Couple of questions for our trip in June

[Canadian Harmony]

I understand the MSEP is ending in June... the day we arrive! We're not planning on hitting the parks until two days later though so I was curious if anyone knows what is replacing the MSEP once it's over? I'm sure it'll be another parade but do we know which one?

Also, do we have an end date for the Rose Tavern and all the BATB stuff that is currently making the rounds in Fantasyland?

I wouldn't count on there being a replacement out immediately. There hasn't been a night parade at Magic Kingdom in WDW since MSEP left in October.

Wow! ok, thanks for the info.

MiceAge rumors suggest that the Paint the Night parade will be back this summer. They predicted it would be back for Christmas, and it was. So I am hopeful it will return after the Electrical parade glows away. Prior to Paint the Night Disneyland did not have a night parade, only Fantasmic! and fireworks. Fantasmic! will probably not return until July.

We caught F! last time, and it was awesome. We missed all the parades though, and the kids have made it very clear they want to watch as many as possible this time around. I hope there's at least the PTN returning before we leave.

If Paint the Night comes back...I wonder how big of a gap there will be between MSEP and PTN. We will be there in late June.

I'm hoping none. But that is probably wishful thinking.

I'm on the fence. I'd like to see Paint the Night. But....I fear the crowds it would bring in the first days back.

True. Crowd wise it would probably be best to wait until July to bring back the parade since the local passes will be blocked out. If Fantasmic! comes back at the same time it would also help with crowding as they spread out. However, the people visiting the last two weeks of June may be upset if they happen to be visiting in a two week window in which there is no night parade and Fantasmic! hasn't returned either. We'll just have to wait and see, and then make the best of whatever happens.
