Main Street Electical Parade

[Aroel]

Hi, all!
Does MSEP run everyday for sure, weather permitting? The 2 days we'll be at MK, times are not posted. Does that mean no parade or does it mean the time hasn't been decided yet?

Thanks! Happy New Year!

If the time isn't posted, then there is no parade. If I am wrong, someone I know will correct me

If you are going at a quiet time, such as January, the parade may only be on select nights. If this is the case, and you have park hoppers, then you could go to MK for just the evening. If you don't have park hoppers, and really want to see the parade, just keep in mind that MK will be busy as so many people will chose that day just because of the parade.

If your trip is a ways off, keep in mind that Disney will often change their hours and add things, such as more parades, as it gets a bit closer. I know that when we were first looking at going President's week in Feb., the parade was only offered on a few nights. Then they updated and the parade is actually offered 2X each night that week. So, basically it went from 3 times to 14.

I will also add that if you are scheduling your MK days based on crowd calendars, you will never see the electrical parade. It is only on select nights, thus those days are always busier. In December we did one park in the morning, then hopped to MK for the evening, using FP+ for Wishes and EP. It was awesome.

This is great info. We'll go on the 1 night it's offered, which is next week. I was hoping to turn in early that day because we have CRT the next morning. But we'll stick it out! thank you!
