    Unhappy Spectro is no more

    Just read from another site that the Spectro Magic floats were destroyed. This was due to them getting damaged in some rough Florida weather. I'm kinda bummed about this. I always liked the parade, and compared to MSEP, I loved it. The floats were very Disney as was the music. MSEP's music used to be cool to me.... when I was 10 and techno music was new and cool. But now it just seems outdated.

    So long Spectro. Wish I could've seen you one last time.

    BRODIE: Hey, now, be fair. EVERYONE wants Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.

    I don't know what it was about it, but it was the only parade I really looked forward to seeing.

    This was my favorite parade. I think it was our favorite more because it was the first once we ever took my son too. I have great memories of him seeing it for the first time and sad that my daughter never got to see it.

    I am with Gator on the MSEP music. It really annoys me. I don't do the nighttime parade very often unless we are doing an event like MNSSHP.

    I'll miss it for sure. I saw MSEP once. That was all I needed. I could watch Spectro forever.

    I don't know which is the truth but for whatever its worth, after the rumor spread about the Spectro floats being destroyed I read on another source (that tends to be reliable) that it was a false rumor and the floats are still safely in storage. That source later even tweeted a picture of the floats in storage that they said was taken by a cast member last week. Maybe wishful thinking but I'm still holding out hope

    PS
    I'm not trying to be mysterious about who the source is, just assuming its not OK to post links to other Disney fan websites here

    Yeah, wishful thinking. Orlando Attractions Magazine on their weekly program last week announced that they were officially told by Disney that Spectro would not be returning. They used the word officially and they are very reliable.

    Yeah, I read somewhere on here that it was officially not coming back I was so holding out hope that it would eventually come back. I know that a lot of people love the current parade but it just doesn't move me like SM did. I just kind of feel like it is just any other parade... I just hope when they come up with another one it has a more exciting soundtrack I still listen to SM on youtube a couple times a week.

    The final two floats, the Carousel and Chernabog, were destroyed the other day... Say goodbye to Spectro... No matter what another site said, the parade is gone...

    There is no parade to replace SpectroMagic... MSEP will run for the foreseeable future... Until the new Festival of Fantasy parade starts... The plan, as of right now, is to can MSEP once the new Festival of Fantasy parade begins, and run that parade in the afternoon and evening...

    Would sure like to know where that info came from as that is contrary to what we hear from parades entertainment cast at work.
