OkayIt still has Fantillusion but literally has no time to show it during the peak summer season.

It doesn't work like that for numerous reasons!They could use some of that money for smarter decisions TDO to be able to find a way to returb it. Then again I'm not an expert when it comes to stuff like that just my thoughts.
Yep. Since Dreams premiered. Or rather the end of that first season.Okayfrom what I read it hasn't ran since 2012?
That's what my point was, Disney didn't put any extra money into the parks (apart from Frozen Summer Fun, A Frozen Holiday Wish, ect) but that money most likely wouldn't have gone towards Spectros refurb.It doesn't work like that for numerous reasons!
They did run Fantillusion in 2012 together with Dreams. However it was very difficult to have both during summer times because late sunsets during the summer months. Fantillusion could only start at 10:25 pm with Dreams at 11 pm which was a nightmare for crowd control people.Yep. Since Dreams premiered.
That I can't answer.@marni1971 hypothetically speaking this new parade design would be the one originally slated for the 50th?
OkayThat I can't answer.
Aye. I amended my post. I myself saw both in July 2012. I've posted recently elsewhere the daylight issues they had.They did run Fantillusion in 2012 together with Dreams...
I can't say. Though the rest of the year has Halloween and Christmas parades for those who pay extra to try to deflect the flack.OkayI understand. One last thing, sorry for the millions of questions, if this is to come to fruition do you think an announcement will be coming soon?

Main Street Electrical Parade heads to Disneyland Park for a limited engagement
The “spectacular festival pageant of nighttime magic and imagination,” the Main Street Electrical Parade, will be ending its historic run at Magic Kingdom Park and returning to Disneyland Park for a special, limited engagement.
Cast Members and Guests are encouraged to come out to enjoy the “thousands of sparkling lights and electro-synthemagnetic musical sounds” one more time before the final performance on Oct. 9. Guests can also check out some of the park’s newest offerings like “Mickey’s Royal Friendship Faire” and, starting Aug. 12, “Princess Elena Royal Welcome.”
After a delightful six years, we bid the Main Street Electrical Parade a fond farewell and look forward to the memories it will create for Disneyland Guests early next year.
Q1. Why is the Main Street Electrical Parade closing?

Q2. When will the parade be returning to Disneyland?
This limited engagement will begin early next year. We will share more on timing at a later date.
Q3. Is it going away forever/will the parade ever come back?
Right now, we’re looking forward to the memories the Main Street Electrical Parade will create for Disneyland Guests and have nothing more to share.
Q4. Are you replacing Main Street Electrical Parade with anything?
We continue to offer compelling nighttime entertainment, and are constantly adjusting our offerings.
Q5. Will “Paint the Night” from Disneyland Resort be coming in its place?
At this time, there are no plans to bring “Paint the Night” to Walt Disney World Resort. We look forward to sharing more about the future of “Paint the Night” soon.

Main Street Electrical Parade came to Florida in 2010 from the Disneyland Resort, so with this move, it’s returning for a special, limited engagement.

It’s just not part of our plans at this time. We’re looking forward to the memories the Main Street Electrical Parade will create for Disneyland Guests.
Q8. When will DisneyWorld.com / My Disney Experience / OneSource reflect this change?
We are in the process of updating our online calendars.
Q9. What about Guests who may have already booked the Tony’s Town Square lunch package?
We will be contacting Guests who have booked the Tony’s Town Square lunch package and working with them for alternate arrangements.
Paint the Night will return to HKDL November 1st according to their website.Of course, not one smart little twinkly fanboi has noticed that PtN is also off at HKDL as of 9/4 with no set return date either. So, chew on that.
This whole thing is a mess. Its like a soap opera, but instead of Days of Our Lives and Who shot J.R., we are living though Nights of Electric Parades and Who Moved PTN.Yep. Since Dreams premiered. Or rather the end of that first season.
AKs fall entertainment has yet to be announced/determined. And HS will have SW fireworks as well as FantasmicI guess October is not looking like a good time to be at Walt Disney World.
MK: No nighttime main street electrical parade
AK: No jungle book or rivers of light nighttime show
HS: Fantastmic reduced shows to 1
EP: Illuminations
Kind of feel that the are pulling a lot of things away with no replacements in sight. And just seem to add more and more hard ticket halloween nights. Don't get me wrong the halloween nights are great but not going to pay for it time and time again when I already have the likes of 14 day pass. For a UK visitors this is a bit of a blow as October is common time for vacationing.![]()
It is currently being rewritten.Main Street Electrical Parade is still showing on the online calender for the Magic Kingdom..
