WDW: The Outdated Kingdom.
There's a musical version?
That's exactly what I was referring to; the cancellation of the Electrical Parade and shipping it to Disneyland, where they already have a brand new dedicated night parade (PTN) and currently three other parades that were designed to be performed at night with onboard lighting (Soundsational, Halloween parade, Christmas parade).
As for being "temporary", even if its gone from Magic Kingdom for just one calendar year, the question is still... why?
Just checked the online calendar for the week after MSEP's departure and MK's hours were upped to 12:00 midnight for the 12th and 15th. I'm a little surprised since MSEP is gone by then and figured they would have kept the 10:00 close.
The daily schedule isn't up yet. Anyone know if anything is playing later in the evening?
Side note: Elena's Royal Welcome is planned for 10/1 but nothing that screams 45th, anything planned?????
The 40th castle show was pretty disappointing anyway.They are not celebrating the 45th outside of merch. There may be a castle moment but it won't be on the schedule this far out, if at all.
because Chapek wanted to cut costs here and for the budget to go to Rivers of Light instead, therefor saving money by not running MSEP and sending back to Disneyland at Disneylands expense, or so the rumor goes according to a miceage article.
The "nightly parade" is for party Guests only. Let's not latch onto this very thin technicality since a majority of MK guests won't get to experience them![]()
such asJust in case anyone was still thinking it, I recently got confirmation Paint The Night will NOT be coming to WDW. I was told that it was talked about, but decided against due to a number of factors.

I honestly don't know too much more. I believe one of the factors was the size of some of the PTN floats though. And in part Disneyland's reluctance to give it up.Don't leave use hanging.

Because they think we won't care.Thank you for the follow up information! It's always nice to hear things from folks who would know something.
That's not the first time we've heard about the size restrictions along Magic Kingdom's parade route. It's just so ironic that ride-packed little Disneyland can host bigger parades in its 1955 footprint than sprawling Magic Kingdom with fewer rides and it's "blessing of size" can.
What's most shocking is that the Miceage reports seem to be more accurate by the day; Disneyland is going to great expense to keep a night parade going this winter until both PTN and Fantasmic! can come back from their big refurbishments in June, 2017.
And through at least calendar year 2017 Magic Kingdom management is planning to do... Nothing. The question remains, why???
Doesn't matter if Mickey Mouse himself said it, there are some who will go to their grave believing PTN is coming to WDW![]()
I think the big question is just why exactly did Disneyland want MSEP back? I understand PTN will be down, but they're used to not having a night parade. I have to wonder if this is the actual last hurrah for the parade for public viewing, with plans to preserve it for historical purposes somewhere after that.Thank you for the follow up information!
