I Saw the tweet a few days ago(I didn't post it because I couldn't make it out either) The tweet said they were having dinner at the DL Hotel when they saw this. I'm thinking it can't be photoshoped. However,I wonder how late their dinner was since this had to be after park close.

I've been to DLP when the park closes early. They sometimes don't have late hours.. closing at 7 or 8 pm and the French and Italians eat dinner LATE...

Meh, I'm sure it's easier to negotiate parades between parks that Disney has complete ownership or near complete ownership like they soon will with DLP.

My God why must you guys persist! The parade is in Anaheim! Not in Orlando and def not in Paris. Why are people so desperate for this parade to leave Disneyland?

Well @marni1971 would likely know if anything at night was happening in Paris and nothing has been said. So that subject needs to close, and really this thread.

Not that what I may or may not hear is gospel though.

Given DLP has a new 25th castle show and given the ops issues Dreams! created in the summer for the 20th that alone makes me doubt any night parade in Paris. Let alone the technical and logistical issues of taking it off DL and shipping it.

Wouldn't this also require wiring to be reconfigured to European standards? I can't see them doing that.

Can you dish on those new castle shows or are your lips sealed?

As for that Paris pic, assuming its real, it Does look a little bit like the drum float... but not totally PTNs IMO. I'd say Fantillusion would be the more believable option except there is no drum in the parade. Maybe Paris has WDWs original MSEP floats and upgraded them hahaha.

If ya'all wanna see 'Paint The Night' so badly, perhaps it is time to seriously consider making the trek out to 'Walt's Park' located in sunny, Southern California.

Disneyland is a wonderful experience very different from the complicated aspects of a visit to Orlando's 'World', and PTN is indeed impressive to see in person.
Video does NOT capture the full intensity of the units' colored lights and the street performers are great to view up close.

Take my advice and skip yet another booking to WDW and do something different - make the trip out to California instead and savor the Parade, and Disneyland for yourself.
It is well worth the effort and I have a feeling you will want to revisit again soon!

While WDW is my home park and I visit probably 25-30 days a year or so I have to agree. Honestly DLR blows WDW away in so many aspects from better attractions to better food. Carsland and World of Color are alone worth a trip. Plus walking from park to park cannot be beat. If only Disneyland had a World showcase!

Would help to know when it's coming back to book a trip lol. I don't know when DL plans to break this news.

PTN is nice and all but I personally wouldn't schedule a trip to DLR around if it's performing or not but to each their own. I just can't wait to get back to DLR sometime soon! There is something special about the place and it's really hard to describe what it is. It just has "it".

I excellent time to visit this year would be in September.
By that time, not only will 'Paint The Night' be back in action but the new edition of Disneyland's ' Fantasmic!!' should also be showing in the Park.

If you visit in early September, crowds are a little lighter since the Halloween Parties typically don't begin until later in the month.
'Haunted Mansion Holiday' ( the 'Nightmare Before X-mas overlay ) typically opens the second Friday of the month which brings in large crowds of locals though....so just be prepared for that.

If you do decide to visit later in the month however, you may get to experience the newly re-opened Disneyland Railroad route and refreshed Rivers of America.
Last I heard, that was a possible opening time.
The new river front scenery looks to be a nice plussing.

Even tho i live 23 miles from Disneyland i still like Walt Disney world better, There is something about it that i can't put my finger on...

I can relate.

I live on the East Coast and WDW used to be my 'home' Resort.
I'm a huge EPCOT Center fan, and adored that Park back when it was in its glory in the 80s when I lived in Florida.
What a place!
In later years I moved North, but would still take trips down to Orlando to visit the Parks in the 90s and early 2000s.
It became yearly in the early 2000s, but then I stopped cold in January of 2013.
The experience was not what it once was.

Over the years I've seen too much chipped away with 'replacements' that are inferior to what came before, and too much focus on making a quick buck when the focus used to be more about wowing the Guest.
Add into the mix my dislike of how that property has been managed over the last decade or so, and the FP+ restraints.
WDW lost me once I headed West and experienced Disneyland on my own for the first time in 2007.

Disneyland 'spoiled' me rotten....talk about rolling out the red carpet!
Instead of being made to feel like a 'cog in the wheel' at WDW, being 'processed' with thousands of other Guests, at DLR I was 'embraced' like a personal friend of Walt's.
The Cast, and the settings within the Park itself, made a huge difference and made it intimate and exciting all at once.
The differences were stunning...such a vast improvement in my eyes.

I was immediately wowed by this 'tiny little Park' in the middle of Anaheim and now visit yearly.
I have not been back to WDW since, but still care about the property and its future.
Disneyland is my 'home' now....until WDW can prove to me that the time has come to return.

I will admit I do look forward to that return in some aspects, but I have the patience of a rock.
