Main Street Electrical Parade Has Been Extended

This is such exciting news. If you were not able to go to Disney World this summer, Magic Kingdom in particular you are in for a real treat. Disney has decided to extend The Main Street Electrical Parade indefinitely. The last time this wonderful electrical parade was at Magic Kingdom was the summer of 1996. This parade features floats and live performers covered in thousands of electronically-controlled lights and a synchronized soundtrack triggered by radio control along key areas of the parade route. For it's return to Magic Kingdom Disney has added a Tinerbell float as well as Pinocchio and the boys from the classic film’s Pleasure Island sequence join the parade, and Snow White joins the Seven Dwarfs on a diamond mine float.
