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

This is probably a pure budget cut.

Or maybe they just chose to put a falling apart 44 year old parade out of its misery?

I know its not the same as a true night time parade, but I would love to see Festival of Fantasy at night. If Magic Kingdom could upgrade their parade lighting like the other castle parks, it would look amazing!

Was planning to be in MK on the night of 10/9.

Then you can still see it on its last night.

Disney Parks Blog is confirming via replies to comments that "there are no plans" for Paint the Night coming to Florida "at this time".

I can't see them not having a nighttime parade at MK until January.

I could see that as an interim solution but not permanent like DL had with Soundsational before PTN.

This is a semi joking post/semi serious post:

no offense to you guys but you don't deserve MSEP. Y'alls management trashed the floats and y'all trash talk it. *insert sassy emoji*

 

[brb1006]

Wow... I can't believe MSEP is FINALLY ending at MK!!

That would had been the perfect time to bring back Spectromagic after it's 5 years hiatus. But well you know

 

[brb1006]

A lot of us do. A lot of us don't. That being said Its welcomed here in california <3

Alot of mixed reactions from the WDW and Disneyland community tonight.

It was just being refurbed. One light bulb at a time (Sarcasm)

 

[brb1006]

wow...that's strange...unless they update the technology to make it modern...then it could be cool...but in its form currently...eww

I'm sure Disneyland will find a way to make it fresh again.

 

[brb1006]

PLEASE LET THIS BE TRUE. Dreamlights is miles better than PTN, and keeps the same music as MSEP which I love.

Thats because the current MSEP music is from Dreamlights.

It also makes no sense that the Magic Kingdom is going to have no nighttime parade just in time for it's 45th anniversary.

 

[WDWGuide]

Sounds like it's going forever.

MSEP has been announced as going away forever at MK and DL/DCA at least a couple of times, and somehow it keeps popping back up.

Glad they didn't try to run this thing up to the 50th as it would've been a dumpster fire by then. The question is do they do with a completely new parade next year or borrow one til the 50th when I'm assuming they'll get a new parade/fireworks show.

 

[brb1006]

The official internal message is that Paint the Night will not be heading to WDW.

Guess we will have to wait until the 50th for a brand spanking new electrical parade.

I guess FoF will run nightly until the 50th? Or they're gonna borrow a parade from somewhere? I don't really know but I don't see TDO building a new parade now and then another one for the 50th.

I've had people I'd assume would know something actually asking me if I know anything. They've heard nothing. Above or below the radar. I told them what I said here. As of last weekend it wasn't happening.

If it does, it's a change of plan and a very much recent rushed decision.

Since it looks like it's really happening now, any idea what could have been the catalyst for what is seeming like a very spur of the moment decision?

Agreed I don't see that happening either but hopefully they borrow a parade instead of running FOF more.
