Disneyland 70th speculations and news

[LKing]

BTW Scott Hoying did an interview with Billboard about how he got to do this song for the celebration. Apparently he's a big Disney fan:

Thanks for sharing. It is nice to read the back story. A few weeks ago Anthony Garguila shared a video of himself listening to his voice on WOC for the first time. It was pretty cool to see how something like this is so meaningful to the artists.

I asked about this in my July thread, but maybe somebody here might know. I’m not arriving until Friday and we have a reservation at Sam’s and I’m hoping to get one of these mugs. Does anybody know if they’re usually still available the day after. They say if any of them are left, they’ll be available for purchase at trader Sam’s, but I’m wondering how often any of them are ever left after the mobile order day.

According to ThemeParkIQ, PTN will pause during Christmas at Disneyland. WOC Season of Light is no longer listed as returning. WOC Happiness should run through the holidays.

Sadly not surprising. that would have been...too good for guests the nighttime entertainment would be off the charts

I saw WOC Holiday is not coming back....What the fudge

Like maybe its just online people but most people don't prefer this new version of WOC....I love the muppets stuff but that can be added to any show.

So thats a big L for me...no Idea why people go to Disney at the Holidays...for the Holidays theming and shows

Perhaps it's so more people from out of town who haven't seen the new one for the 70th get a chance to do so?
Regardless, it'll probably be back next holiday season (2026).

Recently they have been available the days after. Release day gives the opportunity for artist signing. They will also be available at the outdoor terrace bar walk up the following days. (Believe that bar opens at 11am).

But Paint the night is going away for the Holiday parade.......

I just wish Disney listened to feedback, from what I've heard most people think its fine or good but not the best version so weird to put aside the version people prefer more and also people want Holiday entertainment so sucks for them. the 70th is for 14 months they would have 12 other months to come if they realllly wanted to see that WOC

Wow, that's so surprising. I definitely expected them to have the holiday WOC.

Honestly, I don't understand benching Paint the Night for the mediocre Christmas Fantasy parade, so I get it. If it's still the 70th, they should run the 70th stuff.

Everything I have heard says they ran both for the 60th, so why aren't they doing it this time?

I didn't know if DL had the space to stage two parades, but if they can, then why not?

For that matter, why is PTN always treated so shabbily? It is by all accounts one of the best, if not THE best parade Disney has ever done. It's immensely popular. It could have a 20+ year run like MSEP did. So...why?

Could be as simple as budget

Or could be less space for two parades in the back area since Mickey Ride took up alot of the backstage area

If its space then nothing to be done but I agree it should be running even if only once a night

So, when would the PTN holiday pause begin? We were hoping to see it Nov. 1.

Just a guess but, assuming that there is room for both parades backstage, as has always been said to be true, November 13th.

I am sure it is budget but dang it really sucks for anyone who was planning a November/December trip only to have major elements of the 70th not be showing.

Christmas Fantasy Parade is a daytime parade, right? We will be visiting for Dapper Days mid November and I'm bummed PtN wont be offered. I guess the silver lining is that Main Street may be less crowded in the evenings.
