Agree on both here. I am hoping in a world of moderating view points - and I prefer to stay out of politics - at least these 2 non egregious elements can stay. But I agree the opening, with its nods to the MSEP is REALLY important to stay, especially with this being a anniversary offering.
Disney says Anna and Elsa will rejoin the parade on the fan-favorite float inspired by Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “Frozen”:
The “Paint the Night” parade features innovative floats, vibrant costumes, incredible special effects, unforgettable music and energetic performances. Plus, Anna and Elsa will rejoin the parade on the fan-favorite float inspired by Disney Animation’s “Frozen” when it makes its return to Main Street, U.S.A., for the first time since its initial run.

That’s what I was wondering. Was that made up fan rumors?

I hope it’s in addition to Incredibles and not replacing Incredibles (not that I care deeply about Incredibles but PTN is the kind of parade that should get longer over time).
Also means no Christmas Garland next year.

Depends on whether or not they stop PTN for the holiday season and just run Christmas Fantasy to save a buck.
PTN ran in DL Park all 60th, than Christmas 2016. I believe only WJ is Seasonal according to the 70th articles.

They weren't quite in "gotta cut as much as we can get away with" mode at that point.
They certainly could run PTN during Christmas, and as you said, there's precedent. But I could also see greed/laziness winning out this time around.
AT LEAST Run through Halloween!!!! PTN Does not need to Close for 2025 before Labor Day just because Halloween Screams wants to Start!!!!!

Here's hoping!
Also, potentially controversial opinion, both Halloween Screams and Believe in Holiday Magic (especially) are incredibly dated and need to be retired. It would honestly be much better if Wondrous Journeys supplanted both of those shows this year and new fireworks shows replaced each of the holiday shows next year.
Fine with me if WJ overtaks Halloween Screams!
I'm not ready to close Believe Holiday and I'm guessing I'm in the Majority........
ACF needs major changes before Believe Holiday, IMO.
Halloween Screams is my favorite DLR firework show, and 4th favorite castle show all time behind MWCT, Holiday Wishes and HEA. I hope it never leaves.
Believe is so old, the only currently running castle show that’s worse is Mix Tragic. It lacks the pop of the MK Christmas Fireworks and is entirely too short.
I haven’t seen WJ yet though, excited to see it this summer.

I agree that ACF is also ancient and should be swapped out; however, seeing both in person, ACF came off to me as dated but charming; Believe was just dated and woefully lacking compared to every other Disney fireworks show I have ever seen (disclaimer: have not seen MMM). Even the wretched Pixar show is longer and more impressive.
Whereas at least ACF is offering something that doesn't seem to exist or have been improved upon in other DLR parades-length and a scale that is charming rather than slight in comparison to more modern offerings.
