Disneyland Guests Treated to Sneak Peek at Upcoming Parade
On Friday April 22nd Disneyland Park guests were offered a sneak peek at Walt Disney's Parade of Dreams. This all-new parade will highlight the many classic Disney stories and characters that have contributed to the magic of Disneyland over the past five decades. The floats were on display along Main Street as a commercial for the celebration was filmed.
"Walt Disney's Parade of Dreams" will perform twice daily during the upcoming 18-month celebration. "The parade will be a grand procession and performance that will thrill, engage and amaze our audience," said Anne Hamburger, executive vice president, Disney Creative Entertainment. "We have pulled out all the stops to include one of the largest gatherings of Disney Characters ever, plus fantastic dancers, rhythmic gymnasts, trampoline performers and aerial artists whose talents will take this parade to a whole new level-literally."
Raul Rodriguez, famed float designer for the world famous Pasadena Tournament of Roses Parade, served as a key production designer in the creation of "Walt Disney's Parade of Dreams." The parade floats will act as rolling stages, featuring not only distinctive design but such whimsical elements as jumping fountains, confetti blasts, wafting bubbles and elaborate puppetry. Some of the float units will reach heights of nearly 20 feet.
