Well yes and no. HKDL does have a version, but how many people are going from Japan to HKDL when they have a much superior park on their home country? I wouldn't discount it just because of that. I don't think it's happening because it would require the WDW management to make a competent decision and they've clearly shown that isn't possible.

Q4. Are you replacing Main Street Electrical Parade with anything?

We continue to offer compelling nighttime entertainment, and are constantly adjusting our offerings.
This just says it all. What kind of reponse is, well we are constantly adjusting our offerings, so we may have a parade, we may not.

Remember over in the Muppets thread when so many people were commenting about "finally, some new entertainment that doesn't remove something else"? Yeah, that was pretty funny.

Now, I'm not saying the lack of a night parade is directly due to the costs of the Muppets, it can't be even close. But it sure is amazing how they can always find a way to surpass new levels of madness with the constant cost cutting.

That is very true, although I just don't see how the reason MSEP is leaving is cost cutting. This all seems extremely abrupt and like Disney has something planned. What? I don't know, when they first made the announcement I figured nothing would be replacing it, but now after talking on here it doesn't make sense that they'd just randomly end MSEP. Especially since PTN is staying in DL, it would be one thing if PTN would be on its way to MK September 6th, but its not. And why October 9th? Lol

they'd probably even MORE minblown by the refurb Dreamlights got last year. The new version of the Peter Pan Ship, O...M...G it is STUNNING and puts the 31 year old version currently in Florida to shame.

Don't forget the Small World finale where the characters are dressed up in new outfits.

But they shipped the Jubilation floats in the US. and Fantillusion in Paris. It is Still a possibility, Since the Tokyo Locals are getting tired of Dreamlights. and they wanted a new parade.

If Dreamlights was amazing enough, then I wonder what the next electrical parade at Tokyo would be in the future?

I personally would not want Fantillusion at WDW unless it has a major overhaul.

From what I understand, Fantillusion was originally 31 floats, it ran for 6 years at TDL, once it was done the floats sat out in the "harsh" conditions of Tokyo, DLP bought the 15 of the 31 floats, but only 13 of them were actually used. The floats which had already been damaged due to weather conditions, where then damaged while in transit from TDL to DLP. The floats were completely refurbished. The remaining floats not purchased by DLP were thought to be destroyed. Fantilusion went dark in 2012 and hasn't returned since, I don't know what the current status of the floats are.

Here's the original version of Fantillusion where it was much longer than it's current location at Paris.

Out of curiosity, whatever happened to WDW's version of the MSEP? Was their version of the parade shipped somewhere or destroyed?
Click to expand...
Its was shipped in hongkong disneyland, it was an original plan to have a nighttime parade in HKDL before PTN was even in the cards. and they scrapped the whole plan and destroyed the float. Instead they made 2 PTN (1 for HK and 1 for Anaheim).
