    Sometimes the horses are pulled due to pedestrian traffic on Main Street.

The only reasons streetcars would be down is: Track rehabilitation, air quality, high numbers of guests on Main Street USA, thunder, lightning, strong winds, slanted rain, earthquake, filming, etc. And they run until up to two hours before the first parade due to crowds on the burs of Main Street.
