Hi everyone! I’ve had the opportunity to celebrate Disneyland’s birthday (July 17th) in person many times in the past, including at the big media event for the 50th! But there are years that we don’t get to Disneyland in July – so we celebrate instead at the Magic Kingdom (below, right). We celebrated the 57th birthday of Disneyland on a very rainy day at the park. Our tradition is to ride opening day Disneyland attractions, but some of them are outside, so we couldn’t really be too choosy!

We stopped by Disney’s Pop Century Resort yesterday to get photos of the construction at the upcoming Disney’s Art of Animation Resort (below left and right), formerly it was to be Disney’s Pop Century Legendary Years. You can see the progress of the new resort from our previous updates HERE and HERE.
SpectroMagic (Final showing of the season 06/05/10) Over a half-million lights shimmer and dance in this long-running Disney favorite! This is the final showing before Walt Disney World debuted the Main Street Electrical Parade for the summer of 2010. 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 the show – the lights, which in a Disney parade first, change from white to brilliant color with the flick of a paint brush! Summer Nightastic! Fireworks Show (Premiere 06/06/10) This debut showing of the Summer Nightastic! Fireworks Show begins with the Fairy Godmother welcoming you, followed by a spectacular fireworks display to “Bibbiddi, Bobbidi Boo”. It isn’t long before Fauna and Merryweather fight to decide whether Cinderella Castle should be pink or blue. Soon, Captain Hook arrives and leads the pirate attempt to take over the castle, ending in an explosive battle with fireworks on the castle itself! Tinker Bell takes to the night sky and saves the castle with a wave of her magic wand. Main Street Electrical Parade (Premiere 06/06/10) Illuminated with over a half million twinkling lights, this most beloved of Disney’s parades is now back on Main Street at Walt Disney World for the summer of 2010! This multiple angle segment was shot premiere night from great views in Town Square and Main Street USA. Tinker Bell leads the parade in her all-new float, and this version includes the return of Pinocchio’s Pleasure Island float and the Seven Dwarfs glistening diamond mine! All your parade favorites are here including: Mickey’s Train, Alice in Wonderland, Pete’s Dragon and more! The Main Street Electrical Parade has never shone more brightly! BONUS: “Top of the World” Fireworks Viewing (2010) A spectacular and rare viewing of the Summer Nightastic! Fireworks Show from the exclusive Top of the World observation deck high atop the Contemporary Resort Bay Lake Tower! This version includes the fireworks music from the observation deck, and natural sound from below.

We saw this version at Disney’s California Adventure last year (see video HERE) where it was called “Disney’s Electrical Parade“, but it’s not the same as seeing it where I first did as a child in 1977. The Tinker Bell float (below, left) was new for last year, with 25,000 points of light. Mickey’s train announces the name of the parade (below, right), though it wasn’t changed for Summer Nightastic to the Main Street Electrical Parade moniker.
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! Relive the magic year after year or experience it for the first time by purchasing a copy of “Jeff Lange Remembers Disneyland’s Light Magic”.

The event was held at the newly re-branded ESPN Wide World of Sports facility. The evening kicked off with the “What’s New, What’s Next” (below, left) media presentation. Meg Crofton, President of the Walt Disney World Resort (below, right) told everyone about the upcoming “Summer Nightastic“.
