the Evil Queen in the Spectro parade was originally a bloke!


it was adapted later to be a much lighter version.

It was a mesmerising thing to watch, and the music was just so "Disney". I don't mind admitting it bought a tear to my eye. I was very sad when it was replaced with MSEP which I really did not like as much.

And now there's nothing, which makes me sad. We're taking my daughters other half for his first visit next year and he'll not get to see it. The daytime parades are not the same in my opinion. It's too hot and humid, and nothing is lit up.

For me, nothing finished up a trip to Disney like the night time parade. Last time (2015) we got the fast pass seating in the centre of town square and it was brilliant.


Thank you both - I will always rant about the loss of Spectromagic, WDW's very own parade and held every ounce of Disney Magic in it.
The music is still sublime and there is a beautiful piano version that just touches the magic.


Will always be missed
