I have recently released Volume 1 in a series of Walt Disney World Parade DVDs. The first volume is called Magic Kingdom Parade Classics (if you enjoyed past parades like “Mickey Mania” and the “Remember the Magic Parade”, then check below for more details or to order!)
Here are some more photos from around Walt Disney World, taken by Denise at Mousesteps! She is still experiencing site update problems and wanted to get these great timely shots posted. Below are her photos and words:
(Above) A sign for the “Characters in Flight” balloon attraction at Downtown Disney. I was able to see the Disneyland Paris version in person a couple of years back.

Jeff Lange takes you back in time to experience this first in a series of DVDs featuring vintage parades from Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom!
Surprise Celebration Parade (1991)
Stilt walkers and acrobats accompany a variety of floats in this Mardi Gras influenced procession, celebrating the Magic Kingdom’s 20th Anniversary! Marvel as Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy and Roger Rabbit appear as gigantic cold air balloons towering nearly 40 feet above Main Street USA. The parade was shot from multiple camera angles so you don’t miss any of the action!
Mickey Mania Parade (1994)
More than 100 performers dressed in Mickey Mouse inspired costumes and 28 Disney characters join floats and balloons in this lively parade! There are six major themes to the parade, designed to showcase Mickey as seen in merchandise, movies and theme parks from all over the world. These themes are: Mickey in Music, Time, Motion, Toys, Balloons, and Images over the Years.
Remember The Magic Parade (1996)
This beloved parade celebrated the 25th Anniversary of the Magic Kingdom, and was shot in a location that allows you to enjoy three special parade stops! Six unique floats are flanked by characters and dancers: “Remember the Magic” Theme Float, “The Little Mermaid”, “Beauty and the Beast”, “Aladdin’s Treasure”, “The Lion King” and “The Enchanted Forest” (featuring the first Walt Disney World parade to shoot fireworks from a float).
Share A Dream Come True Parade (2001)
In celebration of Walt Disney’s 100th Birthday, this parade featured giant snow globe floats and included an interactive performance parade stop! The floats feature the following themes: “It Was All Started By A Mouse” (Mickey Mouse), “Wish Upon A Star” (Pinocchio), “A Thousand Dreams To See” (Aladdin), “Face The Darkest Fears” (Disney Villians), “A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes” (Prince and Princess) and “As Long as There is Imagination Left in the World” (assorted characters)!
Relive these special Disney parade memories year after year or experience the magic for the first time by purchasing a copy of “Jeff Lange’s Magic Kingdom Parade Classics”.

Denise from site partner Mousesteps is still having site issues, and wanted to share her photos here! She has a new Canon camera with a 20x zoom, which gives some close-up room photos of the Contemporary Resort Bay Lake Tower. Below are her photos and words:
This is taken from the path between the Magic Kingdom and the Contemporary Resort:
Towards the top of the Bay Lake Tower, it looks like an observation deck being built:
Site partner MouseSteps (which is still experiencing site update problems) took another video of the new Magic Kingdom parade “Celebrate A Dream Come True”, this time shot from a different location.

(Note: The videos we present here are for fun and do not represent the quality you will find on my DVDs. They are recorded with a primarily photo camera for my site visitors enjoyment.)
Production Update:
With all the recent discussion about the new “Celebrate A Dream Come True” parade, I have decided that my next DVD release will feature vintage Magic Kingdom parades! It will include the following:
25th Anniversary: Remember The Magic Parade (1996)

I have enjoyed reliving these great parades again and can’t stop humming the “Mickey Mania” and “It’s Time to Remember the Magic” theme music! I hope to have this finished by the end of next week.

Site Partner Mousesteps website is having some issues right now (it’s up and running, but no updates are currently able to be added). Denise went to take photos of the DVC Contemporary Resort Bay Lake Tower and 4th floor construction in the main building after taking new video of the parade at the Magic Kingdom. Below are her photos and words:
This photo was taken from the monorail:
And from the walkway between the Magic Kingdom and the Contemporary:
Mousesteps Denise shares photos and video from the first “Celebrate a Dream Come True” parade at the Magic Kingdom! She enjoyed the catchy new music and thought it was one of the better recent parades – the best since the“25th Anniversary Remember The Magic“Parade!

There are parade stops, but she didn’t see any during the video she took – and the parade went by very quickly (in about 11 minutes). She dashed down to Main Street to take photos near City Hall, and was able to videotape one parade stop with Mickey and Minnie. She will be putting photos on her site soon (once it’s fixed, she’s not been able to add new blog posts for a couple of days now).
Please check back tomorrow for a complete video of this great new Magic Kingdom Parade!
