1984 Magic Kingdom Main Street Electrical Parade

The opening announcement said, "The Main..." Why is that?

@wurlitzer165 the rest of the announcement is cut-off in this video.

i'm guessing this must've been the 2nd parade of the evening (during MSEP's 1st Florida run & early in Spectromagic's 1st run, when there were tywo parades the 2nd usually stepped off in Frontierland. i'm just curious does anyone here know exactly what the determining factor is on which way the parade travels?

This is fantastic. This original version blows away the updated one. Thanks for sharing!!!

The parade had been retired for a second time at Disneyland, so it's indeed rare to see how the parade looked back in the day, especially how the Cinderella scene looked! When the parade returned in 1985, it featured it presented in the way it is pretty much today.

@disneyfan85 if i'm not mistaken Tokyo's Ballroom scene in the '85-'95 closely rsembles how the Duisneyland one looked pre-'85?

David, I though I commented on this, but ... many of my fellow CM's send their grattitude. ;)

OMG! This is SO SO SO AWESOME!!!!! I echo what Terry said down there. It is very rare to find video of Pinocchio Underwater. I hadn't realized that it was once in the Walt Disney World version of The Main Street Electrical Parade. I am a tad sad that you didn't get the opening or closing announcement, as they are extremely rare to find as well. However, I LOVED hearing Jack Wagner's pre-parade announcement. That is another rarity. Excellent! Thanks so much!

Despite the bad quality, it's still great to see the Parade in its vintage form, especially Pinocchio Underwater unit. Thanks for sharing.
