SpectroMagic Final Showing at the Magic Kingdom before the return of The Main Street Electrical Parade – Photos and Video

Hi everyone!

SpectroMagic ended it’s current run last night, we spent the last 2 evenings at the Magic Kingdom to say goodbye and to get photos and video. I was in attendance for Spectromagic’s premier showing on October 1st, 1991 during Walt Disney World’s 20th anniversary celebration. I thought it’d be fitting that we be there for the final showing before the return of the Main Street Electrical Parade. The SpectroMen signaled the start of the parade (below, left). The classic Walt Disney World logo is shown (below, right).

One of the SpectroMen poses with the SpectroMagic logo (below, left). Mickey waves to the crowd from his float (below, right).

The original SpectroMen (below, left) featured hard plastic glowing faces. They were changed to the current face characters (below, right) in 2007.

Roger Rabbit (below, left) originally conducted Goofy and the Magic Harp. The Genie (below, right) replaced Roger Rabbit when it returned from it’s hiatus in 2001.

The peacock (below, left) leads the Sleeping Beauty garden unit. Merryweather (below, right) poses in her floral float.

The bubble fish (below, left) approaches and reminds me of the Main Street Electrical Parade’s Lightning Bug and Twinkling Turtle (below, right). The bubble fish used to blow real bubbles. Ursula (below, right) approaches while menacing the crowd.

The Little Mermaid float is next (below, left), representing Prince Eric’s ship. Ariel (below, right) waves to the crowd as Flounder looks on.

Sebastian the crab (below, left) was one of the first animatronic figures to be included in a Disney parade. King Triton (below, right) greets the crowd.

The Fantasia section (below, left) begins with the spinning hippo and ostrich float (below right).

The mythological flying horses (below, left) seem to rise out of the clouds. Chernabog emerges from his wings and glows red while blowing smoke out of his head (below, right).

The finale features the Three Little Pigs with paintbrushes as they transform the remaining floats into color and back (below, left and right).

The carrousel float (below, left) features Dumbo and other Disney favorites. Captain Hook (below, right) waves from the Villain’s pirate ship.

Minnie Mouse (below, left) and Jiminy Cricket (below, right) wave goodbye as the parade comes to an end.

I haven’t been able to get the song out of my head since it ended!

“On this magic night, a million stars will play beside us, Cast a spell of light, glimmering, shimmering, carrouselling ‘Round the world tonight, a symphony in SpectroMagic, Pure enchantment lights our way!
