The celebration of food will also be outside the park. Also joining the fun this year, select Downtown Disney District locations will offer festival-insired food and beverage options.
4. New “Magic Happens” Parade
This is the one many people have been waiting for, a new daytime parade debuts on Feb. 28 at Disneyland. This new parade, led by Mickey Mouse and his pals, celebrates moments of magic from Walt Disney Animation Studios and Pixar Animation Studios films as they are brought to life with stunning floats, artistic costumes and an energetic musical score and a new song co-composed by singer-songwriter Todrick Hall.
In addition to the floats, the parade route along Main Street, U.S.A., will be filled with performers and more than two dozen Disney and Pixar characters. Many performers and characters in “Magic Happens” will don all-new costumes, specifically made for this parade.
