Dorsey was really getting into the Moog Synth movement of the 60's and 70's and adapted it for the parade. Perrey was in LA and visited DL and was in shock to hear it. Then of course he was a very special guest at the very last MSEP to go down MSUSA and Disneyland Paris.

Originally Posted By Spirit of 74 A little more off-topic, but doncha think Disney owes some of us Spirits royalty checks for all the PR we do for them, not to mention all the ideas they co-opt and pass off as their own? ~Spirit's new line of WDW planter DVDs coming Fall 2010!~

Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Wow, for me MSEP is the very best parade they have done (though i have yet to see Dreamlights first hand, which may make me change my mind). Fantillusion in DLP is terrible, and I really miss MSEP there. And Spectromagic has a couple of cool floats, but leaves me cold. I think it is the Baroque Hoedown that makes me love it so much.
