This video is of both Buzz Lightyear shooters, in Magic Kingdom and Disneyland.
It's not a very good video, because I was shooting targets, not shooting a video, lol.
But, I'm publishing both anyway.

Carousel of Progress opened at the 1964 World's Fair in New York. After the attraction closed, it was moved to Disneyland, and finally to Magic Kingdom, where it still operates to this day.
Come and join our modern family, as they live through the 1900's, 1920's, 1940's and modern day...
This is a Sherman Brother's attraction.

A Day 1 attraction in the Magic Kingdom. If you do some quick calculations, this show has had over a half-million performances...

This is a closed attraction, almost a Sherman Brother's attraction. (They do use the first couple of lines before everything is interrupted by Zazu...)
This attraction wasn't well received, and after a small fire, was converted into The Original Tiki Room...

This video is a compilation of a half dozen videos, taking the best of each. I overlaid much of the audio with the original Paul Frees narration, plus the Magic Kingdom additions. All of the audio (including Walt's) was ripped from The Haunted Mansion CD, sold in the parks.

This is "it's a small world" version 2.0, perhaps one of the most iconic of all Disney Attractions. (Version 1.0 from the New York World's Fair still operates in Disneyland.)
It, along with Mary Poppins, solidified The Sherman Brothers as one of the world's most known song writers. Sorry for the subliminal message at the start, lol...
The Disneyland version can be found on my website here.

The Many Adventures of Winnie The Pooh has been a staple in Magic Kingdom since 1999. It's another Sherman Brother's attraction.
The Disneyland version can be found on my website here.

Peter Pan's Flight was a Day 3 attraction in Magic Kingdom. (I'm unable to find out exactly why it didn't open on Day 1, but Magic Kingdom was a chaotic mess at the time, lol.)
The first half of the video is the "Flight". The second half is comparing the attraction to the concept model found in the attraction One Man's Dream in Disney's Hollywood Studios.
Pirates of the Caribbean (SD Version)

This is a standard definition, pre-2006 refurb video of Pirates, featuring the parrot in front of the attraction. (The parrot is 2003 video, the attraction itself is from 2001.)
It's a marginal video, since the 480i video was grainy due to the low light conditions, made worse when re-rendered to 1080p.

This is a high definition, post-2006 version of what is probably the most well associated Disney movie/theme park attraction.
Welcome Barbossa and Jack Sparrow to be forever an animatronic. Jack's animatronic is sorta scary, lol.

Snow White's Scary Adventures was a Day 1 attraction in Magic Kingdom. It closed at the end of May, 2012.
It's a very dark ride, it's short, the ride vehicles move too fast and make too much noise, lol.
I had to push the video in a few place, and you can tell. Sorry about that...
Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover (SD+HD)

Technically this video is a complete ride-through of the Tomorrowland Transit Authority, and a complete ride-through of the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover, because this attraction has had 3 or 4 names at one time or another...
So the first half is in standard definition during the day (enhanced to 1080p), and the second half is in high def at night.

This was Magic Kingdom's 100 Years Of Magic parade, which ran from 2001 to 2006.
After taping the Full Version (above), I got in front of the parade while leaving the park, and retaped the same parade in Town Square. It's the only parade I have in Town Square (in Magic Kingdom).

Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls
The Magic Kingdom proudly presents our
spectacular festival pageant of nighttime
magic and imagination in thousands of
sparkling lights and electro-syntho-magnetic
musical sounds...
This was Magic Kingdom's nightly parade for a brief two-year run from mid-1999 to mid-2001.
Probably my favorite Disney parade. It's too bad HD didn't exist back then, lol.

Magic Kingdom called this "The Main Street Electrical Parade", but it's really "Disney's Electrical Parade." It replaced SpectroMagic! in 2010, after being ousted from Disney's California Adventure.

Fantasy In The Sky was the nighty fireworks show in Magic Kingdom from opening day...night until 2003, when it was replaced by Wishes.

Wishes was Magic Kingdom's nightly fireworks show from 2003 to 2017. Wishes was one of those Holy Crap moments the first time I saw it. The control they had over the pyro (as opposed to Fantasy In The Sky) was amazing.
This (or Illuminations) was my first attempt at an audio overlay, and that's when I found out that a digital soundtrack, is a digital soundtrack no matter what medium. I've only used the ambient audio to cover any silence in-between audio tracks on the CD.
Hallowishes

Hallowishes is the Halloween version of Wishes, only shown during Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party.
Your host Jiminy Cricket is replaced by your Host. Your Ghost Host. Like Wishes, this is a pure fireworks show.
Taken where all versions of Wishes should be seen, on Main Street.
The overlaid soundtrack came on the Walt Disney World Holiday Magic CD, sold in the parks.

Holiday Wishes is the Christmas version of Wishes, hosted by Jiminy Cricket. It is typically only shown during Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party.
This version of Holiday Wishes is from 2006, the first year I ventured into high definition, and the first time I was at Disney World in December. The Holiday Wishes CD they sold in the parks overlays the soundtrack perfectly.
Interestingly, when Disney put the Ice Lights on the castle, they reworked Holiday Wishes (probably finishing the transformation of Christmas Wishes to Holiday Wishes), and cut around two minutes from the show. So this video is a bit different than my 2010 version of Holiday Wishes, and why the 2010 version doesn't have the soundtrack overlay.
And it's recorded on Main Street, where all Magic Kingdom fireworks should be seen, lol.
Holiday Wishes (2010)

This is a newer version of Holiday Wishes, it's run-time shortened by around two minutes.
This show was taken by the Crystal Palace, so it's offset a little bit.
Unfortunately, the soundtrack no longer matched the CD, so this video doesn't have a soundtrack replacement. (It's the reason I posted the 2006 version, above.) However, I am right in front of a speaker, so the ambient audio is pretty good.
Rusty Cutlass

Rusty Cutlass was one of those shows I just happened upon during Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. (Almost right across from Pirates of the Caribbean.) I only have the last three minutes of the show. I don't recall them being on the times sheet, otherwise I probably would have gone back to get the whole show.
Mickey's Boo To You Halloween Parade

This really isn't a nighttime parade, but it's held (twice) during Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. At night.
It starts with the Headless Horseman, sort of the Parade pre-show.
The audio remains live until I could overlay the video with the CD audio, at about 1:30. It's a mix of live and replacement audio from there. Because all the audio is digital, it matched exactly, I could switch between one or the other (or use both) seamlessly...
It seems to be one of those audio tracks that will keep playing over and over in your head, so you've been warned, lol...

Mickey's Once Upon A Christmastime Parade is the parade held (twice) during Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. It's also held during the day close to Christmas. And it's the same parade that's taped for Christmas Day broadcast on ABC, except it doesn't have the so-called stars.
This video was taped in Liberty Square with Hall of Presidents in the background.
