I'm surprised it only lasted 6 years in TDL/OLC then went back to the EP idea, now with no end in sight I've always thought FANTI was a step up from Spectro and DL should have followed in 1997 instead of LM.

I read an article that Spectro was the "bridge" between the old of MSEP and the new of Fantillusion. Of course, now PTN/DreamLights are the standard by which things are judged. Personally, I like DreamLights and Fantillusion more than PTN.

Exactly. From the moment this thread started, that "PTN Is Coming To WDW!" rumor smelled of wishful thinking dreamed up by some entry-level CM's musing in a WDW break room one night.

But then there was a seven step grieving process many WDW CM's needed to go through before they finally realized that TDO just wasn't that into them and had no intention of debuting a new night parade anytime soon. Maybe for the 50th?

I think most of those WDW CM's are only at the third phase of that seven step process, the bargaining phase. http://www.recover-from-grief.com/7-stages-of-grief.html

But again, and just in case new people stumble onto this thread and don't want to read back to get the scoop - WDW will be without a light parade indefinitely. No existing parades (Paint the Night, Dreamlights, Fantillusion, WDW's original MSEP) will be shipped to it to fill the MSEP void. WDW's next light parade will be a new one, and that design is awaiting funding. That funding could come next year, or it could come in 2021. It seems likely that FOF will start running after dark with route lighting (like Boo to You) in 2017.

Just wait until next summer when Paint The Night returns from its refurbishment to play off Disneyland's new Fantasmic! 2.0 show. I think the seven step grieving process will begin again for some folks. :eek:

Maybe for a display case? Lol I'm just kidding, but I just don't see MK getting PTN. And even if they are theres no reason they wouldn't announce it with all the backlash regarding MSEP going away with no replacement

Well, Disneyland waited 19 years after The Main Street Electrical Parade closed to announce a new parade. (besides the really horrible one that came after the MSEP for a few months)
