This latest Volume, Magic Kingdom Parade Classics 2 features more current parades and includes the nighttime bonus SpectroMagic”. Please check below for more details or to order.

magic-kingdom-parade-classics-2Jeff Lange takes you back in time to experience this second in a series of DVDs featuring classic parades from Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom!

Disney Dreams Come True Parade (2008)

Mickey Mouse leads a procession of Disney characters in this Magic Kingdom parade highlighting favorite Disney moments! Recollecting the early days of Disney cartoons and rejoicing in present day Disney animation, each float celebrates the inspiration of dreaming. Delight in the winsome “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” and the wonders of “Pinocchio”. Relive the adventure of flight in “Mary Poppins”, “Dumbo” and “Aladdin.” Not to be outdone, Disney villains Jafar, Maleficent and Chernabog add some spice to the mix. The finale is a shimmering castle featuring classic Disney characters!

Celebrate A Dream Come True Parade (2009)

Kicking off Disney’s newest promotion, this parade invites you to “Celebrate You”! Mickey and Minnie lead the character procession on a festive, brightly colored “Celebrate Today” float that is decorated with large horns and confetti. Dancers perform in vibrant outfits that are reminiscent of colorful candles on a cake. Parade stops allow the dancers to deliver the celebratory message to the audience, while characters including Pinocchio, Gepetto, Pluto and Goofy sing and dance along on their floats.

Move it! Shake It! Celebrate It! Street Party (2009)

This jubilant party takes you into the street to dance and conga with a host of Disney characters, stilt walkers and performers! Four special gifts open to surprise and delight you. Don’t just stand on the sidelines, join other Disney guests as they party along with Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald and more! The music and atmosphere bring pure enjoyment in this parade that is destined to become a Disney classic.

BONUS: SpectroMagic! Nighttime Parade (2006)

Over a half-million lights shimmer and dance in this long-running Disney favorite! Mickey Mouse cuts a grand figure in a lighted magicians cape, directing the symphony of lights, color and sound that bring this brilliant parade to life. You will enjoy characters from classic movies that include “The Little Mermaid”, “Fantasia” and “Aladdin”. The finale highlights the real star of this show – the lights, which in a Disney parade first, change from white to brilliant color with a flick of a paint brush!

Relive these special Disney parade memories year after year or experience the magic for the first time by purchasing a copy of “Jeff Lange’s Magic Kingdom Parade Classics 2”.

Epcot Flower and Garden Festival Pre-Opening Photos and Video – Stitch's Supersonic Celebration and Bay Lake Tower Construction

Hi everyone!

Today I have some great photos and exclusive video from the upcoming Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival! Below is Sorcerer Mickey and the Broomsticks from Fantasia plus the all-new topiary from the Ostrich Ballet segment.

If the Sorcerer Mickey and Broomsticks look familiar they appear to be the ones that were on display next to the Hollywood Drown Derby at Disney’s Hollywood Studios (below right).

WDW Update: "ESPN The Weekend" Photos and Video, Production Update: Magic Kingdom Parade DVD Vol 2

Hi everyone!

Denise from Mousesteps spent Sunday at ESPN The Weekend! She shares some of her thoughts and photos with my readers.

I’d never been to ESPN The Weekend before – I actually didn’t realize it was held at Disney’s Hollywood Studios (how that got past me, I have no idea!) I originally planned to go on Friday, but ended up having to switch to Sunday. The day started out overcast and rainy, but it ended up being a great day to enjoy the event once the cold front came through. The Sorcerers Hat sets the stage for conversations after the motorcade – but is also used for live broadcasting. Below, the Sorcerer Hat gets the ESPN treatment.

Walt Disney World’s “Main Street Electrical Parade” – More Vintage Photos, Plus A Look Back At “The Hercules Electrical Parade” in NYC

Hi everyone!

There has been continued interest in my vintage Main Street Electrical Parade Photos, and I’ve found more images that I will be sharing with you today! I hope you enjoy these photos taken either by myself or my father, Walter Lange – a Disney fan who shared the love of the parks with his family and got me started on all this.

Florida’s Main Street Electrical Parade opening unit (above left) announces the parade. “WDW’s 15th Float” (above right and below) was a special float to honor Walt Disney World’s 15th Anniversary. That float was only used for one season!

The elusive “Pinocchio Underwater Unit” featured Monstro the whale (above left). A mystery (to me) has been resolved as many readers have identified the cars as from The Fox and the Hound – “Widow Tweed’s Car” (above right).

Photo Memories: Remembering Disney's Pirate & Princess Party

Hi everyone!

My photo memory update includes a variety of images from all three versions of the Pirate & Princess Parties! This was a great event that was recently canceled. I attended the original incarnation in the winter of 2007, followed by the summer 2007 version as well as the final (for now) incarnation last winter 2008!

Bonus Video: Contemporary Resort Bay Lake Tower, Stitch's Supersonic Celebration / Galaxy Theater Demolition

Hi everyone!

Just a quick update today with some exclusive new video from site partner MouseSteps.

Bonus Video #1: Contemporary Resort Bay Lake Tower from boat!

The water was extremely choppy on this day (and it was windy, making the camera hard to hold), but the interesting part of this video is the ferry boat (in an area one wouldn’t usually see it).

Bonus Video #2: Stitch’s Supersonic Celebration / Galaxy Theater Demolition!

This video shows construction on Stitch’s Supersonic Celebration, as well as a wall being built at the former Galaxy Theater at the Magic Kingdom.
