History
The parade's soundtrack was released as its own album in 2001, rather than being featured on the Walt Disney World Official Album.

In 2013, following reports that the SpectroMagic floats had been destroyed, Disney confirmed that the parade had been permanently retired.

The Piece of Disney History collection became "A Piece of SpectroMagic History" Collection for the year 2014. Each month one, limited-edition Disney pin was released and contained different original elements from the former SpectroMagic parade.
