The Main Street Electrical Parade is a regularly scheduled parade, created by Bob Jani and project director Ron Miziker, famous for its long run at Disneyland at the Disneyland Resort most summers between 1972–1974, 1977–1982, and 1985-1996. It 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.

On the 2008 Walt Disney World Christmas Day Parade special, Disney announced that a Tinker Bell
float would be added to Disney's Electrical Parade, which would make it
the first new float to be added to the classic parade in 20 years,
since the temporary Mickey Mouse's 60th Birthday float in 1988 |

ReplyDeleteI'll bet the LED lights have made a difference in their electric bill. I can't imagine having to maintain all those lights! Oh, my job is bulb-changer at Disneyworld for 8 hours a shift. Yikes! Meemur
