SpectroMagic


SpectroMagic was a nighttime parade presented in The Magic Kingdom at the Walt Disney World Resort. It was introduced in 1991 as part of the park's 20th-anniversary celebrations, replacing the Main Street Electrical Parade.
In 2013, following reports that the SpectroMagic floats had been destroyed, Disney confirmed that the parade had been permanently retired.

Story

The parade was about Mickey Mouse, along with the SpectroMagic Spectromen, who together create the power of SpectroMagic. After the first part of the parade with Mickey Mouse and the SpectroMagic Spectromen, the parade progressed through five different themes:
  1. "The Worlds of Music from the Silly Symphonies"
  2. "The Wonder of Sleeping Beauty's Garden"
  3. "The Fantasy of The Little Mermaid's Ocean"
  4. "The Imagination of Fantasia"
  5. "And The World of Dreams in a Grand Disney Cavalcade"

    History

Throughout its 17 years of nightly performances at the Magic Kingdom, the SpectroMagic Parade had various lineups. These ranged from different characters being in different locations in the parade to whole units being in a different order.
The soundtrack was released as its own album, rather than being featured on the Walt Disney World Official Album.

Parade units

The parade consisted of 23 units, with some of the units consisting of more than one float. Overall, the parade had 39 floats.
The Worlds of Music from the Silly Symphonies
The Wonder of Sleeping Beauty's Garden
The Fantasy of The Little Mermaid's Ocean
The Imagination of Fantasia
The World of Dreams in a Grand Disney Cavalcade
With 45+ Disney characters, 14 Spectromen, and 8 Butterflies, the parade required 65+ performers nightly.
The Piece of Disney History collection became "A Piece of SpectroMagic History" Collection for the year 2014. Each month one limited-edition Disney Pin was released, and contained different original elements from the former SpectroMagic parade.
