Tinks Float Lights Out

As they say, "The Show Must Go On".  And it did with Disney's Electrical Parade in Disney's California Adventure.

On August 5, 2009 The leading Tinkerbell Float had a small malfunction. The majority of lights were completely off, leaving only the balloon and the twinkle lights on. Of course, Tink was lit up as usual, but with the float being "dark", it was hard to see her.

At 8:45, the introduction fanfare began and the music started. But the parade gates remained closed. It wasn't until the third repeat of the song did the parade gates open and the leading Tink float came out.   And this is what it looked like...

A New Float [SPOILER]

I just happen to have my camera with me as I was walking through the Main Entrance Plaza when I saw something from the corner of my eye that was glowing, with sparking lights. I wondered what it could be. As the glowing spectacle approached the Sun Plaza, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was the new opening float for Disney's Electrical Parade.

Unfortunately, there was no music to accompany this float. It was being pulled by one of those Disney float buggies. Only two floats were passing through, the new float and Cinderella's Pumpkin Coach float.
