I did enjoy it for what it was...and most people hated it because they expected a "replacement" for the Electrical Parade, and "Light Magic" was not a parade, much less electrical. Maybe that is why SpectroTragic has fared so much better as a replacement.

Plus making such a big fanfare of the MSEP leaving and then quickly brining in Light Magic was a sure way to get fans with high expectations.

Originally Posted By TDLFAN The truth is...(as shown at TDL), ALL of the Princesses, including Minnie, recite the "bring back the Light" quote at the end in unison. But guests only got to hear the specific character performing it in front of them. EG- if you were in front of the Aladdin float during the show mode, then you'd one hear Jasmine say the line. But it happened simultaneously thru the entire "Happy Ending" finale.
