When the Main Street Electrical Parade returns, it will have a few new surprises! Since this will be the 50th anniversary of the parade, Disney Live Entertainment is adding some new elements. An all new, enchanted grand finale, celebrating the theme of togetherness, will be 118 feet in length, making it one of the longest and grandest units in the parade’s history. Making up the finale will be characters and scenes from Encanto, The Jungle Book, Raya and the Last Dragon, Aladdin, Coco, Mulan, Brave, The Princess and the Frog, and more. – https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2022/02/disneyland-resort-unveils-return-dates-for-nighttime-spectaculars-and-new-finale-coming-to-the-main-street-electrical-parade/
