“To all who come to this happy place; welcome. Disneyland is your land. Here age relives fond memories of the past...and here youth may savor the challenge and promise of the future. Disneyland is dedicated to the ideals, the dreams and the hard facts that have created America...with the hope that it will be a source of joy and inspiration to all the world.” - Walt Disney

Baroque Hoedown - Back on Main Street

It was 40 years ago (as of June 17th) that we first heard that familiar electrical sound.

The lights up and down Main Street USA were dimmed and then went out.

A hush fell over the crowd, as a bright blue glow came around the corner.

And then, in all majesty, comes the Blue Fairy right out of the Pinocchio movie.

To this day I cannot hear Baroque Hoedown without imagining that image.
Now, after almost 40 years, the magical lights, sounds, and motion of the
Electrical Parade return to Main Street.

and here we see "behind the scenes".



I hope you enjoyed the video. It really brought back great memories for me.
