This week was a doozy! Looking back through all of my old photographs and nothing was jumping out at me at all! Then I got to thinking that maybe instead of just looking back through pictures, I should try to mesh them with a flashback attraction. Done deal! It didn't take long at all to come up with one of my favorite attractions from Disneyland that's no longer there: the Disneyland Main Street Electrical Parade.
Unfortunately, by the time I became a serious Disneyland junkie and an Annual Passholder, the Parade was no longer held in Disneyland Park at all, but had since moved over to Disney California Adventure Park and was being held there. Looking back, I'm sad to say I never got to see it actually on Main Street, USA, and that would have really been something. I can, however, thank my lucky stars that I was able to see it alongside my kids during the last summer it was here; it having since moved on to Walt Disney World.
Our pictures might not be the best of the Parade itself, but it leaves no doubt in my mind that my kids loved it, and I love looking back at them. It must have made some impression, because they still ask to listen to the music from the Parade almost constantly. That makes it a great flashback in my book. Enjoy!

I LOVED the Electrical Parade!
I love the pictures, they are so cute your kids.. It is one of my favorite Parades too..
We did too Monica! Sad it's gone, but it gives us great posting material ;)
Thank you Diane! We think they are too :)
And we love the parade...
Haha! Thanks a lot Beth :)
I can certainly see the wonder in their eyes! It really is such a shame that they moved it to DCA. I wonder why they didn't just move it back to DL instead of moving it to WDW. I miss it!
Thanks for the comment Naomi - they were LOVING it! :)
With all the other things going on in the Park at night (fireworks and Fantasmic!) and the other parades during the day it was probably just logistical to do so.
They moved it out of DCA to make way for World of Color - we're just glad if it had to go they moved it somewhere instead of letting it die. Couldn't be happier about that! :)
Aww what a sweet flashback. How come I don't see all these smiling faces more? Now I miss the electric parade.
I did see it on Main Street, but it's funny how whenever I think of it.. I think of DCA. Go figure.
Thanks Sarah :)
The littlest one's pass just opened back up, so we'll be making more family trips out again - yay!
And me too on the whole DLP/DCA thing ;)
