Every day the stars from Walt Disney's classic animated films come to life in "Disney On Parade," a lavish moving spectacle in Hong Kong Disneyland Park. Nearly 100 performers and technicians plus articulated puppet figures are part of the colorful parade. The lineup of gala floats featured in the new parade include the lead float (pictured above) inviting everyone to "Join the Magic," Band Leader Mickey, Animation float, Walt Disney Studios float, Disney Princesses, Alice in Wonderland, The Little Mermaid, Toy Story and the Castle Float Finale.
Dancers wearing skirts that resemble large movie-film reels lead the Walt Disney Studios float depicting Mickey's adventurous role in the cartoon short, "Plane Crazy." Mickey is flying high above a black-and-white film set that transitions to a colorful scene depicting Walt Disney's groundbreaking, full-color animation.
Alice rides aboard a giant psychedelic mushroom with Dancing Flowers, the Cheshire Cat and a pompous Caterpillar towering behind. Alongside the float, the Queen of Hearts chases the White Rabbit while Gooney Birds and Dancing Pansies whirl along the way.
Starring Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, Disney's own royal family stages a party atop the grandest float of all, a rolling replica of Sleeping Beauty Castle. Nearby are Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Goofy and Pluto. An upbeat, contemporary version of the parade theme music heard at the start of the procession completes the party atmosphere.
