    Default Spectromagic vs. Main Street Electrical Parade

    It's been YEARS since I've seen MSEP - and I'm on 28, so I was young then. I really don't remember the differences between these two parades. What can I expect w/the MSEP? I'm so excited to see it again. Let me know, thanks!!

    You can expect to hear dozens of people around you say "I've never even heard of Pete's Dragon."

    Go to YouTube and Vimeo to see the differences.

    I know Pete's Dragon. I have the DVD right in my collection. However, DD never wants to watch it. Poor Pete and Elliot. I am not sure what she will say when I get the Apple Dumpling Gang.

    There are different characters in this one and it has a very patriotic end... It was a long parade I thought but then again, I was ready to leave right after it started...

    If you've never seen it, then you can say "I've seen - and I hope Spectro's back next time."

    Default Ready for a change

    As a goes to WDW to often person I'm glad to have a change of parade back to MSEP but I'd love to see an all new nighttime light up parade.

    MSEP is hands down better than Spectro.

    I hope it stays a MK for long time, I'm sure it wont though.

    I've always preferred MSEP to Spectro, but I think it has to do with which one you were introduced to first. I love the music and nostalgic feel of MSEP. Baroque Hoedown rules!

    See, I personally think ELP is WAY better then Spectro. More classic characters, more fun, more color and apparently updated with advanced light technology.

    According to a friend at Disney, Spectro is longer, has more lights / colors of lights, more floats, and more characters. My family prefers Spectro - that MSEP music is like a dentist's drill to my ear!

    Have always like Main Street Electrical Parade over Spectro, and I've seen both many times.
