Tonight, the beloved Main Street Electrical Parade returns to Disneyland after two years packed away safely. Disney’s “perennial parade” (their words) graces Main Street once again. During this summer of great change for the Resort, this is a welcome bit of classic Disney magic.
Can’t make it to the park tonight for the big return? We’ve got you covered. The live-stream for the parade is embedded below so you can watch the spectacular half-million sparkling lights from the comfort of your house . . . right here on MiceChat.
The parade makes its first reappearance tonight at 8:45pm (Pacific) and again at 10:45pm, so be sure to keep this page handy! The Main Street Electrical Parade returns August 2 through September 30.
Electrical Parade Inspired Treats
Disneyland often offers special merchandise and/or treats for their promotional events and the return of the Electrical Parade is no different. Here are some of the things you can expect to find beginning today (keep your insulin at the ready):
Candy Palace
Disneyland’s main candy shop will offer a “Main Street Electrical Parade” Crispy Treat, Caterpillar Marshmallow Wand, Lady Bug Cake Pop, and a Snail Cake Pop.
Carnation Café
This table service restaurant on Main Street offers up a Raspberry Lemonade Shake as well as a Spicy Chicken Sandwich inspired by the return of Disneyland’s classic parade.
Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlor
Fans will be happy to see the return of Fantasia Ice Cream (a blend of cherry, pistachio, and banana ice cream featuring chipped pistachios and cherries). You’ll also be able to get a Fantasia Waffle Bowl Sundae. We’d like Fantasia Ice Cream to stay, what about you?
Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe
Lady Bug Macaron, Pineapple Coconut Parfait, & Cheshire Cat Linzer Cookie.
Refreshment Corner (or Coke Corner to many of you)
Firefly Hot Dog (that’s a hot dog topped with chili, shredded cheese, fried corn chips and jalapeños), Firefly Chips (similar, but without the dog), and Chili Mac Bread Bowl. We aren’t sure what is about the Electrical Parade that makes Refreshment Corner think you need acid reflux, but there you have it. Chili, chili, and chili.
Plaza Inn
“Main Street Electrical Parade” Cake (colorful vanilla sponge cake with cream cheese frosting, mixed berry marmalade, cream cheese frosting, sprinkles and chocolate decoration). Consider us sold!
Various Carts Throughout the Parade Route
“Main Street Electrical Parade” Popcorn Bucket (available while supplies last, refillable for $1.50 on day of purchase with valid receipt)
