Magic Kingdom will be without a night parade for another three or four years. They'll announce something at the 2019 D23 Expo, and then debut it in late 2020 or early '21, whenever WDW's 50th celebration for 2021 kicks off.
I'm sure there will be Pixar floats in whatever WDW night parade they get. There are two major Pixar attractions already in Magic Kingdom Park; Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters and Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor.
Right now WDW has a very, very weak parade lineup. They have exactly one (1) daily parade across all four parks; Festival of Fantasy at Magic Kingdom.
Anaheim has three (3) daily parades on offer currently; Pixar Play Parade, Mickey's Soundsational, and MSEP. Plus two nightly Fantasmic!, two nightly World of Color, and Remember fireworks. Disneyland Resort is an embarassment of riches compared to WDW right now, but we're all supposed to wait for the 50th in 2021 for it to get better.

To be fair though WDW still has the creaky old Electrical Water Pageant, so there's that.

I remember when all the parks had their own parades in the early 2000's.Magic Kingdom will be without a night parade for another three or four years. They'll announce something at the 2019 D23 Expo, and then debut it in late 2020 or early '21, whenever WDW's 50th celebration for 2021 kicks off.

If the new float is Pixar I have a feeling it's either Inside out or Coco. I'm hoping Coco, the theme would make for a great parade float and the lighting could be amaZing

I hope Tink doesn't get caught in the trolley wires.

There are several good jokes there, but I will move along in case @Curious Constance's adorable children are here.
We all keep talking about the trolley wires, but I'm sure they've already measured and know what floats can fit and what floats need to be modified, if at all.
But the trolley wires only cover about one third of the DCA parade route. The majority of DCA's route takes place beyond the Hollywood area. It's important to remember that the DCA parade route is very long and much wider than others. (Stop it!)

With Incredibles 2 coming out next summer I wouldn't be surprised if they added characters from that film.

They have however gained night shows for AK, recommitted to fireworks for DHS and finally refreshed the MK fireworks... that's like a miracle in itself as far as TDO is concerned. An E-ticket per year plus two bonus redone E's are on the docket through 2021. Disney Springs is great, Pandora was a fantastic addition.
It's definitely at least heading in a better investment direction then whatever the hell they did for the last 15 years.

We definitely won't be seeing PTN debut this Holiday season like what was originally thought? @GiveMeTheMusic ?
Why would you say that? Last I heard holiday season at DCA was still the target, but things can always change.

Thought they said 2018 at D23. But I guess they were not that specific regarding PTN.

Personally, I think Inside out with it's visual aesthetic would be a good fit for PTN, but my preference would be a float dedicate to some classic Disney animation.
They didn't give a date for PTN at D23, just talked about it in conjunction with Pixar Fest, as if DCA and DL can only hold one parade each so PTN will have to move to DCA when PPP goes to DL hurr durr

I got the impression that when Bob C uttered the words "Star Wars" at D23, it was the first time he had ever used those two words together.

I would love to see Disney create floats that included classic animated characters that are rarely used. Seem like a lost opportunity by not using many of the older characters. Not only would they have a large following of guests wanting to see the parade but they can tie in together the parade with a whole bunch of merchandise that we would all want to buy.
They should be proud of their film library wether they were huge hits or not.
I have t seen them bring out characters for older movies much if it's not a Princess or even some of the really cool costumes they made for characters of treasure planet and Atlantis. Hey I won't even mind if they brought out characters from Home on the range.
It's one thing to pull from the classics, but don't ever expect to see an Atlantis float. The early 2000s flop period will never get park traction, just like Black Cauldron won't be showing up in Fantasmic any time soon.
