with the 20th anniversay there has been a lack of shows and parades with substance like the good old days, i'm guessing because of all the budget went on dreams? I hope this changes, I'd love to see the main street electrical parade back!!! Classic and still such a spectacle! wdw have it atm!
Anyway does anybody know of anything that is due to come aftet the 20th anniversary?

it would be too expensive actually, as either they keep the old lights, which need lots of power, or they would have to change all floats' lights to LEDs, which will also cost a lot due to there being so many

I think you got the topic name wrong, isn't the Main Street Electrical Parade the American version? The actual name is Fantillusion.

EDIT: Just did some research, and it DID run from April 12th 1992 to March 23rd 2003. I have never seen this show due to me being with my foster parents who never took me to DLRP. So yes, I'm adopted!

The Baroque Hoedown is actually my ringtome, that's how much I still love this parade. I am not sure, but isn't it still running in Tokyo?

It's called The Tokyo Disneyland Electrical Parade Dream Lights, in Tokyo. It's an up dated version of the original Main Street Electrical Parade with some magnificent floats and the Baroque Hoedown.
I would love to see The Fantilusion Parade back on at DLP, my favourite parade, the music was fantastic, I liked it better than MSEP.

We can dream, highly unlikely to have two parades at night going at once, especially so with Dreams.

The last time I was at DLR was August 2013. They were running Both Dreams and Fantilusion. Was one of the best end to a day you could get. Very sadliy missed now.  If Dreams is possibly going to be shown on selected evenings wouldnt it be nice if Fantilusion could  return on the other nights.

I'm Sure we all miss images like these below

I can remember when I first saw Fantillusion 10 years ago it was so exiting and magical. Your pictures bring back some happy memories. One night last July it was pouring with heavy rain, I thought Disney would cancel the parade but not a bit of it, the music started up and slowly the parade made its way through Fantasyland and around Central Plaza where we were waiting for it. They obviously didn't want to disappoint people. I shall miss watching the parade go down Main Street and then rushing down the Arcade to see it at the end.
As good as Dreams is i hope the Electrical parade will renturn.

I would love to see "Main Street Electrical Parade" return to DLP, because I never got to see it in person!
On the other hand its always exciting to see something new. But as long as there is any kind of a nighttime parade I'm satisfied... which is not the case this summer. :( Of course there is "Dreams", and some might think it would be too much, but maybe they could create something new, that would tie in with the story of "Dreams". Just a thought!. :)
