Yes, I think so!
 
Hi.. is there any rumor or info about July 17th itself?
Anything special could occur at the park?
Thanks!
Not that I know of other than opening Walt Disney A Magical Life and the last verse being added to Small World.

We were there for Disney's 100th (10/16/23) when they didn't do anything. Yesterday they released a MK t-shirt that has the date July 17, 2025 and says "I was there." To me, that is promising that they are going to do something. At least they are acknowledging the date.
 
When I was a kid in the 1990s, Disneyland was open until 1AM during busy seasons + most weekends, and MSEP (and the short lived Light Magic) regularly performed late.

Been many years since DLP has had a parade, sans the cameo of MSPE.
I'm fine with the parks being open late

But the shows should be over before 11 PM

I get why Disney does it to get people to stay late but USH has had night time shows start at 8:30 PM and during the holidays can even be earlier because the sun has been down for hours
If they want some live music and dancing later go at it but the shows should start much earlier. The fireworks can be at 9...have Fantasmic and the parade at 8:30 PM then at 9:30 PM have Fantasmic and the parade again...bam people can leave before 10 and get sleep

But clearly who ever is running these shows does not have kids or just likes making it worst for people who do

Probable is that the sun doesn’t set until after 8PM most of the summer, and it’s not completely dark until closer to 9PM.

I go to the resort enough to say you can run the shows at 8:30 and it will work well.

Especially paint the night

Even if it cant in summer, there is zero excuses in winter. Disney does it to keep guests to stay later and the hope is you buy more because of this

Once again USH has done shows at 8:30 this includes projection shows and the sun has completely set by 8 PM even in summer the summer is down before 8:30 PM

Completely agree it could be done, I just don’t think it’s optimal conditions. Granted I’ve never been to USH (!), but the lighting effects at DLR are much better in total darkness.

The late showing of PTN was pretty empty last Monday (Memorial Day) and then again on Sunday. I assume that will change as school gets out and we approach peak summer.

It is not like the only show is done at 11pm. They are adjusting things likely due to the timing of the different shows.

They have done shows before and not had to have them this late

I'm sure there are reasons but I'm saying all the nighttime shows are starting too late and should be moved up so there isn't a parade at 11 PM at night
