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

MSEP was "supposed" to be temporary and only one summer. We all know what a CF that turned out to be. Not sure TDO knows what temporary is. The examples are legend (Wand, BAH, etc and etc)

In all fairness a lot of WDW didn't know how poorly Spectro was being stored.

Seems like a lot of hassle to bring PTN to MK for a few months..

That's assuming PTN is movable. It has quite a bit of work to be done to it.

Remember when WDW created their own new parade every few years before sticking to the same one for a long time?

 

[Animaniac93-98]

No they're not.

Except when they get "their" news from this site.

I think it is said that most of the floats still exist today or untill a few yaers ago, especially in the Character Hit Parade. Is the float the dwarves are on, the same float that carries Kristoff in the Christmas parade?

Side note, GUMMI BEARS!

I do not get why WDW won't make there own parade tho, they got billions of $$$

Beats me

Thankfully they finally retired the Pooh float.

WDWNew(s)Today is also a Trusted insider...

Not all their stuff is accurate and they do copy their information from this forum.

What I mean not accurate is stuff like them claiming Captain's Grille is going to close for a major overhaul in early 2017, but yet there are no signs of it closing. They broke that News on September 15th of last year. The signs I am talking about is stuff like guests are still able to book 180 day ADRS at Captain's Grille right now as an example.

I say run it across the country at 1.5 mph. Clog up our highways for the sake of entertainment.

Technically didn't Mickey Mania come from Tokyo?

Nope, the other way around. TDL did Mickey Mania in 1995 as a special event parade along with their regular day parade: Fantasy On Parade. During the time TDL was going from TDEP to Fanti no less!

 

[UpAllNight]

What's the cost of a standard parade anyhow? Aren't they just big decorated vehicles with very simple motors?

 

[VJ]

Nope, the other way around.

Ah, I was never sure on that one. Thanks!

Its amazing to see how far some of those character costumes have come!

It's a trusted source of alternative facts.

The bad thing is.. that goodarn castle float is still around...

 

[COProgressFan]

I think it took them $20 million to make paint the night

Which is really a drop in the bucket considering the fact that they run these parades for decades now. The upfront cost is minimal, but the reality is that Disney is constantly looking to reduce labor costs, and if they can cut the nightly labor which comes with putting on a parade, they'll gladly do so, even to the detriment of guests who are constantly paying more but getting less.

I have a fondness for the old Pinocchio design.

Well RDCT is staying longer then the Msep but if Ptn comes back in the Summer and they have RDCT with the Msep music that will be the weirdest thing ever, Unless Msep is gonna stay longer like it did in WDW

Why would the MSEP music in RDCT be weird? It was there before.
