No Paint the Night during Festival of Holidays

[GiveMeTheMusic]

Disney confirmed today that Paint the Night's last 2018 performance will be November 7 to accommodate Festival of Holidays. That means Viva Navidad will be DCA's only parade during the holiday season, and World of Color will not be playing either. Things are going great!

Very disappointing. Night entertainment is going to be sparse.

I hate to say I told you, but...

Doesn't mean that PtN won't be back in spring and be seasonal. So yes you mentioned it going dark during the holidays, but that was the plan anyways. It just means they are sticking to their original plan. So no night time entertainment except fireworks.

I never stated that it wouldn’t come back. Although nothing is outside the realm of possibilities with Disney. Just stated that it would be going down for the holidays.

Yep, you wanna cookie?

Let the rumors begin of PTN going to WDW for their surprise “Limited Time Magic” entertainment experiences poping up in 2019.

As long as it’s not from Jack-Jack Cookie Num Nums...

That's a hard no.

Probably very hard to run a parade through there with all the food booths set up so completely understand...unfortunately, the loss of WOC is the dagger for the holiday season at DCA. You would think they could find something to do...launch some fireworks and add some projections on the Pixar Fun with Pals wheel thingy and use the lighting on the Incredicoaster from previous shows. But no.

That would require a budget and a creative team, so that's a no.

On a side note though, remember LuminAria?

Once they realized WOC wouldn't be done for the holidays, they should have nixed the festival this year instead of the parade. But why give up a revenue producer and just give folks what they paid for with their admission?

I think you're blowing a one-sentence blurb way out of proportion. It won't be like the Limited Time Magic event.

Now you're thinkin' like a Disney executive!

I'd pick night rides on the coaster over WoC anytime.

Love the music, the show and mass of smoke...not so much.

Nothing is more magical than second hand smoke!

@GiveMeTheMusic Is PTN ending strictly because of Festival of Holidays or is there other reasons behind it such as budget cuts that seems to be taking place here and there?
