This is your ever-present reporter here in Disneyland,

Optical Jedi, Killed a Jedi, Rick. I am here giving you a little report from beautiful Main Street, USA as we sit and wait for tonight's rendition of the 50th anniversary Main Street Electrical Parade. And I just wanted to give you a little tip here. We are here now at 621. We sat down right around 6 o'clock. The parade is not until 845, but that's how early you have to start camping out if you want to get a spot on the curb. We have scored a beautiful spot here right in front of the Main Street Cinema

featuring, of course, Steamboat Willie. We're just going to be sitting out here relaxing for a little bit with my wife and my daughter here as we catch our first Main Street Electrical Parade in quite some time. We have not seen it in quite some time, of course going pre-pandemic. So I'm just going to let you enjoy a few moments of the sounds of Main Street here as the crowds go to and fro on this not too terribly busy day in the summer of 2022. My daughter

does want to highlight, of course, that there are special 50th anniversary parade float balloons available this year. You can talk too, dear. Oh, so because doesn't it only happen during summer?

Usually that is the case, yes. And so we're just going to leave you here with a few moments of the beautiful ambiance of Main Street. And we'll return again shortly as we get closer to the start of the parade. Thank you. For those of you at home who like to play the crying baby drinking game, that was not a crying baby, that was a giggling happy baby getting a photo here on Main Street. And with that, we'll sign off for now. We'll see you soon. And welcome back, travelers. We are mere moments away from the Main Street Electrical Parade hitting our location here on Main Street, USA. So I am starting it up, and let's listen on. Yay! Go get it.

Go, go, go. Sit down. Sit down. I want to hear your feet. Oh, listen on. Okay. Fifty years ago, a magical parade sparkled to life, bringing wonder and joy to the young and the young departed.

Alive with imagination, it continues to grow, welcoming new friends and stories, inspiring new generations, and shining into our hearts with its heritage of hope. For its magic celebrates togetherness and the spirit of Walt Disney's words that welcome the world. To all who come to this happy place, Disney's Impala presents our spectacular festival of magic, nighttime magic and imagination. In thousands of sparkling lights, and echoes of romantic musical sounds, the Main Street Electrical Parade. Woo-hoo! The wind is blowing, the wind is blowing, the wind is blowing, the wind is blowing. Thank you. I don't know how you don't bounce along to this kind of music. Oh, you have to bounce. It's required.

It's required. Happy beeps. Thank you. Oh, my God. This is the way! I know, it's a coffee making house. Thank you. I'm sorry. It's perfect. Thank you. Here comes Yertle the turtle!
