The MSEP on the Freeway around WDW !

[DLRP_bopazot]

yes it's seems unbelievable but it's true .

Back in 2000 or 1999 just before the MSEP came back to WDW for the millenium .

Disney advertised the MSEP on the freeway .

Yeah, it also went through New York when Hercules came out.

Except DCA it's really rare to see it outside a Magic Kingdom .

That's dang cool!

Re: The MSEP on the Freeway around WDW !

That's neat and cool. I wouldn't mind being stuck in traffic behind that (well for a few minutes anyways).

That is funny I never saw or heard of that before.

Re: The MSEP on the Freeway around WDW !

OMG I can only imagine the traffic nightmare that created!

[Disney Magic]

Re: The MSEP on the Freeway around WDW !

Does anyone know where or what roads they actually did this on?

[captsmith84]

Re: The MSEP on the Freeway around WDW !

This was on I-4.

Re: The MSEP on the Freeway around WDW !

This was on I-4.

That is what I first thought when I read freeway, but figured that would be impossible. How funny would it be if those floats were speeding down I-4 at 70 MPH, having Goofy cutting in front of lost tourists.

Re: The MSEP on the Freeway around WDW !

Like I-4 isn't bad enough on a normal day! But I agree with Melonballer, I wouldn't have minded being stuck with that to watch.

That is a mental image I did NOT need!

And Minnie would be turning around flipping the cut-off tourists the bird.

I can see a street in New York, but not a freeway. Especially I-4! That place is crazy enough without a float coming through!

Totally awesome!!!

Re: The MSEP on the Freeway around WDW !

Actually, I remember when the "Hercules Electrical Parade," what it was called for it's one night run in NYC, shopkeepers were quite upset that they were asked to lower their lights so it would help the parade shine in all its glory.

One of my regrets is not talking my parents into going to see that in the city (almost had them there too...)

The sight of an oversized electric snail going over the speed limit would send me to the loony bin.

"Tonight we end our parade with a tribute to America FDOT."

shopkeepers were quite upset that they were asked to lower their lights so it would help the parade shine in all its glory.

Every shop that turned off their lights did so voluntarily and was happy to do it. It's news to me that the owners of any of the stores were upset. Maybe the employees of the stores, but not the managers or owners. Heh heh.

No, it was the owners, since people can not shop in darkened stores. It was either in the paper or on the news.
