I'm late to the party but yes, finally Main Street Electrical Parade is leaving. As much as I hate all the flashing lights in Paint the Night parade, it is a catchy song. However, I don't see it confirm coming to WDW.
I know Spectro is gone, finite, Disney graveyard. But I would love to see an updated version of something like Spectro. WDW is better than Disneyland's day parade though.

It doesn't work like that for numerous reasons!
Yep. Since Dreams premiered. Or rather the end of that first season.Okay

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.

@marni1971 hypothetically speaking this new parade design would be the one originally slated for the 50th?

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.
After 2012 some floats of Fantillusion have been dismanteled and used for other purposes such as the Halloween and Christmas Parades. So I'm not sure how many floats from Fantillusion still exist now.
That I can't answer.

Okay
I 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?
Aye. I amended my post. I myself saw both in July 2012. I've posted recently elsewhere the daylight issues they had.
Infact my video I recently linked to of the parade from that year shows the lack of darkness on a hot, cloudless evening:

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.Okay

Well, what do you know? Those front liners at DL actually had SOME of the facts right.
As to what will happen beyond the holidays, it is all sort of laughable. Is DLR going to keep two night parades and show them seasonally? Or are they just going to gauge reaction in the fanbase after showing a much more modern parade and returning a relic? After all, DL hasn't announced its new Star Wars pyro show and this could be a way of going for the nostalgia crowd that won't like a permanent season of the farce.
Of course, that still says nothing about moving PtN to the swamps and I have a hard time believing TDA would just let it go. And MK has no plans for a new night parade at this time that I am aware of. 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.
And DLP has a big 25th coming next year too ...
But I love the post I quoted below because it showcases, yet again, how Disney loves to lie and manipulate its Guests and Cast. PR spin. This is what Dr. Blondie makes her big bucks for. Writing BS like this that then gets passed on to Legal and then goes out because that is how Walt would have done it!
And no way do you start seeing the Halloween Parade or Christmas Parade for free at the MK. Nope. You just pay more and get less because that is what Disney is all about.
Finally, look at the "at this time" wording on this and the DPB. That's the same BS they used when I had fanbois calling to TDO and TDA and Burbank about the Guradians Tower makeover. That phrase allows them to lie with impunity about their impending plans.

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.
They just ended with a season finale and what a cliff hanger!!!!

I 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 they 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 visitor this is a bit of a blow as October is common time for vacationing.

Main Street Electrical Parade is still showing on the online calender for the Magic Kingdom. For those who have booked trips for late October & November, this is therefore only 2-3 months notice and today is the 60 day mark for those arriving on the 9th October. I would be quite angry at Disney if we have booked a year ago (as they encourage UK guests to do with the special offers) and then we find out only two months before our trip that they have taken away a key piece of the park entertainment, with no replacement.
Fortunately I arrive late September so I am only frustrated at the lack of information around Star Wars fireworks and Animal Kingdom nighttime shows.

Except they have only announced DAK entertainment to Sept 4th and Star Wars fireworks to Sept 24th. With 44 days until I arrive I expect an accurate calender of the major show times to be available. The shows that happen many times a day (Indiana Jones, Lion King etc) I don't need to know this early but the night time stuff is important!
