WDW has been refurbishing their pyro barges the past month, so doubt it. Probably conflicted with the DL incidient recently.

Maybe they crossed stories.

Sounds like the same as the DLR incident

Disney AnalystSep 17, 2024

Anyone hear of this?

the change in parade times made me think of the funny question: what time does the 3pm parade start? Now it starts at 2. 😆

I wonder how they will manage the new nighttime parade? Hire more float drivers and performers?

SpectroBroJul 22, 2024

This is just to allow for float drivers and performers to get proper rest. Between am rehearsals for Halloween and Christmas, daily operations, events, and overnight rehearsals they are always stretched very thin.

Hopefully with Wonderful 2025 News!!!!!!!!!! Looks like FOF is going back to 2pm for Party Season like it was Pre COVID. I'm bothered by only 1 Adv. Friends. Either add another one, or add another MMFF or Finally return the Trolley Dancers!!!! Please let MK Entertainment get a BIG Boost during or after D23!
