I love that they had Mickey greet the parade as they rolled backstage ❤🥰😍 too bad I didn't get to see the parade in person until it was brought to California Adventure
I attended the original “final night” of MSEP on October 15, 1996, not knowing it was extended until November. Fast forward 2001 when I was a cast member at Disneyland hopping over to Disney California Adventure to see parade as Disney’s Electrical Parade from 2001-2010. Then, in 2017, tears of happiness filled my eyes when I saw Casey Jr coming down Main Street USA again. This parade will never GLOW away!
Thank you so much for sharing this! I was there that night with my mom and sister. We saw the first performance in Fantasyland, by the Mad Tea Party and the final performance in Town Square, in front of Disneyland Emporium. I've never heard Disneyland louder than that night when the final announcement was heard. We all just lost our minds for the parade.
@@cartarsaucetheatre9363 Positively bonkers! I loved it, but it was also so bittersweet. A moment in time you never really let go. If you have the full video of the final performance, I hope you upload that one too.
@@cartarsaucetheatre9363 I understand! You can’t blame me for trying. This is literally only the second amateur vid of the parade I have seen here on You Tube. Kudos!
although in 2016 they used every float in '96 only 27 of the 29 floats were used (Pink & Blue mushrooms were de-bulbed to get a head start on bulb shipping.
@@disneydanny2 They used just about every float in 2016, but the Dumbo unit was completely omitted and the Blue Fairy was missing since that unit retired before the 2009 revamp of the parade for Summer Nightastic at Disneyland.
I am PI §§€D off. Where do they get off on taking away Main Street Electrical Parade? For those of us who have enjoyed the MSEP we are appalled by this! How dare you remove this iconic Parade without FIRST asking those of us who Cherish this parade if we want it gone? My entire family has been enjoying Disneyland and the Main Street Electrical Parade for 54 years. I'm not sure with SO MANY CHANGES and NOT having the MSEP any longer that well spend our vacation's there at Disneyland any longer. I Truly HOPE that THEY bring BACK Disneyland's Main Street Electrical Parade 😪

I’m not sure about that one. Good question, part of me thinks they’ve changed their max occupancy since 1996 so this last night might still hold the record. Who knows.
the worst decision they ever made replacing it with that trash Light Tragic ahem Magic which lasted only one season they learned from their mistake. now it's back where it belongs and never should have left. next year celebrating 50 non-consecutive years.

It’s always nice to see it again after it’s glowed away forever again. 😂
Yeah, especially since Disneyland is now obsessed with bringing it back
Man I just wanna go in the time machine and relieve this

it was absolutely crazy loud for that last one. So glad I video taped it.

I put all I had on this upload. I think things just got too nuts to record for that last one, lol

This was a much better send off for the MSEP than the one that it got from WDW back in 2016.

The Final Performance of the Main Street Electrical Parade is a lot of fun!!
missing street electrical parade so so so much i saw it in 1985 with rare return oz unit and 2017
That is super rare. I remember that as a kid but mostly from the soundtrack, they never really removed it for the longest time.

*HOW* is it even possible it's been *25 YEARS* now?
Totally insane
Paul Pressler using Walt Disney’s words to justify what they were doing to the parade always disgusts me. That’s not what Walt Disney meant. SMH...
So did the final night break the Haunted Mansion Aug 15th record?
I’m not sure about that one. Good question, part of me thinks they’ve changed their max occupancy since 1996 so this last night might still hold the record. Who knows.
6:36 Are you guys ready to pull the switch.
I was there.
7:13 Here we go.

It was a dark time at the parks bc of that guy. I hear ya.
