In the summer of 1986, Circus Fantasy had just completed it's first season at Disneyland. The daytime parade was Totally Minnie and of course the night time parade was The Main Street Electrical Parade. Disneyland was celebrating Minnie and jazzing her up for wider appeal. The parade was about Minnie making a music video.
Mickey was the producer, Donald the director, Goofy the dance coach, Chip and Dale the music directors. The back up singers were Snow White, Cinderalla, Alice and on occasion Mary Poppins replaced Alice. I called them the Disney Supremes.
It was a cute parade with a good beat that was easy to dance to. It was a time when parades were created to entertain guests with many Disney Characters, instead of just a few. Many characters would interact with children along the parade route. Disney characters and guests reactions were more important than the dance sequences.
