The train station already has a lighting pole that rises up for parades, they will probably replace the lights on those again.

Correct me if I’m wrong but if my memory serves me correctly from older posts it was only said there would be low profile lighting installed? I don’t recall anyone suggesting a bunch of concrete being torn up and poles installed.

I did see that currently but wasn’t sure if there is more areas of the station they plan to refurb. I guess though lighting install would be a separate project and would only be installed to either the roof or light polls installed on the ground around the station.

The only part under refurb is the staircase in the middle

I don't think the top of the Station is getting refurbished, only the Guest Aeras. From the Pics I saw on X.

Well the train station is under refurbishment so maybe we should keep an eye out to see if new lighting gets added to it.

Wow, MK takes their time, don't they.

They usually start getting torn down last 3 days of January.

Not sure, but they are the first and last things to go from the holiday season. They just got rid of Christmas decor, so we shall see if these get removed this week.

As of this Morning, some Light Towers are still along ROA, Are they New/Staying for Starlight or have they always been there? Or is the NYE Stuff still not put away?

I'm not at all involved myself, but get to work with the incredibly talented folks that are lucky enough to be involved. They often use synthesized mockups these days to work on productions before recording is complete so chances are parade production is pretty far along. That's literally all I know, but I'm beyond excited for this parade - the MSEP farewell season VHS is what got me into music in the first place

Ah, got it. Thanks!

I mean it is certainly possible since they do sometimes like to get local artists for entertainment soundtracks in parades but I wouldn't just go around trusting people on the internet because they work as a musician at a restaurant. Doesn't necessarily mean that they have any information about the parade coming to Magic Kingdom
