For more than five and half years Disney characters were driven around Hollywood Studios in true Hollywood style during the Disney Stars and Motor Cars Parade.

The parade kicked of on Oct. 1, 2001, as part of Walt Disney World’s 100 Years of Magic Celebration. Each car was themed toward the various characters.
