It's Christmas Eve at Disneyland, December 24, 1997. The (one and only) park is only open until 8 p.m.! The Christmas Fantasy Parade and Fantasmic! will both be shown before closing time and the monorail passes the 1990s era Disneyland sign and through the parking lot while its spiel invites us to come back and see Disney's California Adventure when it's complete in 2001 and to see the "New Tomorrowland" when it is completed in Spring of 1998.
This video includes nearly all of Fantasmic! from the balcony seating area at the Disney Gallery (before it was converted to the Dream Suite). Stay tuned to the video after Fantasmic! for a glimpse of some of the 1998 New Tomorrowland construction, the lighted façade of its a small world Holiday, and the lighted Disneyland sign seen from the (yes, Free) bus back to my motel.
Video by Alan S. Dalinka. (Sorry, for some reason, this old Hi8 videotape has deteriorated a bit more than pretty much any other one I have from the 1990s so there is a bit of horizontal striping noise through some of the video.)

Feel free to share the video with your friends so long as these credits remain and you don't charge anyone to view it.
