"We felt like snow globes kind of captured innocence and imaginative quality," says Walt Disney Entertainment Managing Producer John Haupt. "There's something quintessentially magic about them." The parade becomes a tribute to Walt the Dreamer and the fabulous heritage of the Disney animated characters.
The parade opens with a float representing Mickey Mouse throughout his career, with our live Mickey inside the globe. The next one celebrates Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Pinocchio, with Pinocchio inside the globe. Next you'll see a tribute to flying characters, like Mary Poppins, Bernard and Bianca, and Aladdin, whose friend Genie has become a hot air balloon.
The villains follow -- the Evil Queen from Snow White in the globe, surrounded by Chernabog, Jafar, and Ursula. The Disney Princesses come next. "This is three globes in one," Haupt adds," with The Little Mermaid and Prince Eric, Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella and Prince Charming."
The parade finale is "The Castle in the Clouds," with Peter Pan and a host of characters. The float magically lifts up to reveal a crystal carousel inside.
