It was so hard to tell -- I don't
think it will be back for the holidays, but who knows? The way certain things were brought up at the Expo (I watched it on Periscope as it was happening) left some questions and blanks that need to be filled in. For example, the concept of Pixar Pier has people confused -- I think that most people think that it is the entire land of Paradise Pier that will become Pixar Pier, whereas I was leaning more towards just a section of the land becoming Pixar Pier. Some things were not explained very well in the presentations, and then there was also a guy talking over some of the audio and I was trying to hear what was being said, despite his interference!
To me, it sounded like the plan was for Paint the Night to return in 2018, at which point it will appear in DCA -- with a new float -- but that it wouldn't be back this year. Then, the Pixar Play Parade will head over to DL.
However, does that mean that the Christmas Fantasy Parade will once again be shown at night during the holidays, like it used to be? Or will the Electrical Parade get another extension and stick around for the holidays?
