Why do I have a feeling we’ll be seeing Chernabog?

I really love how each float for the Fantasia section each has different tones and moods based on a specific segment from the film. I remember some kids felt very creeped out as the Chernabog float was moving past guests. It makes the finale feel more welcoming and reassuring.

If they are smart. You will see plenty of late night up charge events starting at 9/10pm to get people from Universal to hop over

I think it works really well in Hong Kong (where I saw it first) due to it's cleaner design and the more crisp and modern feel of the park - in addition to it's spectacular entertainment program that gives the sense that you are experiencing the park along with the characters in a more intimate way. Paint the Night comparatively feels full of grandeur in the small-scale park. I don't think the large scale of Magic Kingdom would accommodate the attempts of grandeur in Paint the Night. Main Street and Cinderella Castle dwarf the scale of floats like Mack and Monsters Inc - I think they would look rather silly traveling past the castle. Spectromagic, IMHO, got it right in the fact that the long floats were LONG rather than trying to create the illusion of impressive height. Chernabog's Bald Mountain float only worked for me due to the surprise factor and the spectacular transition from darkness and fear into the brilliant finale, not because of it's height. As far as I can see in the concept art, it looks like they're taking a lot of cues from Specto in terms of creating lots of length with the pixie-dusted starlight comets, and using height to place the characters upwards so younger guests can see them rather than trying to create the illusion of giant set pieces. ...of course... the success of Spectro was the interstitial moments, the dancers in between scenes, and the presence of smaller feature floats aside from the "hero" floats. I hope that the "units" of this parade feel truly cohesive with the starlight motif COMBINED with care taken towards transitionary features.

Don’t think it belongs on Main Street, not traditional and to modern in my opinion but it is a fun parade and would be great for DCA and Hollywood Studios. I’d do see it if that were the case but I just don’t think pop music and floats fit with the Magic Kingdom setting.

Tired of these early 9-10PM closures at MK. Want more consistent 11PM & 12AM closures, which we should see happen. I know Universal is going to be tough to compete with this year, but Disney has a significant advantage in that they actually keep their parks open late. Universal loves to close its parks early (as early as 6PM for IOA/USF in favor of private events). IOA closes at 7PM consistently, and it's a shame.

Honestly..... I'm so hoping for MK'S Old Schedule!!!
