Main Street Electrical Parade - 1991 - Walt Disney World 

Actually...this is probably the best recording of WDW's original MSEP on RU-vid. Fantastic!

Thank you! Great job! I drove floats in MSEP (we called it ELP - Electric Light Parade) for five years in the 80s - it's a nice trip down memory lane to watch it occasionally. This is the best quality video I've seen!

learned something interesting the other day from Don Dorsey. the reason we hear the closing announcement so frequently in this version is because Florida didn't have the same float tracking system that California did.

Thank you! I went there in 91 and before and this is the version I have always had in my head. When I was a Cast Member starting in 98 they had the Spectromagic parade and those clowns always creeped me out. It was nice to welcome the MSEP back a year or so later, but they had changed the opening announcement, so I always thought I probably just remembered it wrong. Thanks again!

Had fun doing the main street electrical parda.

Excellent video and the announcement is loud and CLEAR than any of the other videos I've seen. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks Terry! Glad you liked it. I sure miss the classic version of the Electrical Parade.

This is the best video of the parade that i've seen. thanks for sharing it!

EXCELLENT! Best recording I've heard yet of the Jack Wagner ORIGINAL vocoder!! Bravo!!!

OMG thank you so much for posting this show

Glad to hear it. It sure is fun to see and think about the way the parade used to be so many years ago. It was so wonderful.

I like this older version of the soundtrack more than the newer one. They added kind of a 'pop' sound to the newer soundtrack which is not as good.

for 10 years this was the best we had of the WDW announcement, and now finally we have the studio one!

We want the original music back!

Your ears are correct...the vocoder was recorded from scratch, as the chords are different than Disneyland's for "Walt Disney World proudly presents" all the way to "imagination."

A Small World float?! I did not even know that was a thing!! So interesting!!

Thanks. One of the main reasons for that edit is there was a man yelling at his kid standing right next to me and it was louder than the soundtrack! : )

your video is SO good, thast i showed it to a freind who has done various mixes of the parade, andd the audio of the opening is so good,he's going to make it the opening announcement for his next Walt Disney World MSEP mix

Wow.. Thank you! I wish I could go back in time and get an even more complete version of it filmed from different angles. At the time I guess I thought that it would be around forever. I love SpectroMagic, but I thought the original version of the the MSEP was incredible. The original soundtrack was so mesmerizing and several notches above the one they are using now.

I think this is the one that I herd on the timeline

Can’t believed they ended it I’m thankful I saw It with my daughter between 2007-‘ and 2015

This is Magnificent

Incredible! I wasn't even born during this time!

So awesome

25 Years Later... :)

oh wow! thanks for leaving that out.

This is even much better than the current MSEP.

See there are key differences between this original and the California Disneyland original! This one has no propellers on the fire flys, DL does, this one has a flashing smoke stack on Casey junior engin, and a moving headlamp, DL does not! Nice vid or footage!

I guess this was right before Spectromagic premiered? I was there in October of that year!

So they moved the floats from Walt Disney world in 1991 and send them to disneyland Paris in 1992

so SpectroMagic hadn't even been announced by this point? interesting. although if I were in charge I would have sent Spectro to Paris and kept this

Yes, I did put some audio dubbing into this. Some of the themes were lost in this video recording, so I wanted to make them more prominent. You are correct in that Small World is out of snyc. It just wouldn't match correctly no matter how hard I tried, so I did the best I could.

:46 that's pretty smooth audio editing you picked up the 2nd loop right exactly where rhe 1st loop ended.

The 1977-1992 Version of the Magic Kingdom MSEP is much better than the 1999-2001 and 2010-2016 version

I like the soundtrack than the other one

the reason Small World got removed was because of budget cuts. Paris must've done something to Elliott to give hime the look you saw but i can confirm with the exception of the Pleasure Island,Dwarf Mine & Swan units, all the other floats were from Florida.

I fell in love with Alice seeing her on the big mushroom My family had a recording of the parade but don’t know where they left it Sad Probably lost in time now

haaaa the 90's *__*

I feel like the audio quality of this video improved.

Very Cool !

And the reason why I didn't seen the version of the parade in paris is that I never been to Paris! I'm an American. And yes I was talking about elliot the dragon in the Disneyland Paris version

i agree! SO WHAT if the soundtrack wasn't ALL 2-beat tempo (which is why DCA/MK changed to the Dreamlights soundtrack.

ok it MIGHT be my ears but it sounds like when they vocoded the openiing, it's as though they recorded this one ebtierly from scratch listen to the word "imagination and then listen to the Disneyland version, this one sounds slightly different

I'm doing a countdown if days left till the parades return at Disneyland. who's watching this on the last few days till the 20th???

Was that Alice in Wonderland atop the mushroom? I wish I could tell what she was saying, although I'm sure her spiel was pretty standard. I worked at Astroworld in Houston for a season back in the 1990s, on the railroad. We had a standard spiel, which I embellished a bit. We always used to compare our salaries to Disney's, which were about twice as much. Great experience.

i showed one of my freinds (and fellow youtuber "mastromjm") your video and we both think that the quality of the intro is perfect enough top finally be able to put together a fan-made soundtrack for the Original WDW MSEP check out his channel he's already put a view soundtracks together.

I wish I was in there but sadly I didn't exist there 😭I was born early

yeah i think you would have to walk all the way to fFontierland to get as clean a copy of the closing announcement

well ever float except for the Eagle. Small World stayed in the pa rade for about a year in Paris then was removed for budgetary reasons.

Unfortunately, I missed the closing announcement in this video recording. I was afraid the camera battery was running out and I didn't get the full ending. Darn.

1991 was two years before Mystere debuted?

Great Memories. Say Does ANYONE OUT THERE Have The Floats from The Fox & The Hound. They Were also In The Electrical Parade About the same time. Let me Know. Been Looking For That.

And another thing the swans float didn't come from Florida... It came from the original Tokyo disneyland electrical parade

When I first saw this parade there, I thought they said "Macy's Electrical Parade".

Man, I just hope Hong Kong Disneyland one day gets the parade back in operation (if not, I hope they send the floats over to Shanghai Disneyland so they can be used), it hurts to me knowing that the floats are just there in boxes accumulating dust while the california one has been only in hiatus from '96 to '99

Wait this was 1991 but wasn’t Spectromagic there?

@Danny Eyheralde why did the it's a small world unit got removed? That would leave elliot the dragon to be the final float in the parade! And I know I didn't see this version in Paris but Elliot's face looked kinda creepy! It's like his mouth and chin gotten skinny and not fat a chubby!

yeah it'll be thjere for a while. (at least until they run out salvagable parts from the Spectromagic floats asb that's tje only way thefloats are surviving.

have you seen the current version at Walt Disney World? (borrowed ffrom Disneyland in 2010)

Did the Main Street Electrical Parade use LED's back then?

was thir some audio dubbing done? the only reason i ask is the Small World audio sounds out of synch.

oh wow and i just thought"imagination" was the only difference musically interesting tro hear that it was more then just that.

I remember this from 1993!

I dont think they'd be dumped in the river, thats like throwing away millions of pounds! I think they sold it or something

last (rumor) i've heard the floats that are in Hong Kong were dumped into the river.

I hate the float with all the dolls

1991, a special time?

Странная сказка...

Disneyland did Disney

But always liked Disneyland s better

“Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls!” Not any more, folks. Disney has decided to SHIT ALL OVER IT with its new woke BS. What, go there again and ruin all my childhood memories? Not a chance. Walt is dead, and his legacy is dead. No wait, it was murdered by a few fascist ideologues.
