Electrical Parade Dreamlights Returns

The much-beloved Electrical Parade Dreamlights returns to Tokyo Disneyland from November 1. We’ve all missed the nightly electrical parade – and we are glad to see its return! Check the official Tokyo Disney Resort website for the schedule.
While the parade is returning, it’s not the regular show and has a few alterations for the time being. We’ll have to wait and see how it turns out starting November 1!
There’s still no news on when the borders to Japan will open to foreign tourists.
All our information is from the Oriental Land Co. press release.
