Tip Tuesday: My new favorite spot for evening events at the MK
Welcome to a belated Tip Tuesday (yet again, sigh).
This week, I wanted to share a brief tip about my new favorite spot to watch the Main Street Electrical Parade which also puts you in a great spot to watch Wishes! and the new "Celebrate the Magic" show coming later this fall about which Disney released some conceptual images earlier today. Disney also announced they are expanding the seating area for Fantasmic! at the Studios.
Anyway, back to the MSEP. Many people like to stand in the inner portion of the hub facing Cinderella Castle as the Electrical Parade goes by. I'm a fan of the opposite view. Stand in the hub looking back down Main Street U.S.A. You get a great head-on view of the parade and about halfway through, the lights in Town Square will turn back on so you have a wonderful backdrop for the parade.
Once the parade is done, simply turn around and you're ready for Celebrate the Magic and Wishes. If you want, you can try to move a bit closer to the Partners statue so that it's in the foreground for any pictures you take.
See for yourself - here's video from when I provided a live stream of MSEP and Wishes! back in June. It's in parts, due to the feed getting bounced a few times.
Enjoy!

The Magic, the Memories and You & Wishes!

PhotoFriday: A tribute to Veterans
Welcome to another Photo Friday!
In honor of Veterans Day, I thought I'd share a photo from June 2010 of the Eagle at the end of the Main Street Electrical Parade. I like this shot because that bright light above the eagle's head is the full moon. This photo doesn't do the vista justice. It was a magical moment!
To all our veterans who have served and to those who serve today, I want to thank you for your sacrifice and for your tireless efforts to protect our freedoms to enjoy places like Walt Disney World.
This photo is dedicated to you.

Tip Tuesday: A great view for parades
Welcome to another Tip Tuesday!
This week, I wanted to delve a little more into something I talked about during a recent PhotoFriday post.

The "electro-synthe-magnetic musical sounds" are returning
The “Main Street Electrical Parade” will once again light up the streets of Magic Kingdom , kicking off a season of after-dark excitement coming to Walt Disney World Resort.
“After the sun goes down, our Walt Disney World parks will light up the night with ‘Summer Nightastic!’, ” announced Meg Crofton, president of Walt Disney World Resort, in a news release.
With floats and characters appearing for the first time at Walt Disney World Resort, Disney’s “Main Street Electrical Parade” returns with its joyous sights and sounds. Direct from Disneyland and marking its first engagement in Florida since 2001, the cherished parade will be led by Tinker Bell waving from the basket of a magical balloon aboard a new float. Pinocchio and Snow White join the parade this summer, aboard bright new floats. Disney’s “Main Street Electrical Parade” is set for its summer-long nighttime premiere in early June at Magic Kingdom.
But Disney didn't stop there. They announced even more summer excitement.
The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror will welcome “drop-ins” this summer with even more pulse-racing surprises. New lighting effects and the addition of a new drop sequence, created especially for “Summer Nightastic!”, will bring unexpected frights to guests who step into that all-too infamous service elevator.
And what's a "Summer Nightastic" without fireworks? The Magic Kingdom will have a all-new fireworks show.
Personally, I'm hopeful I will be able to see the return of The Main Street Electrical Parade. I can barely remember seeing this amazing show when I was a young child on my first trip to Walt Disney World in the late 70's.
I can only hope that the guest response will be so positive that Disney will let those "electro-synthe-magnetic musical sounds" play for even longer.
