I went to Disney in 1986 and this is how I remember the electric parade. This is the original soundtrack that is in tune with all the floats. Thanks for the 1985 version!
What EXCELLENT and MAGICAL footage of this classic! It brings me back to when I saw this back in 1985 and it’s everything like I remembered. Thank you so much for sharing! 👍😃👏👏👏👏
Wow!! I liked that you have the entire parade on tape, including the closing fanfare and the Return to Oz unit. 1985 was a good year for this parade since it added new parade floats and didn't receive any more until 2009 with the addition of Tinker Bell.
This is awesome! I’ve always loved the music loop for the Return to Oz unit. It’s so great to finally see it live on video! I find it interesting that it was placed between the Alice in Wonderland and Cinderella units. That’s exactly where the Swan Lake unit was placed in the original Tokyo Disneyland and Disneyland Paris versions of the parade. Great job!👍
too bad the sections on both coasts were removed (ours destroyed by fire and Florida's was dismantled. they should have saved the Florida set and sent it to Paris with the rest of their floats since the music is heard in the Storybookland Boat Ride at the end of it.
*FUN FACT* this was the debut year for: Alternating Text on the drum Alice Whirly bugs with sound effects Return To Oz New Ballroom float 2 2-ring Circus floats which had previously been floats in "America On Parade" Snow White section
don't hold your breath. there were 2 main reasons why the soundtrack was change (1. to add more Disney tunes and 2. to keep the tempo the same the whole way through, this version had and odd tempo, mostly 2 beat with 1 bar of music with 3 beats,. choreographers didn't like the odd tempo so they had it changed when Tokyo Disneyland Electrical Parade Dreamlights debuted in June 2001 and 8 years later it was heard here in the U. with 3 new sequences added that weren't in Dreamlights (4 if you count the Dumbo music that wasn't added because they got rid of that section before the soundtrack changed in 2009.
I don't want to get too technical, but I think it was the original sawtooth wave oscillation that gave the original soundtrack its 'edge.' Yes, that was a pun and I don't care. It's true! All the newer renditions sound too 'round' to get me excited.
That moment when the lights would shut off... *shivers* I saw footage from the 2022 version and they don't do it anymore. That was the appetizer for the whole thing!
YES!!! We finally have footage of the Return to Oz floats. They're amazing!

at least none that stayed for more than a year. there was the Birthday Cake float in '88 and a 35th anniversary float IN '90.
Geeker82 I have been trying for the last 15 minutes to find a visual recording of the return to oz float and I have finally found it

That‘s interesting. I didn’t know that about the Florida set, or that they should’ve moved it to Paris.
Excellent video! You got the whole show! This is the first time I’ve seen the Return To Oz float on video. Thanks for sharing this!
When i little girl in the 1980s i saw main street electronical parade 1985 with return to oz unit
And then in the future u realized that float was never coming back
Finally some footage of the return to oz float
*FUN FACT* this was the debut year for:
Alternating Text on the drum
Alice Whirly bugs with sound effects
Return To Oz
New Ballroom float
2 2-ring Circus floats which had previously been floats in "America On Parade"
Snow White section
This may be the best footage of this parade I've seen. Well done.
It's time to bring back the classic music of the Main Street electrical parade.

I don't know what video you watched but they definitely still do it.
yea but they have like Lights using to open the parade@@Chaneloweenz
Happy 100th Anniversary, Disney!
Omg you have footage of the return to Oz float that caught on fire. I there there was only one video of it but now there’s two. Wow.
The float that was in the parade was to celebrate 30 years of disneyland
I can totally understand why they got rid of the return to oz float you couldn’t see any of the people
And also the movie Return to Oz was a box office bomb.
Also it burned down. It literally caught fire.
Watching this makes me think of Running up that hill by Kate Bush
with oz
Found this video recommended also what's Oz?
It's the guy who made the Apple computer.
