Disney Celebrates America:

• The Walt Disney Company's celebration of America's 250th anniversary continued with their presence at the 137th Rose Parade, starting with the yellow horseless carriage from Disneyland driving Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse down the parade route.
• The vehicle was adorned with various flowers, including red poppies, which are widely recognized as a symbol of remembrance for fallen military personnel dating back to World War I.
• Walking alongside the vehicle were veterans who are now cast members and employees of The Walt Disney Company.
• Disney's celebration will continue with a major broadcast event on ABC and Disney+, as well as Soarin' Across America coming to Disney California Adventure and EPCOT
