There are endless beautiful sights in Monterey, California – from the beautiful beaches and hiking to the world-famous Monterey Bay Aquarium. See what else there is to do!
I don't know about you, but I had not realized that it's been 10 years since Disneyland last created an original parade! That's a lot of Mickey's Soundsational Parade, The Electric Light Parade, Paint the Night and Pixar Pal's Parade that I've seen over and over...so Magic Happens was a breath of fresh air.
This larger than life, super colorful and catchy music-filled parade is one you won't want to miss on your next visit to Disneyland. There are lots of good spots to view this parade, as characters and dancers interact on both sides of the street.
So check out my video below and leave me a comment telling me what you think!
This year, Mickey's Soundsational Parade is making a return! With new floats and costumes to commemorate his 90th birthday, even repeat customers will enjoy this updated parade.
Here is the map I included in the video for a closer look at where you sit and the parade route for this particular view that my video includes.
In this video, the view is from the 3rd row in reserved seating for the
parade. This seating is primarily used for VIP tour guide guests.
What Disneyland has to say:
Strike up the band! In honor of Mickey’s 90th, the Soundsational Parade
triumphantly returns to Disneyland Park with all-new additions sure to
get toes a-tappin’. Mickey leads the way, followed by Chip, Dale and a
giant cake baked especially for the celebration—then keep your eyes
peeled for Goofy, who’s towing a larger-than-life pull-toy “gift”!
Look sharp as Mickey and his drum corps kick off this whimsical,
rhythmical, high-energy procession, which stars some of your favorite
Disney Characters. Wave to Minnie and Pluto as well as familiar faces
from Aladdin, The Lion King, The Little Mermaid and more. Costumed
musicians, syncopated dancers and spectacular floats follow Mickey’s
animated beat, encouraging Guests to sing along.
Plus, the royal procession of Disney Princesses—including Snow White,
Cinderella, Aurora, Belle and Rapunzel—is not to be missed!
I was super excited to be able to finally visit the Food and Wine Festival at Disney California Adventure! There are some excellent food and drink choices out there, including fun opportunities for kids to be able to "bake" a treat, too. There are excellent bands and musicians themed just for this event that are not to be missed as well.
My favorite items that I tried? The dole pineapple cotton candy, the dole strawberry pineapple float (both found at LA Style), and the sweet corn nuggets found at "off the cob". There are many other things I plan to try again on my next trip!
Have you sampled something amazing from this? Let me know what you enjoyed most in the comments, either here, or on my video posted on YouTube. Thanks!
