A look at the new parade at Disney-MGM Studios to celebrate 100 Years of Magic - Walt Disney's Birthday.

At Disney-MGM Studios, one of the new things to celebrate 100 Years of Magic is the Disney Stars and Motor Cars parade. The parade, sponsored by Chevy, features 15 cars, 3 motorcycles, 18 drivers and 63 character performers in a cavalcade representing Disney films from Snow White to Aladdin. The music accompanying the parade includes an original song, Spotlight on a Dream, and a compliation of other tunes including When You Wish Upon a Star, the Star Wars Imperial March,  Steps in Time, Welcome to the Big Blue House and many others. However, the songs in the parade are not in sync with the individual sections, it's just a loop that repeats indpendent of the parade segments.
