Main Street Electrical Parade returning to Magic Kingdom

Earlier this year Disney announced that the Main Street Electrical Parade will return to the Magic Kingdom for a limited time as part of their “Summer Nightastic!” entertainment package. The Main Street Electrical Parade is expected to resume in June 2010 for the first time since 2001.

The Main Street Electrical Parade at Magic Kingdom is fondly remembered by millions of Walt Disney World visitors who watched the spectacle of lights in Florida before the parade floats were moved to Disney’s California Adventure park in 2001, and this summer the Main Street Electrical Parade will return to delight audiences of all ages once again.

Since 2001, Magic Kingdom has presented the SpectroMagic parade on select nights, which has similar music and special effects featuring Disney characters waving from the parade floats. SpectroMagic had its first run at the Magic Kingdom in 1991 – 1999, before resuming in 2001. The Main Street Electrical Parade was a regular feature at Magic Kingdom from 1977 – 1991, and has not been seen at Walt Disney World since its brief comeback from 1999 – 2001.
