Why have a nighttime parade when you can just have more uncharge parties during the busy month of December instead? It's incredible that anyone could be surprised or shocked that we still have no nighttime parade.
Hey! I been here since 2000 and have always thought that WDW was the better resort. Especially during DL's long parade drought and the fact that POD was canned in favor of a street party while TDO did CADCT ALONG with MISI. the fact that TDO now has fiascos in both AK and MK now IS NOT GOOD and is unsettling to me!
Sadly, the WDW of 2000 is not the WDW of 2017.

Let alone for a very long time
I certainly am not a Disney apologist and I think my posts here back that up. All I was doing was speculating in regards to they spent a lot of money on this thing for a six month run, and knowing how cheap WDW is, I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to get it back. It has nothing to do with the fact that I'm denying WDW left people with no parade - that part is pretty self-explanatory.
The reality is Disney often says one thing and does another. As I said above, how many times has this parade "glowed away" before? Just because Disney says one thing doesn't mean they won't do another. In no way do I think WDW is perfect as you suggest. I was merely speculating that with the cost invested, from a business sense junking the thing doesn't make good financial acumen. It was just a hypothesis, to which I have no evidence as stated above. Isn't that what discussion forums are for, to discuss?
Throw in another season of hard-ticket events and people will be thankful for just being able to get into the MK after 7PM without having to pay extra, never mind the expectations of a parade and fireworks.
See that, it's called setting low expectations. The only thing TDO has excelled at over the past

They could do an upcharge desert party where you get to watch a live stream on the Electrical Parade from DL.

Where is this from?
Name restored, pixie trails still on float. Is that a snowbank to the right of the train? Haha.

TDO was to lazy to change the float's name

I believe that these LED fixtures have always had a show program for the Move it, Shake it parade... though I don't know if they punch it every time, or only when natural light conditions are at a certain level (it looks rather overcast in your photo).

When are they closing the hub? And we know for sure they won't able to run parades? Not that it matters since several on here are very confident PTN, regardless which version, is not coming to WDW. Paris could take it but that's probably unlikely.
Because they don't just "give" a parade from non US parks.
Note how the HKDL parade route skirts the edge of the north east side of the hub. The part to be affected the least.

I was reading this article from Touringplans.com titled "Six Reasons We'll Never Forget The Year 2016 for Disney and Universal". Main Street Electrical Parade is on the Number 2 rank. The reason is because people are still waiting for Main Street Electrical Parade after it left!
