Credit: DisneyThe Main Street Electrical Parade is a fan-favorite parade that has been made sporadic appearances at three Disney Parks around the world — Walt Disney World in Florida, Disneyland in California, and Disneyland Paris.
D23 describes the parade as:
he parade, featuring half a million tiny lights on floats themed primarily to Disney movies, became one of the most beloved traditions at Disneyland. The park’s lights were dimmed and the illuminated parade snaked from a gate next to “it’s a small world, ” past the Matterhorn, skirted the hub, and then continued down Main Street to conclude at Town Square. The parade’s synthesizer music was based on a piece called “Baroque Hoedown, ” with themes from Disney songs worked in.
The Main Street Electrical Parade recently returned to Disneyland for the first time since September 2018 as it is celebrating its 50th anniversary! And because of this, there is “an all-new, enchanted grand finale that celebrates the theme of togetherness.”
Now, Disney is also getting ready to release a new Electrical Light Parade-themed MagicBand+, which has fans speculating it may return to Walt Disney World.
shopDisney shared the new MagicBand+ news to Twitter, writing:

And Scott Gustin pointed out a name change for the new MagicBand+, to which Disney fan abbysan89206221 replied:
Since there is a name change wouldn’t that indicate that its coming back to WDW?
