Remember the Magic Parade - Walt Disney World - 1996

November 13, 1996. Part of Walt Disney World's 25th Anniversary Celebration, the Remember the Magic Parade was the Magic Kingdom's 3 o'clock character parade starting in the fall of 1996 and running for the next seven years. This video includes introductory video shot earlier on November 13, 1996 and only a single showing of the parade (plus brief clips of the Fantasy in the Sky Fireworks viewed from the Skyway ride on November 19, 1996).

I’m 28 and my Dad first took me too Disney during the 25th anniversary, here I am balling my eyes out. So grateful that my Dad took me when I was a kid and as an adult I love it even more. I’m so grateful for the individuals who work hard to give such a great experience. I remember being a little girl and having Jafar walk by and being deeply afraid, the autograph book, meeting princesses, the floral bed spread at the hotel we stayed at, Cosmic Rays. I love WDW

[@charlesdebarber2997]

This song is still in my head 26 years later. :) I remember being taken aback by this parade and SpectroMagic at night.

[@yasmimtubio2873]

I love your comment! I'm 29 and i also went to Magic Kingdom during the 25th anniversary. My parents always talk about how i was scared of Jafar as well. I haven't heard this song in soooo long and i'm literally crying. I will always cherish these memories.

[@cvacarlos]

almost 20 years and i still remember the magic and the song

[@mishaa7263]

30 years now

[@DrRiverWho]

oh god now im in tears for real. i remember dancing in this parade with the fish and playing a drum for the lion king. this is (hands down) my most favorite Magic Kingdom parade. (my favorite parade ever being the tapestry of dreams over at Epcot)

[@QTelectric2012]

It sucks that we can't have parades like this anymore, the show stops (a novel concept at the time and made into reality for the 25th anniversary with this) really make this what is the BEST Disney parade that Walt Disney World has ever put out hands down. To think that we guests have the opportunity to join in Remember The Magic and be apart of the parade for the first time ever, I'm sure many of us treasure those moments when we danced, played, and mingled with the characters. Does anybody else besides think this parade should come back someday?

[@chuck7514]

Song will always be stuck in my head

[@gabydarlington2527]

Omg! Brought tears to my eyes! I remember this parade like it was yesterday

[@dandandd3603]

Gaby Darlington me too😢❤️

[@burtonsdisneyprinces]

I saw this parade when I was four and I got to be in the parade when they pulled the kids from the audience :) God, I loved everything the 25th anniversary, even the castle. Can I go back 15 years in time please??

[@JoeyvanTienen]

I was there in 1999. I'm from Holland, Europe and it really was a magical moment. Thanx for sharing this, it brings so back so many beautiful memories!

[@JonnyHenri]

I remember this! I was 7 years old, I was so happy.. dear god this is making me cry, I have no idea why.

[@weebgrinder-AIArtistPro]

Same here I was 7 also!

[@spectroman71]

Still one of WDW's best parade theme songs to date

[@Queenofawesome25]

I wish they would make the castle like that again I thought the cake was for me since we went on Christmas and that's when my birthday is lol.

[@laurenw94]

I danced in this parade 25 years ago. What I'd give to dance it again for the 50th

[@2009band]

I've remember this parade. 1997 was my first time at disney. Great memories.

[@ryang6813]

I loved the parade. Was the first one I ever saw and even remember the music 20 plus years on. Thanks for sharing

[@anonymouscontributor1520]

It’s going to turn 50 this year! Let’s continue to Remember the Magic!!

[@vdc4431]

I still remember the words to this song. It feels like they just did this.

[@cassiacosta1472]

My favorite parade !! Love sooo much !!!

[@Candeedream]

Thank you so much for posting. We were there that year for my 13th Birthday and this brought tears to my eyes! Thank You.

[@cassiewhite879]

MAGICALLY MAGICAL AND WONDERFUL!!!!!! 😊

[@yxngworf]

I was there in 1997 and remember this so vividly! Amazing!

[@avalonfleur65]

Thank you for uploading this! I loved this parade and greatly miss it. The quality of your video is great-so the best video of this parade that I have seen on the whole on youtube!

[@vcooo91hster]

I remember this when I was a kid, life was so much better then

[@phoenixfairi8979]

OMG this brings back memories. I was about 5 or 6. I loved the day parade, and the night parade even more!

[@jimmyboy99]

I needed to hear this badly. I’ve grown old, hard and bitter. This helped some of that stone shell fall off. I need it to last.

[@RondaRae]

Love it! This is the parade that was happening the first time I worked at WDW. Brought back so many great memories!

[@weebgrinder-AIArtistPro]

I think this was my first year at WDW with family. Like others here I remembered the song's melody and words for almost two decades. 96 we a great year... at least to be a kid.

[@taylorshelton3267]

I remember seeing this parade on my 20th birthday and it was awesome.

[@joesmith389]

That crystal castle float has been used for decades.

[@mariahmclean3407]

Omg I believe I was there! November 1996 was the first time I ever went to Disney World (my mom still has the VHS tape around her house somewhere) and even though I was only 5 years old at the time, I remember that parade!

[@christopherwesterberg4511]

I remember going to Walt Disney World for the very first time in February 2015. It was indeed Pure Disney Magic

[@MrRossade89]

OK so the engineer that designed that is a good friend, I liked the pink cake! :)

[@Claytona500]

They should bring this back! It would go perfectly with their "Let the Memories Begin" theme!

[@ilsamc]

Omg! I too had the opportunity to celebrate the 25th anniversary of WDW!!! I still remember the cake castle XD I went on my 15th bday (quinceañera) in 1997. My family asked me if I wanted a big party or a trip to Orlando. I guess it's obvious I choose the later :p Thanks for sharing these memory times!!!

[@Queenofawesome25]

My first parade that I could remember ♥. :')

[@apostlect.dukeslive3006]

Thanks

[@Crosscountry618]

This should bring this parade back for the 40th anniversary! it would be " celebrating 40 years of disney magic' in stead of 25 years of disney magic

[@Eleanor10926]

I was there that year, October 1996. I was 13 fun times

[@lilianapautrat605]

Me too!!

[@Chacha_Zwing]

Disneyland Paris used this music on the opening day of the 100th anniversary of Disney company. I didn’t know it was coming from here lol

[@johnrobinsoniii4028]

We were WDW veterans since 1990. And the memories are so vivid!!!

[@disneyshield]

I was 3 years old and still remember this parade! 😍

[@up488]

God, this song will be embedded in my headever

[@andycleaver9135]

1st Disney parade i saw was this back in 1996. In fact just a few days before this was filmed!

[@ladikira86]

this is awesome. this is the year i went there for the first time. i was like 4 or 5 i think....good times, good times:)

[@mrwaltdisneyworldfan]

I can only imagine what they have planned for next year. I can't believe that it has been almost 40 years since the magic kingdom opened! Can't wait to get back to the world in the summer. Even though I was just there not even a month ago. It's been to long!

[@cheerlollypop202]

The best parade and I got to see it in person when I was very young :)

[@disneybarbie28]

thanku for this video.. i never saw this parade but i have the soundtrack for it on a wdw cd.. so it's great to see what it looked like! :)

[@christmasmatt21]

The song "Remember the Magic" is on KZbin. Only it's sung a little differently than in the parade. It's one of my favorite songs.

[@oskarshem]

love this ! ok , now, WDW current and former Cast Mbrs: remember this? ...'At what time is the 3pm parade?......"

[@disneydanny2]

@asdTubeU the was available called Walt Disney World/Disneyland Music Vacation" however it wasn't as widely available as most CD's and is now out of print

[@drjuicefire7025]

It’s insane another 25 years went by. Let’s hope they bring back a nighttime parade to magic kingdom. Happily ever after is a great extend fire work and projection show but the mk isn’t complete without a night time parade. Let’s pray to a normal return to WDW by early 2022 !!

[@MrsVickyramirez71]

OF course i remember the magic...how could i forget i was in the parade

[@burtonsdisneyprinces]

@LittleLauraBug Oh goodness Spectromagic!! I want them to bring that parade back SO badly!! I was listening to the soundtrack the other day, tearing up a bit! I've been back numerous times since 1997, but nothing compares to that first trip!

[@Cmaskold]

Where can I find the song? Thanks for upload!

[@sxymike12]

On this magic night was from Spectromagic. It ran all the way up untill 2010 they plan to bring it back. Right now they have the Electrical Parade and it flat out sucks.

[@disneydanny2]

i think this was the same week i was there w/ my mom . it was my first trip to WDW.

[@asdTubeU]

@anthersey28 I don't think the music from the parade was ever on an album other than the customizable ones available around 2000-2002 or so. The parade tracks were called Magic Kingdom Parade "Remember the Magic" (Parts 1 and 2)

[@deespillman2104]

Best parade ever!!

[@disneydanny2]

i think this was the same week i was there w/ my momn . it was my first trip to WDW.

[@chuck7514]

As I drink from my 25th anniversary mug 😂

[@JNT737]

September what a wonder time to go for me XD

[@miillsy]

Where can i download this song?! I've been looking for it for ages! x

[@LanaDelGuey]

holy crap i youtubed my birthday and month and year and this is what i founf....very interesting!

[@leefreeze9804]

my daughter got to dance in this parade :)

[@djthereplay]

@sxymike12, We weren`t saying the Electrical Parade flat out sucks back in 1986, before there was Spectromagic, weren`t we? One of these days, we keep on coming to Disney, acting like grown up brats, to end up having Disney price gauging us like we are grown up brats. Want that?, Let's stop our prejudice. - Dwight - Dwight

[@parkerwaltz9514]

I was there I was one

[@kirstie05211991]

Is there someone have this song in HD? Or the whole song upload some where?

[@Manhasadream]

Disney's music from the parks has a version sung by Brian McKnight.

[@humbertoribeiro3192]

Replaced by Share a Dream Come True Parade in 2001

[@asdTubeU]

Walt Disney World is in Florida. This parade "celebrated" Walt Disney World's 25th year.

[@halamadrid9221]

Does anyone know where to get this song? I need this so much as a child memory🥺🥺

[@JonnyHenri]

[@じゃがた-v5e]

リメンバー・ザ・ドリーム とテーマ曲が一緒だ。。。

[@aaasada100]

ショーどころかパークのベースもWDWと米国の没策を持ってきてるからいろんなところが似てたりしますよ。キャストのコスやショウ、コンプラに至るまで

[@じゃがた-v5e]

+aaasada100 コスとかは、万国共通だったりするので あまり、違和感ありませんが リヴィラや、ファンティリュージョンみたいに 使い回しはねぇ。。。
