UPDATE #2: As of right now it looks like Paint the Night won't be coming to Magic Kingdom after all. According to Erin Glover from the Disney Parks Blog who responded to a comment on tonight's release that at this time there are no plans to bring Paint the Night to Walt Disney World.

Now of course this could change at any time and Paint the Night could eventually make its way over to the Magic Kingdom in Disney World.

UPDATE: Main Street Electrical Parade will begin its run for a limited-encore engagement at Disneyland in Early 2017. Paint the Night after ending on September 5 will return on select nights through the holiday season until the return of Main Street Electrical Parade at the beginning of the year.

Rumors got hot and heavy last week that the Main Street Electrical Parade at Magic Kingdom would be ending its run at the theme park. The rumors became even hotter when it was announced that Paint the Night in Disneyland would be ending on September 5. The rumors have now officially been confirmed as the Main Street Electrical Parade will be ending its run officially on October 9. 

The nighttime parade will move to Disneyland Resort for a limited time however no date has been announced when MSEP will begin at Disneyland. One would assume now that Paint the Night will be making its way over to the East Coast now that Main Street Electrical Parade will be moving to the West Coast. No official announcement has been made on Paint the Night moving to the Magic Kingdom. 

The Main Street Electrical Parade debuted in 2010 and is a nighttime procession filled with glowing, spinning floats that honor favorite Disney characters. Animated Disney films that are represented include “Alice In Wonderland,” “Cinderella” and more. During the parade, Tinker Bell lights the way with a wave of her wand and orchestrates half a million shimmering lights synchronized to a memorable soundtrack.

Of course you can stay tuned as more information on the Main Street Electrical Parade moving to Disneyland and possible move of Paint the Night to the East Coast should be out soon.
