I guess it's all about perspective. I am a "new" Disney lover. While I've been 5 times, most were when I was younger than 18. I've been twice as an adult (2015,2016) and I just saw MSEP for the first time THIS YEAR. I loved it. It's kind of funny to hear how it's in horrible shape and read all the people who think it'd be great to see it gone . As someone who hasn't seen it a bunch of times, I thought it was an excellent parade. True, I haven't seen any of the other parades, but it certainly didn't seem atrocious/falling apart in any manner when I saw it.
With that said, I can't say I will heart broken that it will be gone because I've only seen it once. I DO think that it would be unfortunate for there to be NO nighttime parade, but I do agree that they will remedy that in some way be it with the holiday parties, or a later showing of FoF.
I am anxious to see what's coming down the line and hope that something is lined up for when I am there in April next year.
