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

And the parade was so close to getting a refurb.

So close.

So close.

which made it even more painful

DL may not let WDW take PTN but maybe Soundsational lol. Those floats have onboard lighting! Totally kidding, though I probably should be careful what I say... I actually think I read somewhere that Soundsational might be axed soon.

Where did you see that

 

[TTA94]

A reliable source told me that the Electrical Parade would be returning early next year, and would likely only play for a few weeks/months as a final last hurrah before being put out of its misery. Don't expect to see it again after it glows away from DL

The costumes for Paint the Night need some quality TLC, to put it gently. There's only so much repair that can be done on the fly with gaffer tape, and they reached that limit long ago. The upcoming downtime will give them some time to fix the electrical problems in a meaningful way, and make them more reliable longterm. I'm not sure where MiceAge came up with the injury/choreography/props idea, but that doesn't seem to be a major factor

As for Soundsational, you might want to get your final viewings in before Christmas kicks off this year...

I agree. These entertainment changes that DL is doing recently is crazy!

So you will be without a night parade, and we will be without a day parade. sumthins up.

I wonder if they might go back to the type of parade similar to Flights Of Fantasy?

Hong kongs parade is currently flight of fantasy

Yeah but I was referring to the parade of the same name from 1983 back when New Fantasyland was completed. The Disneyland version is much different compared to the one in Hong Kong.

So does Soundsational leaving have something to do with MSEP coming? Maybe using parts of Soundsational to fix MSEP?

Soundsational is not leaving. It may go on a three month break after Christmas. That has not yet been decided.

Will it be 1 float... a green dumpster with some lights?

castle float again.

After seeing that WDW did to Spectromagic and the Electrical Parade I don't think their going to send them their brand new high Tec set of parade units unless they don't plan on bringing back Paint the Night.

Yep the Stock Price is up 'That is all' in best TANNOY voice

This is that one float WDW refuses to retire.

Wonder what it cost? they probably refuse to retire it because the beancounters are still depreciating it for tax purposes...

I'm just surprised and Kind of glad it didn't appear in Festival of Fantasy.

 

[brb1006]

Only 3/4 more weeks left until it finally leaves WDW.
