Paint The Night … when will it be ending

[Perrypooh]

When would be the last night for PTN, do you think?

prior years the parades at DL stop the last week of October so that the performers can prepare for the holiday parade. The parade dining package end Oct 26th so it’s likely that will be the last parade day for PTN.

Well that's really disappointing. Doesn't sound good for those of us going over the holidays.

Unfortunately, I was correct - in my earlier post. October 26.
This is a cost cutting for certain. There is room to run both parades. It is a shame.

Of course there is room. They have done so before.

Just saying, the way PTN pausing is buried near the end of the announcement and the wording "will return at a later date" is somewhat ominous to me. I wonder if it will at least be taking a break after the holidays until spring break season. I hope not.

Ugh, yes! This is frustrating. I’m planning a March trip entirely around PTN, and now I’m not sure if it’s even going to be happening.

In this particular post, Scott claims that WOC Happiness will "run entire 70th," yet the Disneyland website says that WOC Season of Light will run from Nov 14 - Jan 7. Are they going to run two versions of WOC at the same time?

Also, there is no Tapestry of Magic. It is called Tapestry of Happiness.

Better Together is pausing on August 4, not Aug 22.
Celebrate Happy Cavalcade is pausing on August 11, not Aug 22.

So Gustin got WOC Happiness correct but not PTN.

Yes, very disappointing. On the bright side, this means there will be garland across Main Street!

You do make a good point. I was on "garland watch" back in 2017 so why not 2025?

I am still contemplating a trip in February. No PTN will mean no trip for me. As much as I want to see the new Walt animatronic and the last verse on Small World, those two things by themselves are not worth $1,500+ for me.

Where do you see that it is ending, excuse me "pausing" October 26?

The dining package ends on Sunday October 26 for PTN. Holiday Time starts Nov. 14. If the parade was going on there would be a dining package plus the deocrations will need to come down for Halloween and the installation of the holiday decorations. Just an inference.
The Plaza Inn always has dining package for the Christmas Fantasy Parade. I was wrong about it ending permanently but I was correct about it ending its run for 2025 before the holidays.

PS It definitely be back in 2026 when is anyone's guess. January? February? just the weekends?

And Scott Gustin was wrong about Paint the Night running during the holidays.

Yes, he was wrong. To be fair, it's also possible his sources at Disney in May planned something different than what they are actually doing...

Celebration 70th Tour ends on Sunday September 21. The PTN viewing area will end for the Tour on Sept. 21 then but the Plaza Inn Package for PTN is available so maybe the viewing area will be one big area.
