PHOTOS: The Main Street Electrical Parade Makes an Early Return to Disneyland!

One of the most iconic Disney parades ever is finally back in Disneyland!

World of Color

Slowly but surely, nighttime entertainment has been returning to Disneyland. Mickey’s Mix Magic fireworks opened last summer, and tons of other nighttime staples are joining it. Fantasmic!, World of Color, Disneyland Forever, and the Main Street Electrical Parade are all returning to Disneyland, and the time has finally come!

The Main Street Electrical Parade has finally returned to Disneyland, and they’re streaming the event live! This version of the parade features all-new Mary Blair-inspired floats to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the parade.

The floats feature tons of Disney and Pixar characters, including characters from the hit movie, Encanto! The parade wasn’t supposed to return until the 22nd, but Disneyland has surprised guests tonight with early performances.

The vibes are ON POINT for the start of this parade! 🎉 You can feel the excitement in the air! 🥳#Disneyland pic.twitter.com/v0OfEFEDuX

Once the lights dim and that iconic music starts playing, you just feel a little more “magical,” ya know?

So happy to be celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Main Street Electrical Parade! 🎉

Should we be trusting Goofy to drive the train though? 😅#Disneyland pic.twitter.com/a1o0xLIpMu

We spotted SO many iconic floats, including the spinning turtles…

…Alice on her mushroom…

…and of course, Elliot the dragon! It wouldn’t be the Main Street Electrical Parade without him.

Of course, one of the highlights is the gigantic “it’s a small world” finale float, which features Disney characters from all around the world.

We spotted dolls themed to Coco, Frozen, Aladdin, Pocahontas, and so much more. At the end of the float, there are even Encanto characters!

While this float rolls through, Main Street plays techno versions of songs from these movies.

How fun are these it’s a small world floats with characters like Miguel and Raya‼️

What a fantastic way to end the parade✨ #Disneyland pic.twitter.com/TqM5SHC5pV

And at the very end, there’s a stunning lit-up castle with fireworks bursting out the top. What a fitting tribute to the 50th Anniversary of this parade!

We’re so excited that this parade is finally back, and we can’t wait to see all of the other nighttime entertainment coming back to Disneyland! Stay tuned to AllEars for more Disney updates!
