So glad you enjoyed it and remember it! I have other Disney videos from the early 1980s you might like: 1982 Fantasy on Parade, 1983 American Gazette Parade, and 3 different 1982 EPCOT Center videos.

We’ve been finding other gems from 40 years ago too. Look on my channel for videos from 1982 EPCOT Center and Disneyland parades from 1982-84.

Not that I know of, but I’ve been discovering several vintage Disney gems in my old VHS tapes. More to come! Thanks for watching!

This is so cool!! I didn’t go to Disneyland till 1995. Miss the 80’s vibe so much! They used a song from Willy Wonka. They would never do that now.🤣 Even the Wooden Soldiers were there!😄 Thanks so much for the video!!

I remember the song Pure Imagination from Willie Wonka surprised me even at the time, great song though! I agree they’d never do that now. Thanks for watching!

Pretty good quality recording for 40 years old. I don’t know if star wars had that big of an opening for its land

Your wish has been granted. Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge opened at Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resort in 2019.

15:08 - That song is from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971). It's from Paramount Pictures.

Yes, it was a very interesting choice considering it’s not Disney. However, it is a fantastic song and fits into the theme well.

What a great take on Disneyland and the Disney parks. Thanks! May I propose you take yourself to Paris, Shanghai, Tokyo, and Hong Kong. You're going to experience some very interesting takes on Disneyland cir 1980. -Frank

I Love How "When You Wish Upon a Star" was Played after the Ceremony. By the Way, did all the Guests Enter the Castle After the Stage was Cleared Out?

I don’t think there was a grand crossing since there was a lot to clear out. Not completely sure though

Why are they doing a song from "Willy Wonka" (at 15:08)? That's not Disney. The closest it comes is an episode of "The Muppet Show", where guest star du jour Ben Vereen sings it, but Disney did not own the Muppets back then.

Probably the same way they did in the original book. Or in the Tim Burton movie from 2005.

Disney Parks, over the years, have never shied away from using "foreign" songs if they fit the theme ... in fact, during those years too ... Leslie Bricusse's other songs were also used for the Xmas Spectacular Show at WDW .... songs from SCROOGE actually! ;-)
