Disney Facts: Macy’s Thanksgiving Balloons at Walt Disney World

For nearly 85 years large balloons have been walked down New York City streets as part of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. For a brief period those large balloons were brought to the Disney-MGM Studios, when it was was called that.

In 1992, Kermit, the Frog, Betty Boop, Santa Goofy and Humpty Dumpty all hung out out along the old New York Street backlot. Eventually, the balloons and parade moved to Universal Studios.
