I am actually more happy to hear PTN will still be around. Having grown up with the MSEP I am already over it. At least for some people they will get to see it finally!
They sure do! It still rolls out and confuses tens of guests nightly.
I still wish they didn't reuse the Dreamlights music for most of the parade.Having grown up with MSEP, I was decidedly underwhelmed when I saw the newer version in FL last year. The music was inferior to the original Don Dorsey score. I missed the circus unit and the Bedknobs Lion, who was always a crowd pleaser. I hated the new costumes and the dumbed-down choreography. Finally, the long gaps between units was just pathetic.
Well it is suppose to be a more updated version of MSEP. The finale even did a perfect mix of the theme during the small world section.I kinda wish Dreamlights had its own soundtrack. Seems kind of lame to rearrange to score from an old classic.
Why not just call it the MSEP then?
Because the parade isn't actually played in Main Street due to a different parade route.Why not just call it the MSEP then?
I actually wished they kept the original MSEP audio for it's 2009 return and kept the Dreamlights soundtrack for Tokyo. The current music used at WDW kind of loses it's meaning until you see Tokyo Disneyland Electrical Parade Dreamlights in person. It's even better during thee Christmas season since it remixes the usual music with Christmas medleys.Well, its full title is Tokyo Disneyland Electrical Parade Dreamlights. The original parade there was called Tokyo Disneyland Electrical Parade, as they don't have Main Street (World Bazaar Electrical Parade doesn't have the same ring to it). Dreamlights was meant to be an updated and more elaborate remake of the original parade and it's truly breathtaking in person.
The soundtrack starts full synth, recreating the sound of the original. As the parade progresses, the music becomes more orchestral, until the finale unit brings a bombastic symphonic arrangement of the theme. It works really well when you're watching the parade, and the transitions are very subtle.
In my mind it's the gold standard for light parades right now, and I LOVE PTN. Love it. But Dreamlights still beats it in my book.
Am I the only one who actually liked the concept of Light Magic?Dreamlights doesn't look that impressive compared to PTN but definitely better than Light Magic though.
But the special effects on the floats (Especially the Small World section)Dreamlights doesn't look that impressive compared to PTN but definitely better than Light Magic though.

Welp. Guess I am.

Your love for WDW makes me not want to ever go there. It sounds like a third rate carnival.
Woah... talk about OLD.
