Hi there, Paige!
Welcome to
planDisney, and thanks for bringing us your question about the
Disneyland Resort. The Main Street Electrical Parade happens to be my all-time favorite
Disney Parks parade too! There’s really something special about its combination of sparkling lights and an upbeat synthesized soundtrack sprinkled with Disney magic.
The original version of this parade at
Disneyland Park ran from 1972 all the way to 1996! Over the years, it has come to various theme parks around the world, and its most recent appearance back at the Disneyland Resort was in 2022. Unfortunately, there are currently no plans for the Main Street Electrical Parade to return that we are aware of.
While I know this might not be the answer you were hoping for, there was recently an
exciting announcement made about another fan-favorite parade! As a part of the
Disneyland Resort 70th Celebration, Paint the Night will return to Disneyland Park on May 16, 2025, lighting up Main Street, U.S.A. with over a million LED lights. Have you had a chance to see it yet, Paige? This dazzling, next-generation nighttime parade brings to life characters and stories from films such as
Cars,
Toy Story,
The Little Mermaid,
Beauty and the Beast, and more. Like the Main Street Electrical Parade,
Paint the Night features innovative floats, costumes, and music that illuminate the evening and create a memorable experience for Guests!
I hope you’re able to plan your next pixie-dusted visit to The Happiest Place on Earth soon, Paige. Please feel free to
write back with more questions!
Wishing you magic,
Courtney
