The parade was originally launched in 1972 through to 1996 before it was taken on the road for stints at the Walt Disney Resort in Florida, Disneyland Paris, the Tokyo Disneyland Resort, as well as a two-year gig at Disney California Adventure Park.

To meet the demand from hard-core Disney fans, thirsty for something new, the Anaheim park renovated and relaunched the classic Main Street Electrical Parade.
