You mean this?

Oh wow... I never saw that parade before... Well I guess that makes sense, since the last time I was at Disneyland was in 1997. XD (I did go a few months ago, but for only 4 hours)

[Sombolia]

Awesome!

I saw the electric parade in '02...

[Sharifu]

I grew up watching the Electric Light Parade, it was so awesome. I haven't seen it in 11 years though! Geez wow... Yet I remember it so well.

Walt Disney's Parade of Dreams

The first 30 seconds or so of the clip is of the Lion King float. Check out the audio animatronic-ness wonder! Notice Simba and Nala's smooth, fluid motions- Ooh, aah!

It's even more exciting to see the float in person. Simba does a dance and sings along to IJCW2BK, and does his roar, of course!

The rest of the movie is of the Alice in Wonderland 'show stop.' Notice the guys with film cameras- this movie was taken during a special preview day before the parade officially began.

Remember...Dreams Come True
Here, have a fireworks show too!
I did not take this movie (neither the one of the parade), but I was there the night this was taken, May 5th, the first night they started this spectacular show. It is truly astounding in every way! Julie Andrews is the narrator, and she tells a fairy tale of the making of Disneyland. Then, of course, is the flight of Tinker Bell, as she lights up Sleeping Beauty Caste with her pixie dust! The 17-minute show is filled with "E-tickets in the sky," as all the different lands and attractions are portrayed in the medium of fireworks- including Disneyland Railroad and Main Street Electrical Parade, Tiki Room, Indiana Jones, Haunted Mansion, Pirates of the Caribbean, Big Thunder, Fanasyland, Space Mountain, & Star Tours. It is truly needed to be seen to be believed. Firework locations are all around the castle and in the 'hub' area, truly creating an immersive entertainment experience from all sides.

Aww, I can't get those movies to work. But 2 Die FR, whenever I read what you say about the new things at Disneyland, I get all excited! I can't wait to go to Disneyland this August to see all the new things! I'm going with my mom and sis, and hopefully I can take STM with us. (He'll be here again in California then)
