Msep or Spectro.....what's you fav?

[Jennygt]

I have not seen msep since I was little. I really loved Spectro, I don't know the story behind why it was switched back from Spectro to msep. Can anyone tell me the backstory on this, if there is one?
Which parade do you like better?
As I have only seen msep on you tube not sure it's fair to judge...but I think I like Spectro better. I will be happy to watch msep when I go but was wondering what other dissers thought about them both.

I loved Spectromagic, since it really fits the nighttime feeling at the Magic Kingdom before seeing the fireworks. Something about the music in the parade sends chills down my spine mainly the main theme and the Spectromen. While I like MSEP, it doesn't give me that good nighttime feel I had with Spectro.

I agree, something with the music is not as moving to me.

Spectromagic for sure. The music is so much better. MSEP is ok but I really miss Spectro.

MSEP all the way for me. While there were parts of Spectromagic I enjoyed it just didn't have the same feel. The music seemed to get annoying after about the third time through and then weird clown ball things just weirded me out. Give me a giant Elliott any day.

MSEP!! The music makes me dance everytime!! I liked spectro but prefer MSEP.

Lol those clowns were a little creepy

I say Spectromagic, I always liked seeing it. Still like MSEP but on the whole I don't think it's as amazing as spectro

I haven't seen the new MSEP, but I'll always love Spectro.

My understanding is all the floats and everything was destroyed.

Spectra by a long short in our family.

Saw Paint the Night at Disneyland last night. Blown away.

Destroyed? Really? Was there a fire or something

I will also say I love spectromagic. I was personally bummed when they brought back MSEP. I like the floats and the music better with spectro. To me, I think MSEP is too whimsical. I think I might have enjoyed it more when I was younger, but now that I'm no longer a kid I miss spectro. I could listen to the soundtrack for spectro for hours.

There was a story a few years back that the floats were found destroyed in a dumpster.

Spectromagic...but the new Paint the night parade at DL blows both of them away. It is amazing!

 

[DOOM1001]

Spectromagic was much better,I used to make it a point to see it whenever I was in MK,MSEP,I don't care if I miss it!!The music and the way it played with the floats was much better than MSEP which just gets annoying after awhile.Music is a big thing with a lot of these parades and firework shows,it's a big reason why I love Illuminations and could watch it daily if I could.Has it really been 5 years since Spectromagic was retired?They said it was going on a hiatus with MSEP filling in so I thought,cool,it'll be cool to see a different one for a while.Right after I saw MSEP in 2010 ,which I did see as a kid,I already wanted Spectro to come back which it never did,I've been upset at Disney since.

 

[PhoenixWright]

SpectroMagic all the way!

...although, I suppose I'm a little biased, I worked at the Magic Kingdom where I saw the thing almost every night and it grows on ya.

 

[winthropf]

Definitely Spectro

 

[karrit2000]

Another Spectro fan here. I loved the music. I can't stand the MSEP music and I make every effort to avoid watching it when I'm in MK.

Saw the video and was blown away too. WDW needs to get that parade ASAP. SO much better than MSEP!
