I just got back from WDW, and I have to say that the Christmas parade at MK for the Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party was really cool. That might be my favorite Christmas parade.

Yes, the Christmas Parade in the Magic Kingdom is very cool :)

We watched the cast preview on our very last night at WDW.. Such a sweet way to end our time at Walt Disney World :mickey:

Merry Christmas to all! Have a magical day!

My favourite was actually a halloween parade i saw at Disneyland Paris. I still play the music from it at my halloween parties. Though I do have a soft spot for spectromagic. I can remember being fasicnated by all the lights changing colour and sparkling around me as a young child. Although it has changed slightly over the years, whenever I see it it remind me of a time when i actually believed in all the magic and couldn't wait for night time to come when I would see tinkerbell flying form the castle.

I'm not a big parade fan, but I loved Tapestry of Nations, both the music and the show itself. It was just so different from anything I'd seen before; I never got tired of it. My daughter got pulled into it once to dance with one of the costumed characters and that will always be one of my favorite "magic moments."

(I think it was 3 separate parades that ran simultaneously around WS)

I like the Fantasmic parade at Disneyland Paris.
Together with the music the parade is just wow!

You mean Fantillusion?

It does look very cool :)

I haven't seen it myself, but I've got a couple of videos of it somewhere (I think there's one on mousebits).

There's a few pictures here: (sound warning!) http://www.dlrp.thedisneyfamily.com/ent ... usion.html

Which park is that in? I haven't seen it.
And Roller Coaster Tycoon? Cool. :)

But anywho, I like the Electrical Parade. I have a 10ish-year old copy on VHS that I watch.

Spectromagic is the nighttime parade in Magic Kingdom.

Someday, Abu.

It's a fun parade. Kinda like the Electrical Parade, but more modern.

Fantillisions is really good, i saw it last time I was in paris, but obviously it means that Spectromagic is no more! Whilst Fantillusions is great, I really miss the music of spectromagic and the memories it brings!

I really like the Disney's Fantillusion Parade :)
and of course the Main Street Electrical Parade was nice as well, but Fantillusion has nice show stops and light/music effects which i really appreciate :)
