What Floats Can I Expect To See?
The Princess Garden
The beautiful and powerful princesses, A Walt Disney World tradition, this pageantry celebrates the royal family of princesses. The magical gown of Cinderella twirls like a turntable while Swan Court couples lead the float. The 50-foot long float is capped off with an appearance by Anna & Elsa, leading all those present at this palace ball into delightedly dreaming about their own princess adventures to come!
Tangled
What’s more fun than a massive long ship on the high seas? Flynn Rider and Rapunzel in search of adventure, that’s what! They’re out to make another Best Day Ever. This 36-foot float decked with swinging pendulums carrying villainous thugs is just an added bonus too boot – classic style right here folks!
The Little Mermaid
Ariel and her friends sit atop a colorful seashell music box that boasts an enchanting musical jubilee. You can hear the whimsy on this Under The Sea float with dancing fish flapping their fins to the beat. The talented performers’ garments are intricately designed and based on Lion Fish, Coral Fish, Sea Shells and Sea Horses. A true underwater paradise!
Peter Pan
Plucked straight out of Never Land, this float features Peter Pan and Wendy on the Jolly Roger pirate ship that boasts smoking canons. The float also features Skull Rock and is complete with Tinker Bell situated in flowers. The float is lead by a gang of spritely Lost Boys that sport impressive costumes that are sure to never grow old!
Brave
This massive bagpipe gives centerstage to Merida who is perched high on a majestic crown. You can also see Scottish dancers bouncing to the melodies of the highlands.
Sleeping Beauty
Next you’ll find a massive fire-breathing dragon inspired by the wicked Maleficent creeping through the parade. This impressive feat of engineering has fully articulating legs that offer a foreboding march to this organic-looking float. Truly a sight to behold!
Mickey’s Airship
