I have to agree, I enjoy MSEP but Spectromagic has a much magical atmosphere compared to MSEP. It leaves an impact especially during the final with various classic Disney characters and the music for when the lights to all white really makes it a perfect farewell to your favorite Disney characters. If the parade ever made a comeback, they should get ride of the animatronic Jiminy Cricket and get the actual Jiminy Cricket that was seen in the Festival Of Fantasy Parade and maybe add a few obscure Disney characters for the finale including two or three new floats.That was my favorite parade. I last saw it in early 2009 and had hoped it would be there on my next trip to the World in 2012. Unfortunately, we know that didn't happen. I always wish it was still around esp for my DBF to see since he never got the chance. There was just something about Spectro that was magical for me. We saw MSEP in 2012 and it just didn't do it for me. I would rather go on rides now that sit through MSEP lol!

Possibly for Walt Disney World's 50th Anniversary, since Spectromagic debuted for Walt Disney World's 20th Anniversary back in 1991Unfortunately, the parade floats were destroyed so no hope for a comeback. It would be nice though if the next night time parade at the MK paid some sort of tribute to Spectro.
I hope the Magic Kingdom might get's a new electrical parade similar to Spectromagic if it reaches it's 50th Anniversary in 2021.I grew up with MSEP, so I was never a huge fan of SpectroMagic, but I did enjoy the Chernabog float and the newer use of lighting/technology at the time. That Mickey float was a pretty spectacular way to start things off.
I am disappointed they cannot bring it back since it was way more up to date than MSEP, and after seeing "Paint the Night" on youtube...I wish they would get a new nighttime parade now. I would fondly bid farewell to Casey Jr and Elliot the Dragon if we got something shiny and new.
Me too! I was glad they changed over to painted faces and got rid of this masks.I used to be creeped out by the Spectromen, but I started to like them over the years. I wish I could understand what some of them said though.
