Main Street Electrical Parade Staying Put

[DizneyFreak2002]

I'm not going to be surprised. I have a couple of good friends who are Imagineers involved in the project. They have told me, essentially, what you stated above about Pixie Hollow being too "girlie" and wanting to focus instead on something that will be more well-rounded in its target demographic. My point, though, is that it is not 100% that the original plan won't go forward. That actually still is on the table and no final decision has been made. Hence my statement that it's just a rumor, no matter how likely a rumor it might be.

Then tell them... WE WANT VILLAINS!!!!

Pixie Hollow doesn't need a huge, dedicated space. They sort of threw one together in DL, just in a corner space that used to be a walking path with a fountain. They added some topiaries, decorations, and a new fountain, and...voila: Pixie Hollow.

Don't underestimate Disney's ability to squeeze something minor like Pixie Hollow into an existing area. Methinks the Rose Garden in front of the castle will see the end of its days soon...

The perfect spot is the area where Fantasyland Skyway Station is currently located.. Right across from Peter Pan's Flight.. Makes a ton of sense to me...

We're going back to Disney in January and I hope that this parade is still going on when we get there. I've seen this parade once in 2003 and I loved it so much!

The February park hours just came out and MSEP is still listed for then...so it looks like it should be there for you in January.

It's great news for us as we've never seen this parade before, and are due to fly out barely 10 days after it was originally due to finish!

[ShanPooh]

I would think since they are extending it, and I had heard rumors before that it was on loan for two years, (but that was a complete rumor) that it should stay at least through Disney World's 40th anniversary. That would be awesome!

That's what we're hoping for!

I am looking forward to seeing ELP in October - I was so disapointed when it was originally due to finish before we visited!

Then tell them... WE WANT VILLAINS!!!!

I've mentioned that to them last year when the Fantasyland project was first announced. The response I got was "too much of a niche market." My response was "What the heck do you think Pixie Hollow is?"

[yjgirl32]

This is so great- My mom and I missed it the first time we were down and ever since have been bummed- I think I will leave it a surprise for her. So excited!!!!

SWEET>>>>>> We going in OCT and cant wait to see it again

Agh.... Pixie Hollow is a flash in the pan... They need to stop catering to Marketing and just do it!!! A Villains Lair would rock!!!

I swear, I never understand Disney's positons on things...

I loved this when I was a child! My children have never experienced this parade so I can only hope the parade is still running next year when we go

[Rosemickey68]

I have always loved the MSEP!! I am so excited they are going to have it in January when we go! After reading this I checked the park hours on the WDW site and it made my whole day to see it listed with the time!

[BigRedDad]

I am truly excited about this news. I cannot go during Summer because I cannot stand the crowds. I have not seen this parade since I was a little kid and have faint memories of it. I cannot wait until we see it in October. I pray it will still be there.

[PinKy]

Yippeee Skippeee!! I agree this is one of their best parades. I hope its running when we arrive in March!! If not - I still think its FANTASTIC they brought it back for a while! Hope everyone gets to enjoy it!!

[Rekenna]

Hi! This is good news for us as well. We love Spectro it's our fave, but we have never seen MSEP-so it's exciting to see something new!

[madhatterrules]

I LOVE this parade, and now I actually will get to see it again & share it with my daughter & husband.

I almost cried when I called my husband to tell him that it will still be there on Aug 15th when we arrive.

It holds a special memory for me as a child this was the parade.

[senderella]

I am bummed! I have seen both parades and SpectroMagic is my absolute favorite. We are going in January (haven't been in almost two years) and I cannot believe I won't get to see Spectro. Oh well, my kids have never seen MSEP so that will be a positive. Not to mention that I will still be in the Happiest Place on Earth!

[PopPhan]

Not to mention that I will still be in the Happiest Place on Earth!

NOPE! Disneyland is "The Happiest Place on Earth" -- Walt Disney World is "The Most Magical Place on Earth!" LOL

[Stu29573]

Truth be told, I think most of my love of MSEP comes from the opening build up. Spectro never gave me chills like MSEP. When those lights cut out, its magic! When the Spectro lights go out its...well, time for the parade. I'm not sure exactly why that is...

[dinahvixen]

I am so happy that there's a possibility we can see it next June - we can only go every two years and we couldn't make it this summer - this is the parade I remember seeing as a child and I can't wait for my kids to see it, if it's still there that long!
