Paint The Night Parade Returning!

[disneycat321]

My heart….PTN is my absolute favorite parade, and we haven’t seen it since summer 2015. We’ve been toying with the idea of our daughter’s first Disneyland trip for her second birthday in the summer, and this is really making me want to do it….

lol

This is why Disney could raise the prices to 300 bucks and people would still pay...nostalgia is powerful

Very true I just saw this on Instagram...so accurate!

What's the guess on start date?

Wasn't planning a Disneyland trip in 2025.. but this was one thing I swore I wouldn't miss!

Think this is after the holidays- this upcoming spring/summer?

 

[B3rlingirl]

Oh boy… that’s my favorite parade!


I need some input from some normal and reasonable people:
Doing a spontaneous 15h long flight from Germany for a long weekend with 1.5 park days is an absolutely reasonable thing to do…?

(My colleagues already roll their eyes that I have been doing 5 days at Disney last year and this year…(and this year it’s only for experiencing holiday time at Disney and not just a stop over to Hawaii…))

Do it! Our son's first trip was when he was roughly 17 months old and it was so fun. (Just be sure to go at your daughter's pace and take breaks.) I look back on the pictures often because it really was so great. He's 11 years old now and still loves the parks.

Hmm....that's really such a personal choice. I can't imagine going all that way for only 1.5 days in the parks. But if you don't mind it...then go for it.

Thanks! We’ll see. The higher prices for less these days make it tough to swallow. When your son was our daughter’s age, I know the experience and value was just so much better! It’s a lot to consider. If we do go, I just hope she could last for a 9pm(ish?) parade - maybe the last night? She doesn’t ever stay up nearly that late at home!

I’d love for it to be up for Christmas.

Did PNT ever run with WOC ?

I'm pretty sure it did during the 60th.

(Would safe me the weekend trip…)

Genie+/LL was the shot that killed the golden goose. I did it once in 2022 and I've never wantd to return.

But this is the one thing that could get me back.

Haha. So true! We were totally thinking of taking a long break….but now we are waiting to see more info about PTN.

I've never seen Paint the Night in person, after seeing Dream Lights at Tokyo Disneyland last year it has become my fav night parade ever, even better than Electrical Parade at Disneyland.
I'm assuming the parade will be back for the 70th celebrations and just hoping during my late May visit I can finally see it in person.

Disneyland is seriously struggling for more entertainment.

Did PNT ever run with WOC ?

PTN and WOC did run on the same nights. Both when PTN was at DL and when at DCA.

No inside knowledge, but I expect PTN to return to DCA. There should also be Desert Viewing, similar to OBB Parade Viewing.

Decent quality video shot with an iPhone 6s (seems like an antique now)

Please hear this in the voice of a 5 year old with a some foot stomping.

"It's not fair ! How come my older sibling gets a nighttime parade? I'm old enough to stay up late too." says WDW.

WDW is getting a new night parade next year.

That is correct - Starlight Night Parade is coming to MK in 2025.

I had no idea. See foot stomping does work.

And that is why Disney is the master. I agree with you about Genie+/LL … changed the whole park experience for us.

I LOVE Paint the Night, but even this won't make us come back next year.

With the $400 price tag for untimed LLMP, I can only imagine how much the "reserved parade viewing" will be that will take up most of the good viewing sections. Not something they announced, but can already feel it coming.
