I saw the MSEP in June 1996 when my mum and i was on a vacation in L.A for a fortnight from the U.K it was MAGICAL.I was 25 and this was my first and only visit to the U.S.A.I cried like a baby as i was so overwhelmed with just how beautifull it all was.This is a very interesting video.

They do. There are at least two versions of the parade, and every few years they move to a different park, usually for some big promotion. If we don’t get a new nighttime parade at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom in the next year or so (and we aren’t still under coronavirus restrictions by that time🤞🏼), I would expect it to return for the park’s 50th anniversary.
Main Street Electrical Parade is my all-time favorite Disney parade. Ever since the early nineties I've enjoyed getting to see it. I saw it one of the last times I went in 2015.
29:46 likely being driven to the maintenance warehouse (across from the prade warehouse) that's the *ONLY* reason i can think of why they'd be leaving the warehouse in broad *DAYLIGHT*
Disney is so amazing. I wish we can appreciate - even with all everything - how charming and inspiring it is and appreciate it for what it is. Escapism and magic and joy.
I have been looking for this video for so long. I remember this from the Disney Channel when it aired. We saw MSEP when it came back in 2010. Thank you guys for sharing this!
Fun Fact: Barnette Ricci is the voice of "Alice" on the "Tokyo Disneyland Electrical Parade" soundtrack and also voiced her in the Orange Bowl in '78 as well.
That Intro will never leave my mind. I hated it my Dad always wanted to see it. I wanted to get on the rides, Back in the day this was the best time to get on the rides. The Fire Works were nice aswell but you dont need to worry about getting the fast pass. This was the fast pass back in the 1980s and 90s.
and he's the reason we have the Closing announcement & closing fanfare (Don Dorsey didn't see a need for it in the theme park setting, but Bob, who was his boss, talked him into it)
@@coreyoilar6260 it's *NOT* Ellen. *HIS* name is Chuck Granger. He worked in the Parade department for man years before moving on to Disneyland Security.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D (i loved SpectroMagic!!!) so i have to agree with you. SpectroMagic is so much better that the MSEP!!! and SpectroMagic was just more magical!
Think it depends on whether you're an East Coast or West Coast person. I thought the Paint the Night parade was amazing technologically, but it just didn't have the simple whimsy of the MSEP and sounded too much like Disney for club kids. As I've never been to Florida and haven't seen Spectromagic, I can't compare. However, I spent many summer nights out on the parade route working GC while my husband, sister-in-law, and other friends danced down the route. I'm loving this seeing so many familiar faces...

I miss this parade. I wish they’d roll it back out every few years for us old nostalgic folks

I’ve seen it at magic kingdom and Disneyland just within the last few years.
5:18 Fun Fact: Ron Miziker’s jacket was salvaged from a worn out couch he found on the curb driving to Disneyland! LOL 😂
This is awesome. Extra special being a CM back then. Always enjoyed the Michael Iceberg musical versions

I was lucky enough to see TMSEP last year in Disneyland. They should never retire this fantastic spectacle.
I find it funny how they say “Tinker Bell stand by” even though Tink wasn’t played by an actual person until 2009 lol
I *THINK* the driver of the pirate ship controlled her spinning , so maybe they were talking to him on the headset.

You would think all of this stuff would be on Disney plus, but nope. Thank goodness for RetroWDW!

New subscriber. Love your channel!
When he said Bob Jani my jaw dropped. Thats the guy!

Maybe they’ll have this parade again when Disneyland reopens
23:50, did Ellen Degeneres ever drive one of these vehicles when she was younger?
That does look & sound like Ellen :D

This is obvious think about it. This thing was created right after woodstock 1969.
That's my husband as Lampwick...
I will tell you this much i was 4 years old. And bot could i tell you that music was a bunch of garbadge.
I give up..
I hated MSEP as it was very dated, Spectromagic was soooo much better.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D (i loved SpectroMagic!!!) so i have to agree with you. SpectroMagic is so much better that the MSEP!!! and SpectroMagic was just more magical!
@@andreamurphy-t6e Spector magic was great but the soundtrack for the MSEP was amazing. The original soundtrack tho not the crappy new one
