New Disneyland parade ‘Magic Happens’ to debut Feb. 28, 2020
The new “Magic Happens” parade, celebrating moments of magic in various Disney stories, will debut Feb. 28, 2020, at Disneyland.
Mickey Mouse will lead the new daytime parade down Main Street, U.S.A., revealing a parade of floats, costumes and beloved Disney characters. “Magic Happens” will also feature an energetic musical score and a new song, co-composed by singer-songwriter Todrick Hall.
Highlights of the new parade will include:
“Frozen 2,” Anna and Elsa explore the mysteries of an enchanted forest protected by Nokk, the mystical water spirit, as their friends Kristoff, Sven and Olaf tag along.
On her voyager canoe, Moana journeys forth on the crest of a towering wave, inspired by beautiful koa wood carvings and inset with dazzling, animated glimpses into the magic the ocean holds.
Joining Moana on her journey is legendary demigod, Maui, making his Disneyland Resort debut on his own magical island, along with Moana’s adorable pet pig, Pua.
Miguel appears in person for the first time, celebrating the magic that happens when he strums the guitar of Ernesto de la Cruz in the Disney and Pixar film, “Coco.” This float bridges the Land of the Living and the Land of the Dead with marigolds, and fantastical alebrije spirit animals join the procession, along with Miguel’s dog Danté.
The finale of “Magic Happens” celebrates magical moments from several classic Disney stories, including the happily-ever-after scene from “Sleeping Beauty” with a trio of fairies and Princess Aurora’s gown shimmering between hues of pink and blue. (Disney)
