Main Street Electrical Parade Extends Run

The lights will remain on as Disney’s “Main Street Electrical Parade’s” run at the Walt Disney World® Resort has been extended. By popular demand, the parade at Magic Kingdom® Park will continue an open-ended run when “Summer Nightastic!” ends on August 14.

The parade has been one of the highest rated entertainment experiences at Magic Kingdom® Park since returning in early June. It’s been an “overwhelming success,” according to Park Vice President Phil Holmes. And now, you’ll be able to continue cheering and humming “Baroque Hoedown.”

Of course, new elements of Disney’s “Main Street Electrical Parade” will continue during the encore phase of the run. Those include:

• Tinker Bell leads the eye-filling procession, waving from the basket of a balloon floating gracefully above a magical garden shimmering in fairy light.
• Pinocchio and the boys from the classic film’s Pleasure Island sequence join the parade, and Snow White joins the Seven Dwarfs on a diamond mine float.
• There are new lighting effects, and the parade’s highly recognizable musical theme is brightened by new technology.
