News Main Street Electrical Parade and A Christmas Fantasy Parade to return

[mickEblu]

You know what? Fine.

Is it a hokey little parade that should've been retired 20 years ago? Yes.

Will I still watch and enjoy the parade like I'm in a toxic on-again/off-again relationship? Absolutely.

Seriously. What’s the difference between MSEP or riding some of these ancient dark rides? I think people complain about MSEP because at some point they were duped about it going away forever. And no one likes being duped.

My thoughts are that it shouldn’t be retired. It should be plussed and brought into the 21st century with some new IP while keeping the classic stuff and not altering the soundtrack.

MSEP Is the Quintessential Disneyland parade. It’s grandfathered in at this point and should always have a place at Disneyland.

I unabashedly love Main Street Electrical Parade and will FIGHT anybody over it.

The TikTok comments are split between "Bring back PTN!" and "Why is MSEP going to the park not celebrating its 50th anniversary?"

but the parade is celebrating its 50th anniversary at disneyland next year

Anybody else have chills hearing that music again after so long?

if the electrical water pageant can run for 50 years, so can the main street electrical parade

Since Disney now owns "The Book of Life" and it's almost Halloween. Did Disney give the Medal of Everlasting Life to the Casey Jr float?

Put on your boxing gloves. I’ve got mine on.

This decrepit parade must go.

Meanwhile some WDW fans are waiting for a successor to Spectromagic (WDW's only electrical parade exclusively for them).

Unless your a Japanese local to Tokyo Disney Resort (since the current MSEP score is reused from Dreamlights with a slight altercations) then no.

If I heard the Spectro fanfare from any official Disney Parks outlet, I'd probably vomit out of happiness.

I wish they'd bring MSEP back to WDW

I'm completely fine if they leave it at Disneyland indefinitely. Even in its vastly reduced state with a re recorded soundtrack, the parade is quintessential Disneyland and as charming as it gets. Which that park desperately needs right now.

 

[Disney Analyst]

Bring back PTN you cowards.

 

[Sailor310]

I dislike the theme song. Have always thought the parade was cheap from day one. Apologies to the lovers.

 

[jrhwdw]

Bring back PTN you cowards.

As well would be fine with me! I mean if Disney only did PTN: Somewhere today......Everyone would up in arms because DL isn't celebrating MSEP's 50th! So, you can't please anyone really??

MSEP shouldn't be celebrating 50 years... it's a parade, that was supposed to glow away many many years ago. Let it dieeeee.

What about EWP??? Granted it never came back from the dead, just COVID Lockdown.

 

[Disney Analyst]

What about EWP???

That's just a thing that happens on the water that most people don't even watch, doesn't really matter to me.

 

[mickEblu]

Is there something inherently about a parade that needs to be temporary? Especially when it occurs intermittently amongst other parades?

 

[PiratesMansion]

Guess who's back....back again.....
If they could just kindly send PTN to a park that would actually run it, that would be great.

This is something I’d never support. Not after the way Florida damaged some of our floats.

WDW needs its own parade. Fans stay looking at Disneyland’s parades to head to Florida. No.
