So disappointed with the new parade, Spetromagic was our favoutite, this seemed so lacklustre…floats were pretty but as stated elsewhere the misic was Meh and the dancers/walkers were just uninsspiring, overall not for us! Seems of late that Disney entertainment have no idea what makes something ‘Magical’ like the old imagineers did.

I'll be at WDW next week, so I'll see what I think.

Count me among the Spectromagic lovers. I didn't hate the MSEP but I certainly didn't love the music, which was kinda like the "music" that plays during the EWP.

For a PP who wasn't sure what nighttime parade they saw, Spectromagic's theme song was a waltz, which is one the reasons I liked the parade so much.

I don't understand the negative comments (not from this thread). Parades and fireworks are not meant to be viewed through streaming. It's impossible to capture the true size, colors, sound, etc,. The "low-energy" criticism is weird. You can't feel the real energy unless you're there in person.

We saw our first nighttime parade, Paint the Night, last month at DL. Videos of it always looked meh and I didn’t really care if we saw it or not but in person, wow we all absolutely loved it. Please don’t judge it if you haven’t seen it in person. Parades are not meant to be seen on a screen, same goes for firework shows.

I was there last night and the new parade is great. The floats are very very impressive and the entire parade is very fun. I would highly recommend it I really enjoyed it

I can recall being at Disney several years ago and they had some sort of nighttime lighted parade. No idea if it was called Electric Parade or Spectromagic, but we enjoyed it. Pictures I have seen online of this new version seem similar.

We did a behind the scenes tour many years ago and they talked about how the music for various parades is coordinated with sensors buried in the street along the parade route. Perhaps they are still fine-tuning all of the details of this latest parade.

SpectroMagic ended in 2010, and Main Street Electrical Parade ended in 2016

Had 2 showings tonight. Not sure if they were any different than last nights.
