This is my favorite parade, well worth the the 2 hour line-up time for a curb seat at the castle. Brings back nostalgia and feels like a classic Disney childhood moment (even though I didn’t see it till I was a teenager). Much better than Spectromagic, which is just show-biz gee whiz – no emotion to it at all.
I’ll watch both performances tonight in tribute; its one of my favourite things to do in the Kingdom 🙂
Jennifer – Thanks for sharing all of these. Seeing the Main Street Electrical Parade going down the highway brought chills to my arms and a HUGE smile to my face. How cool would it have been there to be there and see that?!?!
