WHERE Can We Do This Again? PTN taking a trip...

[Curious Constance]

I hate the wires. I wish they were coming down. I'm more interested in an idealized version of the past where hideous wires didn't have to be strung up everywhere, myself

You and me both. And I still can't get past them telling people that they power the trolley. I know it's to keep the theme going, but that just seems like it's too far. I'm curious what the CM I witnessed saying this would have done had I called her on it.

They might as well just get rid of the red car. It doesn't fit the Marvel funny book theme.

Like a steam locomotive in tomorrowland?

95% of its track runs outside of the new Marvel boundaries, it really isn't 'in' Marvel land.

As usual, it was an issue of weighing costs. Somehow creating a new PTN float is cheaper than pulling down the wires.

And while the Frozen gravy train is still going strong, resentment for it internally is stronger. Personally, that Elsa didn't make the cut for Fantasmic is indicative of creative fatigue with the property.

If only someone would fatigue little Mermaid.

Speaking of The Little Mermaid and Paint the Night, I remember being taken aback when she rolled by in the parade because she sounded like a ridiculous drag queen.

I actually wish they didn't make Ariel talk in PTN as a result.

LOL.

I have a friend from Laguna Beach whose first husband worked for Oscar Mayer years ago, an old sponsor of The River Belle Terrace. She disliked Disneyland mostly because he frequently dragged her there to entertain clients and out of town guests at Club 33. For whatever reason she thought the park was tacky, and never understood my fascination with it. Anyway, she loved to tell me the story of how she once purchased a toy pirate cap gun for her nephew in New Orleans Square, but no caps were available for sale anywhere in the park. When she asked a shop clerk why and they replied, "Oh we don't like loud noises at Disneyland". She always repeated the clerk's response in a mocking Disney Princess type voice. It was hilarious.

Kinda like the time we purchased a make your own light saber in Tomorrowland, and they taped it closed so my son couldn't extend it in the park. He was flabbergasted hahaha

It's possible, but honestly I have no idea if it's on the D23 list.

I was thinking they may bring up MSEP "glowing Away" forever on August 20th followed by We are happy to announce PTN will return this Holiday season at DCA. However I'm sure they won't go into detail as far as the Frozen float or the exact return date.

I'm kind of surprised that you would be taken aback by anything at this point. After all, you did post a video of yourself NAKED AT HOME ON A DISNEY FAN WEBSITE.

It was not naked.

Funny since I personally think that Frozen is a pretty strong IP for a show like Fantasmic of all things.. They could've had a giant Marshmellow puppet, freeze the ROA via projections, etc.. Basically pretty good content could've been used for the show.

If they end up not using the Frozen float at DCA, here's what I think will happen:

"MSEP returns to Magic Kingdom for a limited time only, with a BRAND NEW Frozen float! Make sure to catch this Disney classic before it "Glows Away."

I would love seeing if the WDW section for the boards implode lol.

"Glowing Away"

 

[TP2000]

Speaking of glowing away, I passed a fancy digital billboard along the Orange Freeway tonight for the MSEP that had a new tag line "Hurry, Ends 8/20!"

They seem to really be serious about it ending this time. Again.

 

[mikenatcity1]

I don't want MSEP To die. I saw it last night and I still find it more enjoyable than PTN. When Disney comes out with a new night parade with a less annoying soundtrack I may be on board.

I only wish I could have seen it at DL- i'm arriving a month too late to see it there

I can't imagine them getting rid of the Frozen float- that float was one that they advertised and brought front and center in blogs, plus with the Frozen show in DCA it fits (and taking Frozen out of anything right now seems to be against the rules with Disney). Time will tell! Only another couple days...

Correction the Frozen float will be the new opening float for MSEP at MK lol.

The schedule for after 8/20 is now out online. Soundsational is back at 4:30 & 7:00. No 3rd Show of F! yet. It will be interesting to see where we are on all this on 8/21!

 

[BrianLo]

I do not believe it will be a Frozen float. I think Moana is a likely candidate, but that's me guessing at the replacement.

I just realized how seemingly PtN feels like it was actually developed for DCA from the beginning.

Between Cars, Ariel, Monsters and Toy Story there was always a subtle feeling that yes this was a parade borrowed from HKDL.

But DCA has all their big bases covered... which leads me to submit a guess that it will actually be a Guardians of the Galaxy float. Or perhaps Wreck it Ralph... but I certainly wouldn't be opposed to Moana, that just doesn't scream DCA if this is a more permanent fixture for that park in the medium term.
