Nothing has been announced .... that isn't to say they aren't working on something.
Sometimes the best laid plans, don't work out ....
Rivers of L...
(Oh, well.)
They probably never will have a night time parade again, which is sad. I guess they figure people will be disappointed but get used to it. Either that or they really are trying to get people to go to DL instead of WDW as a lot of their more recent efforts indicate.
As for ROL, I'm skeptical of its existence ever as well, it seems that they've basically given up on it as well as giving up on AK being open much later like this past summer
I don't believe this. I think they got themselves in a big pickle, kept moving forward leaving MK empty. I think they tried to scramble but failed. And now it's what do you do until the 50th? Multiple sources have nodded to Wishes being replaced this year so maybe that is the change for now .... I honestly do not believe this was the plan. I believe they screwed up.
ROL is a cluster. If the top brass aren't happy with it, and it sounds like it is not what was promised .......... what do you do? Throw it out there and take the critiques, retrofit for something else, hold and release when more attention will be focused on Pandora ........ who knows but I would not be surprised if one day it just starts running with zero fanfare.
Don't remember where I read it, and don't want to turn this into a rumors thread. But I do remember something about DLR needing to refurbish Paint the Night after the 60th ended but not wanting to return to two Soundsational parades a day, and offering to refurbish MSEP in return for getting to use it at DL while PtN is down. If true, that would suggest MK would eventually get MSEP back, and may be why there hasn't been any official discussion about a replacement at MK.
