Share a Dream Come True Parade

Each snow globe has its own name and tells a special story featuring some of your favorite Disney characters. The floats also make periodic stops along the parade route to interact with guests.

“It Was All Started By a Mouse”
This snow globe features the star of the show, Mickey Mouse himself, accompanied by eleven sculpted figures representing the evolution of Mickey throughout the years. You’ll see Mickey as he appeared in such films as Steamboat Willie, The Brave Little Tailor, Plane Crazy, Mickey and the Beanstalk, and Mickey’s Christmas Carol. And of course you’ll see Mickey in his most famous role; that of the Sorcerer’s Apprentice in Fantasia. Mickey is joined on the float by many of his friends including Minnie Mouse and Goofy.

Little Known Facts

Each of the snow globes featured in the Share a Dream Come True parade is eight feet in diameter and constructed of 400 pounds of acrylic material (the same kind used for the windshields of jet fighters!). A company called Custom Plastics in British Columbia created each one of the globes by heating the material in a forced-air oven. Each snow globe was secured in a large ring and blown up like an enormous soap bubble.

Some of the floats feature their own special effects in addition to the strobe lights, fog and snow common to all the globes. For example, the Evil Queen from Snow White transforms into the Old Witchs right before your eyes, and Aladdin’s magic carpet actually flies around inside its globe. Additionally, if you have a Magical Moments pin, it will interact with the parade at special moments.

The parade music was recorded by members of the London Symphony Orchestra and the Royal Philharmonic.

The parade features an ensemble of 110 Cast Members. In addition to the performers, this number includes the float drivers and coordinators.
