Magic Happens parade returning to Disneyland in February 2023

The Magic Happens parade returns to Disneyland on Feb. 24, 2023.

The parade debuted at Disneyland for a limited time in February 2020 presenting a celebration of moments from Disney and Pixar films. The parade was led by no other than Mickey Mouse.

From a legendary guitar to the heart of the ocean, these moments come to life with two original songs, the main theme “Magic Happens” and a special song for the Grand Finale. The music was composed by singer-songwriter Todrick Hall, a former cast member, who started is career at Disney World as a performer in “Beauty and the Beast – Live on Stage.”

In the original parade, more than two dozen characters will be part of the parade as “guests experience classic tales such as “Cinderella,” “Sleeping Beauty,” and “The Sword in the Stone,” as well as more recent stories from “Frozen 2,” “Coco,” and “Moana,” according to Disneyland. Whether or not this will remain when it returns is unknown.
