2024 and STILL missing this! What a wonderful decision if they brought it back!!

Just want to say it’s now 2020 and we are all still missing Spectro so, so, so much. I would give so much just to see it again.

I worked in frontierland in 06-07 and loved the "race" against Spectromagic - if I got off work at Splash i had a short window of time to clock out and get to the other side , where I could enter the tunnel and go home. If I didn't beat it, i had to watch the entire parade. I was never mad about not making it in time.

Even now in 2023 I so deeply miss this parade.

When those barn doors open at 1:22…I tear up, man. This was years and years of my childhood. I'm so mad they don't have Spectro anymore.

Literal chills at :57. I will never forgive Disney for ruining this parade. Absolutely shameful.

I tear up every time I listen to the soundtrack for this parade :( I would give anything to see it one more time in person.

Still shedding a tear and pouring out a 40 for Spectromagic. You'll always be remembered!!!!!!

Disney please bring this parade back. This is my childhood. It was so much more magical than Electric parade

I was so sad when I found out this parade had been cancelled--I saw it on my first trip to Disney World back in 1992. My grandfather taped this parade and it is my most vivid memory of the trip. He has since passed on but SpectroMagic music always reminds me of him, and the main theme and Mickey float bring me to tears. I saw Spectro again in 2002, but it was gone by the time I returned in 2012; I wish I could have seen it one last time. Thanks for capturing this and for posting!

This really takes me back. I missed that trumpet fanfare so badly...

you don't know how sad i was to see spectromagic go

part of the Disney magic died when they stopped this parade.

I can't even sing the song without immediately crying. I grew up with this and miss it like crazy

Bring back Spectromagic!

Every time I hear those trumpets, I tear up so much!! I not only remember seeing this on my three childhood trips to Disney in the early 2000s, but also seeing it recorded on my dad's "Camcorder" (it's a 90's thing, kids), from when he and my mom went to Disney in the early 90's, a few years after they got married. I fell in love with this parade watching it on our grainy little TV when I was little before I was able to go to Disney. It was event more incredible in person! So, so, so sad that it's gone : __ (

I want it back for the 50th. Spectromagic reboot PLEASE.

I remember my mom sitting hours before this started to save a spot for us while we continued to ride. This was always the highlight of her trip. She had a hard childhood, and this always made her happy. She recently broke her hip and nearly passed away from an infection- so I am so grateful for these memories because I will likely never get to sit next to her for another Disney parade ever again.

I feel like SpectroMagic is supposed to be Magic Kingdom exclusive as it feels like a more fantastical version of the Main Street Electrical Parade and fits Disney World in general better while the MSEP should be Disneyland exclusive to still give the small but compact charm that the park is known for

Im in this parade. I can tell you all that watching this back made me shed some tears. These were some of the best, worst, craziest days of my life. Spectromen forever! If you have any questions about its operation or the parade in general ask away; I did 27 different roles in this parade, including float driving and spotting so i know it well

When you look back on this it looks like a complete freakshow. But a wonderful freak show that rams itself into your eyeballs with absolutely no guilt whatsoever. It was a nightmare to keep running at the end, but totally paid its way and deserves its place in Disney history. B***** Engineering did a great job of rejuvenating it in its final years with LEDs.

It is 2024…this is so missed. So magical and a great way to spend the night at the Magic Kingdom.

I'm sorry, but this blows Main Street Electrical Parade out of the water in every which way, shape and form.

this was my favorite Disney parade, I loved it so much more than the Electrical Parade. it's a shame it's not around anymore, I'm glad I was able to see it when it was here :) thank you for uploading this!

I love this parade. The music just sets it apart from the Electrical parade for me, hearing it always makes me think of my childhood and my dad. It was his favorite moment of any trip.

After watching this whole show through, I have to say it's sad that this parade got cancelled due to negligence on Disney's part in the care and maintenance of the float. As much as I love the Electrical Parade and I'm happy it's back in Magic Kingdom, it would have been fun to see the parade live when I could remember it rather than when I was a toddler (stupid middle school me not taking advantage of the fact that she had annuals to stop and watch this parade), still, I hope they do manage to recreate it someday in the future so I can see Spectromagic live again.

The first time I went to WDW, (2006), I was only 5 years old. I just remember how special this parade was and I was in absolute awe the entire time. I’ll be 20 next May, and I still think this is if not the most iconic parade WDW has ever had.

Wow. This is the parade that made us come back year after year. Wish they would bring it back. The parade now is not worth stopping for, we go and get on a ride.

I miss Disney World’s old days.

When I went to Disney World for the first time, this parade brought back the magic and the comedy for me. It sometimes scares me because, of the spinning floats but then I got use to them and loved the parade after that. Now after 10 years of this parade it has cancelled because of poor maintenance on the floats. Spectomagic your floats dreams, magic, floats, and theme will be in my heart.

This was the best era of disney. All the good things are going away

You can hear someone in the background saying "90 days". If only it was that short... :(

2024 and I’m watching this with my baby. Some of the greatest memories from my childhood and I’m sad she’ll never get to see this in person. She loves looking at the lights.

Something about the theme song gives me chills. Such a unique but memorable parade. Spectromagic forever💕

I got to be in this parade when it first was around back in 1997. I was in the marching band in high school and we got to lead this parade because there was about 100 of us band members. The largest school marching band at the time.

Goosebumps. This parade was the epitome of my early childhood. So many memories have this parade. I hear the music and immediately I am 6 years old again. So sad that my future kids won't get to see this in person. What I wouldn't give to see this in person again.

I’ll never forgive Disney for what they did to this parade. How hard could it have been to properly store 30 floats for a few months?

❤❤ This brings back memories. Teary eyed watching this. Went to WDW in 97 with my parents and my 10 yr old son. Love love love this parade. Very special

The music in this parade is just awesomely regal but the electrical parades music gets stuck in your head for the entire trip.... Or at least for me

I miss this so much. Spectromagic gave you the pixi goose bumps and brought that inner child out and on that magic night you truly felt the way Walt wanted for us all. The new version does not and the soundtrack is crap lol

I've been listening to spectromagic since I was a kid, and from a musical standpoint, I think this parade has so much more to offer! There was so much more variety in terms of movies used, the instruments are real and it displays so much strength and honor! When I saw the Nighttime electric parade, I heard the same tune repeated in various squeaky high buzzes, and I really miss this one!

I think they might be able to rebuild this even better in the future since there's so many people complaining about it being gone. They saved some peices for possible future use, so....spectromagic might return it just might be a while

It is a shame that we are never going to see this live again. This was definitely a part of my childhood, so seeing this again makes me cry tears of nostalgia and sadness. RIP, SpectroMagic. You will forever live in our hearts.

As much as I will miss DEP (so many memories) I would love for Disney to recreate Spectro and bring it back to what it was (if they could) PtN is nice but it fits Disneyland's crowd and guests more than it would fit here. Last time I was in Florida I was speaking to a friend of a friend and she said "As much as I like PtN, it makes me feel like I'm in a nightclub... And I've never gone clubbing.." Now that does not mean it's a bad parade, but I love the technology created to make Spectro. It isn't the most advanced, but it looks stunning to this day.

Stumbled on this...Glad you captured this final performance. I was there with my wife and son (he was 5 at the time). We were leaving the castle after dinner and decided to catch it. 'Didn't know it was the final show until they announced it. I worked for Disney Event Productions when I lived in Orlando back in the late 90's and Spectro was one of my favorites. I was happy my son got to see it. I don't mind saying it brought tears seeing his joy, knowing it was the last performance. Thanks for posting...

I really love to see the awesome big floats from MSEP!!! But still, the awesomeness of it does NOT compare to how sentimentally connected I feel to Spectro!!!! I really love SpectroMagic and i even enjoy listening to the spectacular soundtrack and that brings me memories of the times i've seen the parade at the Magic Kingdom and how it has always felt like living a dream and it's truly amazing!!! This is the parade i grew up with!!!! I miss Spectro!! I hope they bring it back!!!

This is one of the best parades If there play parade didn’t happen this would be my 1 favorite

Maaaan, this brings back so many memories. This parade used to mesmerize me as a little girl, in my opinion it captured Disney's elegance perfectly! By today's standards it's really old fashioned but I wish they can bring it back upgraded! Paint the Night is absolutely wonderful in my opinion but it had too many Pixar characters.

This was the greatest Disney parade of all time.

Getting to be in this parade was one of the most magical highlights of my life. Best parade ever! Long live SpectroMagic ❤

I watch this often and am happy you had a such a great recording of what was my favorite WDW parade. I was sad when it went and always held out hope it would come back until I learned of the fate of the floats. Glad it gets to live on in your video. I wish everyone knew it was the end the way they did when the ended Wishes where they sang along after the show was done.

Best Parade ever!! Great memories!!💜💜💜

i got 5 minutes in and i'm already on the verge of tears, I was about 4 (2009) the last time I saw this parade and i'm absoloutley heart broken that it's gone, me being the stupid child I was fell asleep in the stroller as the parade when by so I didn't even see the majority of it, I have the entire parade recorded and it just makes me so sad to look back at this parade,this parade completely blows main street electrical out of the park in my opinion.

The pre-recording before the parade starts is permanently implanted in my brain. There was nothing better.

All these Spectromagic critics... I love it! Probably my fave! PTN is so hyper and fast paced you can't enjoy the Classic Disney magic. I think this one is tons of fun

My beloved parade. Saw on my first visit and cried. Miss it . Should bring it back 2022. Now that bob iger us back

My Very First Time meeting Mickey Mouse i was 9 and i Cried Tears of Joy.. I Still do an im in my 30s Now. Just brings back Memories.

It’s now almost 2024..and I still Miss this parade

Wishes and Spectro magic. Two things Disney world needs back!

At 3:47 LOL that was awesome!… It’s incredible to see how much this has changed since 1993 when I saw it! The music gives me goosebumps LOL it also brings a few tears and a massive lump in my throat LOL that was such a magical time for me I was 13 years old and it was the first and only time I had ever been to Disney World! I hope to visit again sometime in the future! There’s no place like it! ❤️❤️ thank you for posting and sharing this with us! 😎🙈❤️❤️🥰

my favorite Disney parade ever!!!!

As much as I love the new higher tech parades and shows Disney are doing across the park.... SPECTRO MAGIC will be the one I misis the most!

They should bring it back with an update, like use the theme song which is simply magical, and include more movies, like Cinderella, the 90s and current ones like Frozen and Moana. That would be awesome and magical. We would get a little bit of nostalgia and at the same time innovation with the new films :)

Was watching another episode of WDWNT and accidentally clicked on this vid...Happy accident! This was THE BEST Disney parade I've ever seen! I wish they'd bring the night parades back! The magic got lost when they removed the night light parades! 😢

14 years later and i still miss this parade

I loved this parade(and still do), more than I used to like the Electrical Parade when I was waaaaaaaaaaay younger than I am now!! Guess all I can do is keep the memory of this parade alive by watching as many videos of it here on KZfaq as I can and hopefully one day in the future maybe, just maybe, Disney World will bring this parade back to us!!!🙏🤞🙏🤞🙏🤞

It's 2021 and what I would give to go back to that time when we first saw this July , 1998. It was a present to our son who turned 2 the day we got home. My family met us there at the castle. Just magic. I made my husband take us every night to see this spectacular event. Please Disney, bring this back. You can't imagine the feeling one gets when the music pipes in throughout Main Street. It's like a dream. But anyway... thank you for a memory that will last a lifetime. But hey it's Disney and that was the intent.

Just to return to those days again when WDW was far better would be my dream come true. I enjoy revisiting this every so often as a reminder of the magic. This is the best nighttime show Disney has ever or will ever produce. Long live Spectro Magic 1991-2010.

The first time I saw this I made sure to see this every time I went back.

It's 2024 and I'm still missing Spectromagic with my family ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I performed in this parade around the year 2000....THE best experience of my life!

You can buy the spectromagic soundtrack on Itunes. I used to work this Parade every night for a year while working at disney it never got old.

They need to rebuild this parade (better than ever) to replace The Main Street Electrical Parade!

I REMEMBER SEEING THIS PARADE WHEN I WAS 8!!!! I LOVED THIS PARADE!!!!

Thanks for the upload! I saw SpectroMagic in '96, and my love affair with Disney nighttime parades began--it has yet to end! lol! It feels really great to see this again. I really, really miss this parade, and I wish they would bring it back!

This is the Most Beautiful parade I've ever seen in my life. So much lights and colors

Omg still remember it like it was yesterday truly magical

Our favorite parade ever...

i miss this parade so much. ive only seen it once but i was terrified of the spectromen (this was before their redesign, which is okay, but ive grown to love their original design) and chernabog, so i feel like i missed out a bit. i pray that disney decides to rebuild spectro from scratch.

Man SpectroMagic Was An Amazing In DW. :)

My favorite parade♥️

I 1st see the spectro magic parade back in 1993 and even to this day now its January 2021 i still get goosebumps watching it,if is by far the best night time parade Disney has done,please please please bring it back even with some updates with frozen and moana

Wished there was a way this could come back

This parade was phenomenal. The music was magical. The electrical parade will never ever come close to this. It makes me sad to know it’s gone....still after all this time

When I was a little, little kid, I thought they were actually playing the trumpets.

Spectro Magic says… your Disney Vacation is now complete!!!

I grew up with the Mainstreet Electrical Parade but SpectroMagic always seemed way more Disney to me. A really great soundtrack to a fun parade.

I cant watch this with becoming emotional because its not coming back my all time favorite parade!

I saw this in June of 2010 without realizing it would be gone almost immediately afterwards. It's such a magical parade that I cry when I hear the music! I mean, it has that special "Disney" chorus you hear in their shows, music and whatnot. The Main Street Electrical Parade may be sweet, but it should be in Disneyland in CA where it belongs! Let the 'Land" have MSEP, and the "World" have SpectroMagic!

My family and I try to see this parade every time we go to disney. This place holds so many childhood memories for me. Disney love you forever.

They need to bring this back to Walt Disney World

2024 and miss this so much

May Spectro rest in peace. We will all miss it.

I saw this parade back in 2007 when I was 8 years old and I remember nothing about it except for the Ariel float. I just kept thinking "What was that one parade where Ariel had a light up tail?"

I grew up with Main Street Electrical Parade in the '70s/80s at Disney World and it holds a special place in my heart, but have also loved Spectomagic as well. I have seen both, as well as the new version of the MSEP, on several occasions and they are all amazing parades. I have the music for both and am happy that I can enjoy them both thanks to KZfaq. When I listen to/watch MSEP, it makes me want to get up and dance. When I listen to/watch Spectromagic, it makes me emotional almost teary.

Right in front! Perfect angle for the beloved Spectromagic...I wish that the new one would go back to DCA soon!

I think about the soundtrack all the time, it's so beautiful.

This show is so special to me. I remember making my parents wait a whole hour to watch the parade a second and third time because Ariel was coming. I enjoyed MSEP, but it's time to rebuild a nighttime parade for Disney World.

I miss this song.. the trumpet part always gets stuck in my head for days. Childhood memories. This has always been and always will be my all time favorite attraction at Disney World. I almost want to cry watching this, I know that's silly.

remember watching this as a young kid, it was probably the best Disney parade ever!
