Photos: A look back at the Remember the Magic parade

When Walt Disney World celebrated its 25th anniversary it created a special parade that was so good that when it was over, it was renamed Disney’s Magical Moments Parade.

The parade, called Remember the Magic, started with Sorcerer Mickey leading the way on a special Cinderella Castle-inspired float filled with Disney characters. Ariel and other characters from “The Little Mermaid” appeared in an impressive seashell float, surrounded by dancing fish friends, who would periodically pause and encourage guests to celebrate by dancing along. “The Lion King” also had its own float, which featured Simba, Pumbaa and other characters from the film. Rafiki also walked along the parade path and encouraged young guests to participate in the fun by beating drums.
