SpectroMagic! is an evening light parade that was presented nightly at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom. In 2010, it went on temporary hiatus during the “Summer Nightastic!” celebration so the Main Street Electrical Parade could return for the summer. After the summer, Walt Disney World kept the Main Street Electrical Parade around due to “popular demand.” It is fully expected that SpectroMagic! will return at some point in the near future, but when is unknown. SpectroMagic will not return for Summer 2012.
The SpectroMagic! music is one of the big draws of the parade (I love its music!), along with Jiminy Cricket’s classic introduction: ”Welcome to the splendor, the spectacle, the sparkling sensation; where the romance, the comedy and thrill of Disney fantasies come to electric life. And now the Magic Kingdom proudly presents, in a million points of musical light, the magical world of Disney in SpectroMagic!”
Here is a gallery of some of our favorite SpectroMagic! photos:
While I would love to see the Electric Parade just to see something different, I do love SpectroMagic and it never fails to impress. I love your pictures of chip and dale! And the music….ugh I hum it all the time. <3
MSEP was the first evening parade I saw (at Disneyland Paris) and, from a nostalgia point of view, I was excited to see it again when I visited Orlando last month.
Except, then I found myself missing Spectromagic! Fantillusion, at Disneyland Paris, is similar to Spectromagic so I guess I’ll have to get my fix there instead.
Spectromagic has long been a favorite of ours. The Main Street Electrical Parade is a great parade and a ton of fun, and it may be superior in execution. But for me, Spectromagic has no peer in the way it tugs on your heart strings. I’m glad we will see it again someday. In the meantime, the MSEP is a must-see!
Totally agree with you. I can’t wait to have SpectroMagic back!
I have come to a conclusion that if I want to relive my memories, I must come to see all of your photos. I enjoy absolutely all of them. You bring the memories back. I may still try to take my own photos with my little Kodak camera, but I will always come here when at home to see what you have posted for memories. Thank you so much.
Wow, thanks for the kind words!
Beautiful Photos!!! Thank you for sharing them with us. I really miss Spectromagic. It’s so true what Dan said “It tugs on your heart strings” The music just stays with you. Wonderful memories.
Unfortunately, I’ve heard through the grapevine that it was recently announced that Spectromagic is gone forever.
