Any idea why the last minute change of mind?

↩ replying to Mkek22The almighty $$$.
Probably felt the cost of putting them up wouldn’t bring in enough additional revenue to justify

↩ replying to Mkek22I believe I saw on here that MK was looking at 2023 or 2024 for Castle Dreamlights.

Might MK go ahead if DHS gets tons of bad PR?

↩ replying to jrhwdwMK might get their dreamlights, but I believe the issue is that the cost does not bring a quantitative amount of return. There is no way for Disney to know how many more guests will go to MK for the dreamlights, or if they have any effect at all on overall turnout. In the past years they haven’t been able to due to the 50th decorations on the castle, but it seems like that excuse showed them over the last few years that the Dreamlights to not make much if any of an impact on turnout. Dreamlights seem like something that keeps guests coming back. With their models, there is no way to count how much more a guest will spend because they’ll come back over and over because of little details like the Dreamlights…

↩ replying to jrhwdwI think it’s obvious we won’t be hearing anything sooner than September at this point. Possibly for Epcot’s new show to. I suppose if nothing does get said in September that doesn’t mean “sparkling lights” isn’t happening in 2024.

↩ replying to DisneyFanatic12Honestly, I would probably attend if they brought back dreamlights. I’ve never been able to experience it. I won’t be going if they don’t because there’s nothing different to draw me.
I’m not saying they should cater to me, I may be an exception to the general thought that it won’t draw ppl though.

↩ replying to jrhwdwI'm pretty sure that the DHS event is not going to go down very well with a lot of people, but I think it will still likely sell out.

While most likely cut due to cost, there's also the possibility that the people who knew how to install and run it aren't working there anymore, which would require extra time and training to make it work -- and the job market is still tight. There might also be supply chain issues if they're replacing all the strands.

↩ replying to MisterPenguinIt was going to be all new hardware, and the people are available to do it. This is one news item I posted that I wouldn't mind being wrong about ;)
