MK - Main Street Electrical Parade

Eventually we'll have attraction-specific threads for every attraction in every park. Use these instead of the POTD threads. (It was Tim's idea.)

Here's a place for you to proudly present your photos of the spectacular festival pageant of night-time magic and imagination in thousands of sparkling lights and electrosynthemagnetic musical sounds, the Main Street Electrical Parade.

 

Lately I've been trying to shoot parades in the area of Town Square near the firehouse and barber shop. It's either the beginning or end of the parade, depending on direction, and the CMs tend to let their hair down just a little.

MSEP starts next to the firehouse, so the units are spaced out pretty much perfectly. On this evening, Mister Smee decided he had enough time to park his rowboat next to me and pose for a portrait.

I know, I know - it's blurry. I still like it for some reason:

 

A smile from Tink always brightens the night.


A Tink and a Smile

 

Cinderella blows a kiss to her favorite photographer. (That's how I choose to interpret this photo.)


Cindy Says "Hello"

 

In a few weeks, I'll get to see this parade again in the place that I first saw it 45 years ago: Main Street in Disneyland. Until then, here's Florida Mickey.


Welcome To My Park

 

Goofy's taking this train and heading to Anaheim!


All the Live Long Night

 

Happy Independence (from British taxation, oppression and idiotic leadership) Day. Have we really come that far?


To Honor America

 

Another shot from that May evening that proved to be my final viewing of the Florida version. (Someday I'll process the photos from the Disneyland version, taken a year later.)


The Ovation's Really Not Necessary

 

Another load of jewels from the mine. Don't those guys have enough to retire on by now?
