No Mickey's Christmas Parade December 2014?!

[Skywise]

Looking at the the December 2014 Travel Agent Park schedule here

I'm planning on going out to DW for 12/30 - 12/31 to catch the Christmas displays and the NYE fireworks.

I was starting to build out a schedule based on the 2013 calendar. I saw the 2014 calendar had finally been updated so I checked it out.

In 2013 Mickey's Once Upon a Christmastime Parade was scheduled for 12:30 and 3:30 each day on 12/30 and 12/31 Wishes was at 8:30 and the NYE fireworks were at 11:50.

For 2014 they have the Festival of Fantasy Parade scheduled only once at 3:30 each afternoon Christmas week through NYE and on 12/30 and 12/31 Wishes is scheduled for 7:30! (In fact, Wishes is scheduled an hour earlier all around - 10pm for 2013 and 9pm for 2014)

Have they made the Christmas Parade only show during the hard ticket event now? Wishes being at 7:30 on NYE is a major pain as I was planning on seeing the castle lighting at 6 and Wishes at 8:30 but now I'll have to start staking out a good place for the fireworks immediately after the castle lighting (MSEP is scheduled for 6:30 - right after the castle lighting... does this imply there won't be the castle lighting show on NYE?)

How firm are these times this far out?

I recall this exact same thing happening in 2013--early calendars not indicating the MVMCP-to-afternoon parade changeover. Be patient, I'm confident the Christmas parade will make the schedule after the last MVMCP is over (and booting FoF to the curb for the season).

How about the Wishes times? I've got 180+10 coming up in a few weeks and if Wishes is at 7:30 I'll have to schedule dinner around 4:30 instead of 6:30 (ish).

Don't recall about Wishes, sorry. Not saying it hasn't happened, but I certainly don't remember a Wishes at 7:30p, even on NYE! That seems absurdly early in the evening to me.
