      This parade marked one of the happiest days of my entire childhood. My first time to Disneyland. 1978. The way the robotic voice just seemed to emanate from every corner of the park like magic. It WAS magic. I am literally bawling like a baby listening to this.

    Back in 1990, sadly, my wife divorced me. I told my two children, then aged two and four that one day I would take them to Disneyland Paris. Three years later, after driving to Paris from England, after spending a day in Paris itself and after camping at a campsite near to Disneyland, my fantastic children, Rebecca and Joshua, unaware of where they were, got into the back seats of the car and together we drove along the motorway and onto the lovely drive to the Disneyland entrance. The look on their faces when they saw where they were will stay with me forever. If there is one parade that brings the tears to my eyes, raises the goosebumps and whells me up with the memories of the wonderful day we had there then it is this!

    It astonished me, when we were back in WDW this past April, how as soon as I heard this song a whole element of my childhood opened up in front of me and it almost brought me to tears. My daughter and I were on splash mountain, and after the big hill toward the end of the ride, we came out through the u turn and were right in the middle of the parade. First time I had heard the song since '84. We were laughing from the rush of the ride and from the thrill of being right there inundated with the lights and sounds of the MSEP, Disney never fails to amaze me.

    This song in peoples memories is like a tattoo that will never be replaced by nothing in a lifetime. I grew up watching the parade. I will never forget the lady bugs. And the green dragon spewing white smoke. I thank God that i watched it live. Many times.

    My 5 year old cousin slept through the whole thing when we actually went to this. She was out cold while all this music was playing. One of the characters on the floats noticed and did a sleeping motion to show that he saw her asleep. It was one of the dwarves. I wonder what my cousin was dreaming during the whole song.... o.o

I love this so much, sadly I cant go to the one this year, I went to Disneyland for the first time in summer of 2016, I went to the paint the night parade, cried so many tears of joy because it was my dream to go.

I wish this could return to the Disney park so other kids such a me can experience it just one more time. I went with my grandma because this parade means everything to her and much as it does to me. So Disney PLEASE bring back this parade!

The rides, the sights, the smells, the music..running around all day..just loving life..then the electrical parade. Man..once all the lights went out on the street it was on! After we would catch one more ride or two..a quick bite at the carnation Cafe..then back to the car to fall asleep on the ride home.
