What have been the nightime parades before SpectroMagic WDW?

I know the Electrical Parade is in there somewhere, but I was wondering what the different night-time parades were since Magic Kingdom opened.

I'm pretty sure The Electrical Water Pageant was the only nighttime "parade" until MSEP came along. Here's the timeline that I know from that point (give or take a couple years from each date as I'm not sure of the exact year, just the relative time period)

WDW MSEP (197? - 1992ish)
SpectroMagic (1993-1998)
Original DL MSEP (1999 - 2001)
SpectroMagic (2001 - present)

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, I'm only about 80% sure of all this. (I'm also curious to find out exactly how much I remembered correctly :wink: )

Technically Disney's Enchanted Adventures Parade at the Pirate and Princess parties would be one too. I know sometime in the 80's they aired an Easter Parade at night but that might have just been for the tv taping.

I miss the MSEP :cry: I remember sitting on main street and watching it when I was a kid. Spectromagic is great but, NOTHING can top seeing Elliot the dragon with Pete riding him down main street !!!

Before the Main Street Electrical Parade there was Electrical Pageant on the Water. I remember seeing it one year and the next the music had changed. The updated music went on to be the base music for the MSEP.

That is if memory serves me correct. :wave:
