Paint the night is not moving to Disney World. Stop bumping this.

Seriously?! You would actually go so far as to cancel your trip just because you would be missing out on the parades? Look, this whole parade situation is inexcusable, but you do realize you would be missing out on a whole lot more by not going at all?

Nah not really. I know we will have a good time. But 200 days ago I was so excited about all the stuff I was going to get to see either again or the for the first time. Now, there's no Rivers of Light, no MSEP, the railroad is under refurb when I'm going, and now possibly no FoF. I'm just frustrated with Disney and their consistent ability to not get their act together. I had to decide I wanted pizza 184 days out, but 54 days before I'm supposed to leave, there might not be a parade.

Granted, this just rumor and hopefully it stays that way since the lights on FOF look great already!

I'm not going to lie, if my vacation wasn't paid in full (tickets and DVC Rental) I would cancel. When I booked there was still MSEP and FoF. Now you're saying there is a chance there won't be either at MK? This is just getting sad. It really makes me angry because the parades are one of the things that really sets Disney apart from its competitors. They could easily leave the party floodlights up and floodlight this parade instead of taking it down and adding lights. On top of that, if they add lights, I'd imagine it wouldn't run in the daytime if it's been specially retrofitted for night performances.

I actually would cancel because Disney has significantly reduced the value between the time you paid and the actual vacation and if you went through Davids there is a refund policy in place

This is the thing that angers me most about Disney they expect us to plan our meals 6 months and our rides 3 months out yet they can cancel stuff at a drop of a hat with no recompense to the guest

If the new drum float effects (if there are any) look anything like the boat effects, I'll be beyond happy. That looks so cool and such a welcome update.

And the inclusion of the original Disneyland D's on the train and flag floats instead of the Mickey heads.

We went through DVC Rental Store, so there is a prcess for cancelling, but we aren't going to do that. My parents are going with us so it's a family trip and we'll have a good time. I'm just irritable and grumpy with Disney right now. I know once we get there we'll have a good time, but my parents haven't been in years so they remember the "old" Disney and I don't want this trip to be a letdown for them.

They are in for a big surprise.

It's going to feel a bit weird seeing the Drum float as the first float spotted in the parade.

Any idea why they are not using the Tink float?

Likely because it wasn't part of the original MSEP. Or at least it wasn't the way WDW used it. They want to play off nostalgia here.

Are they getting the original soundtrack back?

 

[TTA94]

I wish we would get some good news soon for MK, like FOF at night. I know it won't be a light parade lol.

 

[brb1006]

So far no

And good for Tokyo. I thought we already knew the updates they were receiving? Tokyo is exactly how WDW should be run. Sadly, it's not. Can't wait to eventually visit Japan and Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea.

Why is this thread still going? Literally nothing to report or discuss regarding WDW here.

I guess that's why it's still going.

Here's two promotional images from the Disneyland website for the homecoming engagement of the MSEP. As far as I know these images are brand-new and haven't been used before. The rest of the images on the site are of Magic Kingdom's run of the parade

Love the eyes given for the turtle. Hoping this will be shown in the a few weeks.
