Steve Davison working on a new electrical parade?

I user on the WDWForum named "Jose" just mentioned that he got info from Steve Davison that he's working on a new electrical parade at the Magic Kingdom. It could possibly be at Walt Disney World.

It would not surprise me at all!

Did Davison do 'Paint the Night'? That has been a big success by all accounts.

I watched 'Paint the Night' on Thursday with my WDW CM friend who was out in Hollywood for an event. We were both amazed at the technology as well as the variety of characters and the diversity of the performers. We also heard that a new parade is in the works for MK - info was presented as a fact rather than a rumor.

I do love MSEP, but a new show could be good, especially if it's a newer more modern version of MSEP. I hope it's different than Paint the Night. It seems to be cheating to port the same exact show from one park to the other.

With the 50th anniversary just 6 years, I would imagine (hope?) there's a lot of new stuff headed our way at WDW.

Magic Kingdom is at WDW. Disneyland is in California.

I've heard Disneyland referred to as Magic Kingdom when I've been there.

Doesnt make it correct.

I think it might be a different person, after seeing the announcement months ago.

WDW threw a big celebration for Walt's 100th Birthday in 2002 - 2003. So I wonder what will be in store for it's 50th?

I hope the new parade can have more floats. Last time I seen any Disney park do that was Tokyo Disneyland Electrical Parade Dreamlights in Tokyo Disneyland and Spectromagic.

Some members on the WDW Forum don't believe yet.

I'll be there next month, I'll watch out for it. I know I've seen it, I was surprised they referred to it as Magic Kingdom.

While half these parks are closing or under construction, and half my friends are CMs, and I go throughout the week multiple days, I have heard nothing about a new Elec Parade. Definitely will ask, but not heard anything yet. My alarm clock is Elec parade music.

Davison led the creative team for 'Paint the Night' in Hong Kong and Disneyland.

I think it's definitely about time that a new night parade show up at WDW. Spectro died a painful and unfortunate death when MSE was brought in. I'd love to see something top the awesome factor of Festival of Fantasy!

'Paint the Night' definitely excels in awesomeness! We watched from Town Square - the beginning of the 2nd parade of the night - and from step-off it was apparent the parade was beyond magical!!

For CM friend, who is also a parade (FoF, MSEP) performer, it was a highlight and was described as being well beyond the awesome level of FoF.

All the new parade needs is more floats and won't feel short similar to Spectromagic but something new.

"Magic Kingdom" has long been an informal nickname for Disneyland. As I recall, the name was used in the recordings on the DL Railroad, when it was referred to (uniquely) as "Walt Disney's Magic Kingdom".
At WDW, it's not a nickname - it's the actual name of the park. (And to flip the coin entirely, the unofficial nickname is not infrequently taken by guests to be "Disneyworld"!)
