At Walt Disney World would you rather have the Main Street electrical parade or Paint The Night from Disneyland?
I agree, I think Pixar had the most representation in Paint The Night (Especially the Cars section). However I really loved how Pixar actually fits along with Dreamlights since only the Toy Story unit is present and formerly A Bug's Life. While the rest is centered on classic,popular, and past Disney films and would sometimes add a new unit every few years. Dreamlights is also my favorite version of the It's A Small World finale with a cavalcade of Disney characters. Dreamlights is currently would I consider a "Tough Act To Follow" by Disney nighttime parade standards. While I enjoyed Paint The Night, I still find Dreamlights and Spectromagic to be one of the best nighttime Disney parades. Which makes me curious on what the next nighttime parade would be for WDW's 50th Anniversary in a couple years from now. Spectromagic even debuted as part of WDW's 20th in 1991. Which makes me hope the next nighttime parade for it's 50th can be extra special and avoid the approach Paint The Night did.Paint the Night has too much Pixar and the soundtrack is forgettable. If Magic Kingdom gets a new nighttime parade I hope it will be something along the lines of Dreamlights
If I ever saw Dreamlights at Tokyo Disneyland during the Christmas season or during it's regular format. I think my draw would drop, I remember feeling very overwhelmed when I first discovered this parade on the official Tokyo Disneyland website back in 2007 or 2008.Electrical Parade should have been retired more than a decade ago. It's old and tired imo. Paint the Night is a modern parade.
That being said I'm going off the board and saying something new but similar to Tokyo's Dreamlights. That is by far the best nighttime parade there is. Absolutely spectacular in person.
What about Spectromagic?Neither! To be honest, I would rather have no nighttime parade. MSEP is a complete joke!
Maybe Spectromagic 2.0I have really liked all the night parades and I think Paint the Night is the best of the bunch. So many improvements and things Disney had to learn to make this parade what it is. But I do not want it to come to Disney World. I would like WDW to get its own new night parade.
Same goes for Spectromagic which fits perfectly at WDW. I wonder what the next nightime parade at WDW would be in the future?It seems like a trend for Disney World to get Disneyland's leftovers. It makes sense in a way since they can show the parade to a new audience. I enjoy PTN, it's my new favorite parade, however it just won't be the same for me if it did go to WDW. It just fits Disneyland better, and it's part of a trip and a year that I will never forget, and it was a nice "welcome back" to Disneyland.
