Great Video, always loved watching this parade from the Train Station, sad it's long gone but so pleased to have seen it several times & to find your HD recording of the finale.
I agree. The beautiful picture in HD, plus the great long shots at the end with everything winding around the route is spectacular. It helps to have the view from a higher vantage point. The sound quality is great, too.
the nite my high school band and I performed in, we got back to see the end b4 it was over at I started 2 cry right at 1:16 in this vid when i saw it but it was a few months later than this vid. i was soo proud of us.
I think that might be true. I was in Disneyland the first part of January and was amazed at how hard it was for the Christmas parade to make it through the parade route. Not much room and not much room for the crowds along the sides. Don't get me wrong, I love Disneyland, but the Magic Kingdom seems better for parades. I'd love to see Spectro Magic some day.
now if Disnryland's parade route were 4 feet wider then it miight work (MK's parade route is 4 feet wider thjan disneyland's and when parade floats are built they are built to match the width of the route)
This was first. Electrical Parade replaced it, then this replaced electrical, and now electrical parade is showing again. Disney now switches them so in a few months they will show this again.
i miss the parade, dont get me wrong the electrical parade is good but it doesnt have the emotion like this one does. i miss it and i hope they bring it back soon! :(
Someone plz help I heard the parade could come back but idk if it's true. I know alot of the floats were destroyed but that prices were saved for "future use". How long before you think they'll rebuild it? Do you think it may be different? What if in the future they combine the main street electrical parade and spectromagic? I just hope they use the spectromagic song
I heard there was also a chance that Disney world could get Pain the Night. If that's the case my guess is that they'd repurpose some of the original Spectromagic floats for it.
They're missing some stuff, I don't see the beautiful peacock or the dudes on those rainbow spheres... The early 90's version is still the best IMO. Check out some of those videos.
It worked in 2010, went under refurbishment before it left and had test runs in 2012. Thats just an excuse for the Disney company to run a cheaper parade and save more money even you know they already made cutbacks and jacked up the prices. I hope Disneyland takes up Spectromagic, they arrant afraid to spend money.
@ejeremy98 i saw that this summer...i was like what is this music ewwh what happened it looks so cheap no like they just wrapped the people in christmas lights
There is no way this even remotely holds a candle to the Main Street Electrical Parade. This is it's blatant rip-off with little creativity and the most boring of all parade soundtracks!!

That is because this is only the last 4 minutes of the parade. This angle and the audio are terrific, though. Thanks for posting this.

It crushes me every time I go there knowing I ain't be seeing this show
Me, too!
mollydtt The worse part is that they didnt replace it with something better or anywhere near as good. And they said it would come back.
thank you for letting me see spectomagic in HD!!!!!!

This parade can make a grown man cry.
I Remember This. :)
Lol I was going to reply to this again saying the same sort of thing. Ive been here already!! Just searching to see if its launched again x
If sources dont fail me we should be watching this again before long

@ejeremy98 It has the power to make you cry ! I want to see it again :-(
@mariaoz I think it is actually spectromagic, you can find it online... I downloaded it from Napster (i think), best money I ever spent :-)
I miss SpectroMagic =(
@omg122448 good!!! i hope its back by the time i go back this summer ((:
Why are these floats so spread out with big gaps between them. They used to all be a lot closer together.
now if Disnryland's parade route were 4 feet wider then it miight work (MK's parade route is 4 feet wider thjan disneyland's and when parade floats are built they are built to match the width of the route)

California Adventure Parade route is wider... they should have sent it to here in Exchange of the Electrical Parade
The current Main Street electrical parade sucks compared to this.i used to love this as a kid and now it's gone :(
yes, what camera did you use? its sounds like it was equipped with 5.1 surround sound recording. thats awsome!
The electric parade is horrible, this outshines it by a million
more HD PPPPlease
I have wondered this too...it used to look a lot better when they were close together. Now the finale doesn't look as impressive.
Wrong. The Main Street Electrical Parade came first, in 1972 to DL, then WDW got its own MSEP in 1977. SpectroMagic didn't come around until 1991.
i miss the parade, dont get me wrong the electrical parade is good but it doesnt have the emotion like this one does. i miss it and i hope they bring it back soon! :(
@Bcoraline2 Dopey is on the float before the rest of the dwarves. :)
So is SpectroMagic coming back or did WDW do away with it?

unfortunatly the Spectromagic floats are too wide for Disneyland's parade route.
latest rumor is that the floats are damaged beyond repair
Goose Bumps!

@ejeremy98 This ending alone is is pretty much the whole electrical parade clusered together. The Electrical Parade is a Joke.
@andrewdisney1 They are, sort of! or something!

@andrewdisney1 unfortunately no :[
i think they should have the blue fairy like they had in the electrical parade :D just saying
@ejeremy98 i saw that this summer...i was like what is this music ewwh what happened it looks so cheap no like they just wrapped the people in christmas lights
You guys are getting a new parade and where stuck with your Electrical Parade.
They are, sort of! or something!

WDW Should not get Paint the Night! it think this is one Disneyland should Expand on and keep
