The Main Street Electrical Parade returns to Disneyland this weekend! But, it’s going to look different. Here’s a look at the changes:
Retirement hasn’t fazed the Main Street Electrical Parade, which has now been resurrected multiple times since it “glowed” away, supposedly forever, in 1996. But when the electronic-music-infused stalwart returns once again to Disneyland on April 22, this nostalgia celebration will have a new look.
But the most notable change appears to be happening with the Main Street Electrical Parade, which is doing away with an America-first finale that had survived a number of decades and featured a closing stars-and-stripes float of the United States flag, followed by a larger-than-life eagle. America is a collection of stories and myths from multiple cultures. The previous “To Honor America” parade float increasingly felt out of place at one of our country’s most fabled and recognizable institutions. With dancers clad in colonial garb, it felt like a relic of a time when America longed for “the good ol’ days” rather than forward momentum. Indeed, the stars-and-stripes finale came along in 1979, shortly after America’s 1976 bicentennial celebration .
Disneyland, of course, is a place of tradition, and even today the park houses a robotic Abe Lincoln, stages flag retreats and tells the story of the first Christmas each December. But part of the park’s heritage is change. The Electrical Parade has been a source of relative constant upheaval. Originally, the parade ended with a series of small floats, intermingling Disney characters and musical instruments.
