Same with Starlight!!!!!!!!!

I’m pretty sure Memorial Day is the target for that one

I heard that as well. I just can't wait for TDO to tell us the actual date and see that on the Calendar!

I had a full blown anxiety attack in Coral Reef over the return announcement.

I need a date N O W!

If I was to guess, and its just a guess, PtN returns in April ahead of the 70th, with the rest of the 70th debuting in May the week before Memorial Day weekend.

Easter is late, April 20th. That could work...

Maybe it comes back for Spring Break in march?

Possible, it'll depend on the 70th dates I would assume.

They’re likely teasing early as auditions are going up soon. Keep an eye on the auditions page all!

 

[Touchdown]

Auditions mean we are only 3 ish months out right? Maybe they goose attendance with a late February return.

Maybe, but that would be early for the 70th, and I have a feeling this is for the 70th.

They also started casting for Starlight in MK too and that's not coming till summer so I'm not sure if that really means anything although that's a whole new parade so it's probably different.

I’m just going on the holiday parades, they audition for Halloween in May, etc.

Just noticed they are holding parade auditions next week actually, it's up right now. Maybe for Magic Happens return though, or people to add in for Christmas?

the cynic in me wonders if we would have this same reaction if in 2015 disney announced that they were celebrating the park's 60th anniversary with the return of walt disney's parade of dreams. doesn't this feel weird?

also, nice way to make everyone forget all about the price increase complaints!

This is the reason for the price increases, so you're welcome.

I think they know they didn't run Paint the Night really that long at all, not long enough to justify the cost of the parade. It's a hugely impressive parade, and was seemingly gone in the blink of an eye.

Didn’t it run in Hong Kong or somewhere first? Or did they clone it and make a second?

Yes, it was originally made for Hong Kong and a clone was made for Disneyland resort. The Hong Kong version of the parade has yet to return post covid either.

They built two at the same time, one for Hong Kong, one for Disneyland. Disneyland got lucky though and received the extra float section (Frozen, then Incredibles), and the old World of Color pre-show puppets.

DLR got the Drum Float as well.

I think it's rumored that PTN returns to HKDL in
2025? There's also a rumor of a new Parade for HKDL so who knows?
