Jeff Lange brings you vintage footage from two completely different but unique elements of Disneyland history! Light Magic replaced the popular Main Street Electrical Parade, but ended after only 4 months in 1997. One Man’s Dream was a beloved stage show that also ran for 4 months in 1990 before making way for Dick Tracy’s Diamond Double Cross.

Two different vantage points – from the Small World mall and Main Street USA – give you a complete look at Light Magic. Opening on May 23rd, 1997 with four battery powered floats and 125 performers, Light Magic was billed as a “Streetacular” instead of a parade due to the two performance zones. The buildings on Main Street USA were enhanced with fiber optics created for Light Magic and lighting towers were added to the Small World mall (those still are used to this day). The soundtrack was a mix of both classic Disney songs and new music written specifically for Light Magic, the infectious “Dream our Dreams”. There is even a salute to the Main Street Electrical Parade, “Baroque Hoedown”.

The first complete Light Magic recording is shot from the Small World mall, recorded under a speaker for optimum clarity. Characters such as Chip and Dale, Goofy, Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Roger Rabbit and Rafiki appear in their pajamas alongside pixies who dance to Celtic music. The performance includes audience interaction, fiber optic and smoke effects, and concludes with a bast of colorful confetti.

The second Light Magic recording is shot from Main Street USA, with a similar assortment of characters and pixies, and includes a perfect view of the screen that features Disney animated characters with corresponding music.

One Man’s Dream celebrated the remarkable imagination of Walt Disney, in an incredible stage show which begins in black and white and soon turns to color before your eyes! The setting was Videopolis, a teen dance venue which was turned into a stage for this Tokyo Disney-inspired show. Impressive sets and a cast of 40 bring movies such as Peter Pan and The Jungle Book to life, adding characters such as The Three Little Pigs, Pinocchio, Goofy and Pluto into a variety of dance sequences. You’ll see Peter and Wendy fly, and behold a beautiful dance sequence with Snow  White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and their princes. Mickey and Minnie open the One Man’s Dream show simply, and the presentation unfolds in front of you – building into a grand “H00ray for Hollywood” climax, and ending with an explosion of fireworks. This is a show not to be missed!

Jeff Lange takes you back in time to experience this second in a series of DVDs featuring vintage parades from the “Happiest Place on Earth”, Disneyland!

Aladdin’s Royal Caravan (1993)

As Aladdin’s Royal Caravan approaches Disneyland’s Main Street USA, you’ll be magically transported to Agrabah! This critically acclaimed parade features a 32-foot tall Genie, as well as the grand entrance of Prince Ali, spitting camels, and the piece de resistance is Aladdin and Jasmine on top of Abu in the form of a giant elephant!

The Lion King Celebration (1994)

Performers dressed as monkeys swing from trees in this African-themed procession based on the blockbuster hit from 1994! Giraffes with articulated necks, an elephant squirting water, and an incredible float that features thunder leading into a full rainfall helps make this one of the most beloved Disneyland parades of all time. Zazu’s appearance signifies the first time an audio-animatronic figure is used in a Disney parade. Dancers in tribal outfits and beloved Lion King characters including Simba and Timon join together in this joyous event.

Hercules’ Victory Parade (1998)

With the Disneyland Astro Orbiter as a backdrop, marvel as a giant float featuring a lightning-bolt clutching Zeus helps lead this lively spectacle! Dozens of dancers in brightly colored outfits inspired by the 1997 film entertain the crowd, along with movie favorites such as Phil and Zeus. Hades attempts to bring the mood down with his sidekicks Pain and Panic before “Zero to Hero” Hercules saves the day, flanked by the beautiful Megara.

Mulan Parade (1998)

This charming nighttime version of the Mulan parade features dancing pagodas, a giant inflatable Shan Yu tied to a bed of skulls, and Mushu as an extended-length dragon with his body symbolizing the Great Wall of China! Led by the Matchmaker towering high above the crowd, the pageantry is energized by sword-wielding huns and acrobatic performances. The parade concludes with a larger-than-life Emperor waving to the crowd!
