Forgotten MSEP floats?

Seeing that Disney is taking another stab at the Wizard of Oz franchise for an upcoming movie made me suddenly remember this.

I have a version of the Baroque Hoedown from the Main Street Electrical Parade that has a bit of an extra theme interwoven near the end.


I remember tracking down the theme music, it turned out to be from Disney's critically panned Return to Oz film.

Now I know the film (I actually like it) but I don't ever recall there being floats in that parade to correspond with this particular music.

So can any experts here help...
Was there ever a float or two based on the movie in that parade?

And if not, is there an explanation for why this music exists in the soundtrack?

And in a similar vein...were there ever other floats designed for the Electrical parade that were used for a limited time...or maybe in a different park?

And most important of all...do you have pics? :D

There was a Return to Oz float used in 1985 in Disneyland's version of the parade. Wikipedia has a list of every incarnation of the parade and floats past and present.
