Main Street Electrical Parade is now home

Main Street Electrical Parade has officially returned to Disneyland® Park. Check out this “spectacular festival pageant of nighttime magic and imagination” now through June 18!

From the moment it made its debut back in 1972, this Parade was an instant classic, unlike any that came before. As day turns to night, anticipation turns to excitement as the parade’s thousands of sparkling lights and distinctive, unforgettable signature song – “Baroque Hoedown” – makes its way down Main Street USA and right into the hearts of millions of guests. With favorites like Cinderella’s Carriage, Pete’s Dragon and, of course, Mickey Mouse, it’s easy to see why this shimmering celebration has been beloved for decades.

So, whether you are seeing the Main Street Electrical Parade for the first or five hundredth time, make sure you don’t miss this rare and wonderful opportunity to experience this storied icon from Disneyland history before it goes away.

Main Street Electrical Parade Leaving Magic Kingdom

As originally reported on Disney Parks Blog, it is a sad night to report that The Main Street Electrical Parade, Magic Kingdom Park’s long-running nighttime parade last run will be October 9.  After that the parade will head to Disneyland Resort for a limited-time showing.


Main Street Electrical Parade is a nighttime procession filled with glowing, spinning floats that honor favorite Disney characters.  Some of the Animated Disney films that are represented include “Alice In Wonderland,” “Cinderella,” "Pete's Dragon," "Peter Pan," "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,"  and more.  Tinker Bell lights the way with a wave of her wand and orchestrates half a million shimmering lights synchronized to a memorable soundtrack.

If you’re planning to visit the Walt Disney World Resort to the see the parade one last time at Magic Kingdom Park before it ends its run, remember that Main Street Electrical Parade is not offered on Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party nights.

If you feel the need to go to Walt Disney World and see The Main Street Electrical Parade one more time (like I do), email me lauren@magicaltravel.com today! Availability is extremely low for the fall! 

Preview "Pete's Dragon" at Disneyland and Walt Disney World!

As of Friday July 1, 2016, you can watch a sneak-peak preview of scenes from Disney’s all-new “Pete’s Dragon” at Disney California Adventure® Park at Disneyland® Resort and Disney’s Hollywood Studios® at Walt Disney World® Resort.

At Disney’s Hollywood Studios, the preview of “Pete’s Dragon” will be presented as part of the One Man’s Dream attraction, while Disney California Adventure Park Guests will get to see this advance look at clips from the film in 3D with special in-theater effects at the Sunset Showcase Theater in Hollywood Land.

I'm very excited for this live-remake as the original "Pete's Dragon" movie from 1977 was a childhood favorite of mine.  The family-friendly film, is the adventure of an orphaned boy named Pete and his best friend Elliot, who just so happens to be a dragon.  In the new version, Pete is a big furrier than the Pete in the original movie.  The reimagined version of “Pete’s Dragon” opens in theaters in 3D on Aug. 12, 2016.

Are you looking forward to this re-make? Let me know in the comments!
