The recently refurbished Cinderella Castle Forecourt Stage will be home to the new show in Spring 2022.

A new opening number and finale will be part of the new show, along with new costumes.

Fire in the lagoon has finally returned tonight, just in time for Hollywood Studios's 35th birthday! 🔥

If the parade is planned for 2025 then it should be in the process of being built?

WDW is pretty content to do things differently than Disneyland, in many regards. I think Disney’s interest in beefing up their 2025 offerings quickly is what’s most likely to drive a new Night Parade.

So has anything changed in that regard? Also, I would assume one of the arguments being used to justify green lighting a parade is that Disneyland does it all the time so what's Walt Disney World's excuse

One of the main barriers to MK not having a night parade has been a reluctance from an operations standpoint to deal with the crowds in the hub and Main Street.

Also it fits the Studios theme by celebrating the studio. I know " The wonderful world of animation" it's supposed to celebrate the studio but it doesn't do it very well because in my opinion that show is bad and I Wondrous Journeys is incredible. The wondrous projections team should be able to retrofit it to the Chinese theater pretty easily since they already had to retrofit it for a bunch of different other surfaces in Disneyland as the original show was made for the castle first and then changed to match MSUSA, IASW, and ROA.

WJ and it's Low Pyro Package! If B Mode works at DL, it can work at DHS!

This is a really cheap idea but I say bring over Wondrous Journeys and throw it on the Chinese theater.

Thanks. DAK is definitely in need of a nighttime show and even a parade, but I don’t think they will go that far? and Studios could use a parade and maybe a different Chinese Theatre nighttime show, but mainly a parade. As far as MK goes, is the reason they decided to give in and bring back a light parade because they feeling MK nights are lacking and HEA is no longer enough?

Hopefully means new nighttime parade for MK, new DAK nighttime show and daytime parade at DHS? Wouldn’t mind if entertainment also returns like Main Street Trolley Show and Citizens of Hollywood. Try and get the overall entertainment back to pre covid standards. Even if FOF continues to limp.

Nothing on day parade so far. Think the focus is really on boosting other areas that are completely lacking right now.

It is great that a light parade is in development but it would also be nice to know there are plans to address FoF in some way shape or form. @wdwmagic have you heard anything?
