I think the current Drum Float has been running since 77.

Also what is up with the lights being added near the Small World section? It kind of ruins the atmosphere.

Tell that to the idiots sitting in their offices across from Disney Springs
While I find it hilarious DL gets MSEP again, I can't help but be jealous they've got a night parade while the Magic Kingdom (the world's most visited park) has none

I watched the Disney Parks stream and felt a wave of nostalgia as soon as it began. However, having seen it a million times over the years, the nostalgia was soon replaced by tedium. The parade seemed to be moving at a snails pace and many of the best floats were missing. What happened to the King Lion playing the calliope? I'm also not a big fan of the "club remix" version of the soundtrack they're using these days.
Just bring Paint the Night back please.

the Dumbo's Circus floats retired in ;09 when the Blue Fairy Float also retired. the Circus floats however must have retired unexpectedly:

Yes, you could watch Titanic in the amount of time it takes for the parade to roll by.

I just watched the video the Parks blog did. After seeing Dreamlights in person earlier this year, it looks even older and smaller, but that Bicentennial float is perfect. Disney electrical parades aren't the same without that bit of corny, unapologetic Americana.

We already have PTN as the successor to MSEP and they dumped it to DCA and it sits in a warehouse down the street. If any park needs Dreamlights it’s the MK in WDW but we all know they’d let it rot outside.

The music used for MSEP these days is just reused from Dreamlights with a few differences.

Weird considering they actually made new music for the Dumbo section. The Dumbo section no longer being used st the parade makes MSEP feel shorter than excepted. Not to mention the Pinocchio section missing one float.

you should check out videos of the parade in Paris from Sumer '98 when they got Dwarf Mine & Pleasure Island from Disneyland. Every night the parade ran up until it's Spring ;03 end in Paris there was always something missing due to lack of a proper budget. most nights the Alice Section would go out with only 2 mushrooms, neither of which were Alice's you NEVER saw that here in the states unless her mushroom got pulled at step-off at which point it was too late to hold the other 2 back.

I think the real problem isnt dragging out MSEP it’s that the condition of the parade is just sad. No Blue Fairy, no Dumbo Circus, only 1 Pinnochio float and a revisionist music track. They need to rebuild those sections or just retire it and put it in a museum.

Yeah the Paris version looked very empty and the floats were out of order. At least Donald or Pluto could be seen at the Drum float. Also Elliot looked like he got hit by a shovel.
