostly Pixar. The parade feels short anyway. I remember when I first saw it, I was waiting for something classic to show up. But, nope. Pixar, Princesses, Frozen. Yawn. Ditch those weird puppets of Tigger, Lumiere and the Genie, three characters that have absolutely nothing to do with one another and were clearly never intended for the parade.

Real sorry for you guys if this is true...
The "temporary" Season of the Force in Tomorrowland, Star Wars Land, rumored Star Wars fireworks, now this. It's like a hostile takeover.

But it's okay because Disney is a business and these offerings will generate lots and lots of money!!!! They must capitalize on Star Wars and Marvel NOW.

At this point I'm surprised they haven't put in a float featuring nothing but Robert Iger's smiling face

The people demand Star Wars, Frozen and Marvel funny books. There simply isn't enough representation in the theme parks, which generate the most amount of money anyway. You can never make enough money.
There's a brilliance to their using a snotty brat that murders his own family to promote the happiest place on Earth these days.

I should have known, not even MSEP is safe from the wrath of Marvel and Star Wars.
On the bright side, if they are taking the time to add floats, then most likely they ll be workin to get the parade back in tip top shape and maybe get "Main Street" back on the first float while they re at it. As someone who hasn't had the chance to see MSEP in two decades, I'll take it with the Marvel and Star Wars additions over having to fly across the country or never seeing it again.
EDIT: they just better not touch the Baroque Hoedown

MSEP has a long history of live action floats. Pete's Dragon, Return to Oz and Bedknobs & Broomsticks have all had floats here and at WDW. The bedknobs float (themed to the briny sea number) was redressed in SpectroMagic as the Little Mermaid float.
Obviously an Apple Dumpling Gang float should be the next addition.

Light Magic was not retired, it just went on "hiatus" for two years. It was supposed to return in 2000, but then the hiatus was extended.
Light Magic could return from its hiatus at any moment. http://articles.latimes.com/1997/oct/15/news/mn-43006

Makes sense to add a Star Wars float and Marvel (or multiple Marvel) floats to the MSEP.
I would rather have wildly successful and insanely popular Disney owned characters and theme concepts from this current century on display at the big night parade than failed and hokey Disney concepts from the 1970's like Apple Dumpling Gang float, Herbie Goes Bananas float, The Black Hole float, and Donald's Disco Duck Dance Party float.
Okay, maybe the Disco Duck float could be cool.

Cause it was an easy and predictable way to build a parade. Who cares if no one knows who Clarabelle Cow or Marie from Aristocats is, shove 'em out there and make 'em dance for the kids!
