Certainly been an interesting day! IMO, I don't/won't believe this until we get some conformation from the Parks Blog on what's really ending on Sept. 5th(so far the rumors are the whole 60th campaign) besides Summer hours. If our insiders here more, then there's something to this!

Does WDW have to build a new one if they don't trade?

But I don't want PTN at the Magic Kingdom if the rumor is true!

Walt Disney World does build parades (Festival Of Fantasy) but they are prone to reusing old parade floats mainly reusing the Share A Dream Come True Parade floats for "Disney Dreams On Parade" and "Celebrate A Dream Come True Parade" and the old castle float which has been used for who knows how long.

If they wanted a new night parade yes.

Well, yeah.
But I still don't see how that's helping to save money. Because then DL would be left with an old parade and need to spend money on an updated parade.

I'm sure the Disneyland visitors won't mind knowing how much they loved and missed MSEP before PTN.

I respectfully disagree. MSEP should have no more runs. It's 44 years old and in embarrassing shape. It would also be a MAJOR downgrade for DL after PTN. WDW should put it out of its misery and then it should be lovingly destroyed for limited edition pins so that it can't inflict itself on Disney Parks anymore. It was better in 1996. Now it's just sad.
I haven't heard anything yet about these rumors. Forever closing doesn't seem far-fetched, but a PTN/MSEP swap does seem very far-fetched. I can't imagine DLR would be in any hurry to give up PTN after spending so much money on it and marketing it for over a year.
Paint the Night leaving for Main Street Electrical? HIGHLY doubt that.
I could see Forever not coming back. Return Remember and I'll be a happy gal.

I may be looking back with rose colored glasses ( I was like 12 years old the last time I saw the parade ). But that MSEP intro and baroque hoedown are just classic. I'm a musical person so what really drew me to MSEP was the sound track. IMO that is where MSEP outshines PTN and that mediocre pop song playing over and over again. As far as visuals I could see how PTN could be more dynamic but I would have to see MSEP in person again to really judge.
As far as the rumor it does seem highly unlikely.

Could MSEP survive another trip across America?

And how exactly does switching parades save money? Besides there's that pesky little promise that DL's MSEP was going away from the park forever.

If they do this, I hope they make the parade literally parade the entire way across America!

I haven't seen the new fireworks, but for whatever reason, I don't think I'll ever see another fireworks show I like more than Remember. I love that dang show.

Disneyland Forever is stupendous. As long as you watch it from Main Street that is. Combined with PTN there's nothing like it anywhere.

DF is very good but I have to agree with @Curious Constance . While DF is groundbreaking by using the park buildings and attractions as a canvas, it's not really about Disneyland which has been my biggest complaint from the start. Remember truly was a celebration of Disneyland, gave me goosebumps every time I saw it.
