Positive aspects of the product (pros): Cons:
We find this a great way to end our day in the Magic Kingdom. I love the technology used in this parade especially the fireflies. I also like the way they integrate the music. There is repetition in the music but it doesn't annoy me the way some of the daytime parades do. We usually sit and watch it across from the Liberty Tree Tavern. I find this a great photo spot too because the parade turns a corner right in front of you so you get a lot of good angles for photos. Everyone in our family loves to sit and watch this parade. Photo tip - do not try to take photos with a flash - you will be disappointed - no flash photos will capture the moment a lot better.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): EVERYTHING Cons: NONE
This is the greatest parade!!!! Do not miss this because you will not be dissappointed. I like to watch it in front of the train station, sitting on the sidewalk edge. It takes me back to childhood. The music is great, the characters are great, and the lights are amazing!!! See this, then wishes and it is a great way to end the night. If you can ride attractions during the early parade and catch the late parade! You may find lighter crowds!

This is my favorite parade. It's another can't miss attraction on every trip for me. The music is catchy and I find myself humming it all the time.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Gorgeous! a classic Cons:
Spectromagic is a wonderful parade and a must-see for us every trip. We usually find seats by the Liberty Tree Tavern (saving seats using towels) well ahead of time. Our volunteer goes for provisions to pass the time - the absolute favorite being Ice Cream Sundaes from the Ice Cream shop at the top of Main Street.
Having seen the show so many times, we have our favorite characters. For me it is the scary clowns on top of those balls that lead off the parade, and the Fish floats. Disney historians will remember that Spectromagic was developed to give homage to the Water Parade, that occurs in Bay Lake everynight.
All of our favorite classic characters are in attendence, and the light effects are fun to watch. This parade is great for all - young and old.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): So pretty Cons: Crowds, of course
Spectromagic is a gorgeous parade. The lighted floats and outfits really bring a sparkle to this nighttime parade. Also, since the floats are quite tall, it's easy to watch the parade even if you are not in the front row. The only reason we don't watch it more often is the crowds that gather to watch it.

This is such an aweseme parade. It is chock full of all the characters that you love put to music and lights. It is one of our favorite night time attractions. You must secure a spot early though and the crowds will be intense but well worth it!

Positive aspects of the product (pros): the lights Cons: crowds
This is worth seeing every time. The details are great and it's so much fun to hear the music and see the floats. The crowds are always huge. I suggest going to the bridge between frontierland and the hub and parking yourself right outside the counter service restaurant.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Great night time parade Cons: can be canceled due to weather
If Spectro is shown twice in one night... ALWAYS go for the second one - it is less crowded if you want to see it from Frontierland or Liberty Square.
A fun parade no matter...

Positive aspects of the product (pros): best parade on poperty Cons: performances are not nightly
was sad to see the main street electrical parade go, but this parade as it all over the MSEP. The only negative is that it is not run every night so it can be a bit crowded on nights that it is run.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Beautiful and creative Cons: having to stake out a spot an hour in advance
The parade is absolutely beautiful. The music is fantastic and the floats are gorgeous. It is the best parade outside of the Boo To You Halloween party parade. The only down side is that it is so popular that you must get a spot about an hour in advance if you want to be able to see much more than the back of a bunch of strangers' heads.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): a classic Cons: some things too intense for sensitive children
A trip isn't complete without this parade. I am now a grandmother of preschoolers and toddlers and they are really afraid when the volcano thing comes out and opens up into a horrid creature...I don't know who it is, but it is scarey. It really did my one 3 year old grandson in. We had to leave. Sometime Cruella and the witches are scarey for my 4 year old granddaughter. I love to see the lights change colors and the music.
It gets crowded early...2 hours prior to the parade start...and now that it is only on certain nights, the crowds are ever worse.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Classic Disney at it's best! Cons: None!
We saw this for the first time 3/09 and we LOVED it! So much so that we watched it twice during our trip and can't wait to see it next time we go. I expected it to be just like the Electrical Parade out here in CA, but it was quite different. I loved the music, and the floats & the effects are beautiful. I was also surprised by the length of the parade, there are so many floats and there's so much to see! You can really feel the magic in the air as you watch it! I definitely recommend this for fans of all ages!

Positive aspects of the product (pros): lights, music Cons: crowds
The Magic Kingdom at night, with lights, music and fairy tales - how can you top that? This parade is awesome. Scope out a spot next to some pleasant looking people, strike up a conversation, and enjoy the evening. The parade is just magical. The changing colors on the carousel float make me cry every time we see it. Little ones might find Chernabog on the Villains float intimidating, but he doesn't get in your face.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Brilliant light designs, unforgettable Cons:
We go to Great America alot, and they have a parade where they throw some christmas lights on their old, tired floats. I wasn't expecting this parade to be much different. I was so, so, very wrong. This parade took my breath away! The Fantasia themed floats were some of my favorites, but all of the floats and parade walkers are absolutely fabulous and amazing! I was glued to my spot and waving frantically like a 5 year old maniac. Best. Parade. Ever.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Cons:
SpectroMagic is truly magical to me. When I hear the opening strains of the theme I immediately smile. It is so much better, in my opinion, than the Main Street Electrical Parade. We always watch from Frontierland and it is rarely crowded.
My only complaint is that it sometimes takes a while between sections of the parade to get to you. I love the end when the lights change from white to color, and also the children's chorus.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): lights, theme on wheels, music, lasers, Cons: fireworks, noisy, comments, darkness, crowded
The fireworks were too close and too loud when viewed around the castle. Spectromagic music complimented to the show if not too loud. There was a silence when the show started and if you are near the castle, whisper to your neighbor. If you are old and hard-of-hearing, you better take a step back, and let the show begin. Noise is fun for dancing, but fireworks do not compliment.
