Looking forward to the Main Street Electrical Parade, and why SpectroMagic was an abomination

If you’ve ever watched Mickey’s Once Upon A Christmastime Parade in Frontierland, you likely know that location is paramount to enjoyment of a parade (same goes for fireworks–more on that in a future post). Although Christmas in the woods is beautiful at Wilderness Lodge, the same probably cannot be said for Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade in Frontierland.

Disney’s Stars and Motor Cars parade debuted in (at the time) Disney-MGM Studios on October 1, 2001 for the 100 Years of Magic Celebration. It featured Disney characters in a cavalcade of cars that parade from the Star Tours Backstage gate to the Hollywood Blvd Backstage Entrance, near Sid Cauanga’s. During the holiday season, the parade was transformed into the "Hollywood Holly-day Parade".
