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

OK, so now we're expecting nothing, so I guess when one shows up for the 50th (leaving the MK without a night parade for 5 years) I guess we're supposed to be relieved and thankful?

No we are supposed to be incredibly angry about how WDW's drive to increase margin has deprived guests of a major feature of the MK experience known as the nighttime parade.

And this cut among others is one reason among many im not returning to WDW for the forseeable future

 

[ford91exploder]

So you believe that WDW will never get a night parade ever again despite many reputable insiders say that one is in the plans for the 50th?

There are at least half a dozen plans for new nighttime parades for WDW created by WDI and noted by insiders,

Unfortunately TDO's finance group (where we dont have any insiders) is unlikely to approve any of them because the direct savings in NOT having a nighttime parade which is in the millions of dollars goes straight to WDW's bottom line.

Plus as we've seen not having a nighttime parade allows TDO to take at least an hour off the operating schedule of the MK

In short it's all about the benjamins

And dont forget that Mission Cashgrab is on its way here to deface the ToT

With the GOTG attraction already coming to Epcot, I'd go in and say that Mission Breakout will not be coming to Florida at this rate.

Night parades at WDW are dead and buried, They aint coming back..

Stop being a drama queen.

Has zero to to do with drama, I manage a budget in an american public corporation, And since there has been little effect on attendance without a parade Disney is not going to spend the millions to build and operate a parade in the future. Its just reality in a Wall St world. (Disney's real customer)

From the guy who brought you "Star Wars Land will never be built in Orlando," comes a new set of fevered predictions.

Did you say that in the movie preview man voice because that is totally how I heard it.

The quick answer: $$$$ plus if people are happy with what there currently is, then why go above and beyond?

Or have Walt Disney World finally create a building that protects the electrical parade and parades in better condition like at Disneyland.

I think it's not a matter of If there will be a new parade but What will it be and When... The 50th Ann. is the time frame unless it gets pushed ahead of schedule.

This might be a dumb question but what does DL's building have that WDW's doesn't?

The building is not the problem. WDW has fine parade storage buildings.

They just need to add A/C to the storage building, the Florida heat doesn't do good on that type of Tech. Also they have tons of space on the resort to build a float maintenance building..
