I will be attending HHN 9/30. I don’t expect much sleep that night, however, I do expect potentially multiple “viewings” of HOP in the afternoon 10/1.

its giving its opinion about WDW's new price surges and changes.. because someone has to pay all that gold.. and sure as hell those aren't coming from WDW's executives's compensation packages.

The stage looks huge..
If it was smaller and didnt cover the entire inner ring of the partners statue..

OK. So I didn't go through the other 144 pages of info here but I there is one thing I don't understand.
Disneyland has several parades in storage. Two nighttime parades (one fan favorite and one we've never seen before - Paint the Night). We've "borrowed" parades in the past from Disneyland. Why is Disney not considering this for the huge 50th anniversary?
In addition they have I believe two Daytime Parades in storage (Magic Happens and Soundsational Parade).
Disney World is still recycling parade floats from Remember the Magic (25 years ago).
I've also always wondered why Disneyland and Disney World doesn't swap Christmas Parades to give each park something "new". Disneyland's A Christmas Fantasy Parade has been running since 1995 (26 years) and Disney World's since 1989 (32 years). Swap parades and each are new.

Couple things:
If COVID was all over and everyone was back at work!!!!, MK might of pulled that!!!!!! I still believe 2 Night Parades just sitting behind DLR does no one any good!!(if we had no COVID of course)
Does DL really still have Soundsational???? I thought it had to be used for Magic Happens? Isn't that why it closed like 6-8 Months before Magic Happens?
MK's Very Merry Christmas Parade 1989-2006, MK's Christmastime Parade 2007-2019, 2021-(YAY!) Christmastime Cal. last year for COVID.

I agree with your general point, but IIRC Soundsational is gone. I think they used some of those chassis for Magic Happens

I do think DL has the last Pixar parade from DCA in storage though. That would be nice for DHS potentially
Edit: I’m talking about the Pixar Play Parade from DCA in case that wasn’t clear. I think it last ran in 2018. Does anyone know if it still exists in storage?

I wasn't aware Soundstational was repurposed. I figured both were fairly new so they kept both.
And I thought the Disney World Christmas Parade was the same floats, just new music in 2007.

Asside from OUACT returning in November, I think Parades and other entertainment are going to be a 2022 thing. The “50th Seasons” or “Second Half of the 50th” will hopefully be better than the first half.
True.

The Castle float will probably last 50 years for the 100 anniversary at this rate.

The castle float is the Queen Elizabeth II of parade float longevity. It'll outlive us all.

Don't forget some of the floats for the Ounce Upon A Christmas Time Parade dating back to the early 80s. Same with the Clara Cluck float for the Boo To You Parade.

I hope we're out of the pandemic by the time I can visit next year. It's just crushing defeat at this point.
I'd love new glasses at McDonalds but that'll never happen again. I still have the 25th anniversary.
