“Magic Happens” at Disneyland: A Parade of Disney Magic and Pixar Wonders

A spectacular world of wonders awaits visitors at Disneyland Park with the daily “Magic Happens” parade. Celebrating beloved moments from Walt Disney and Pixar films, it embodies a fascinating blend of modern and classic elements.

A Kaleidoscope of Fantasy

Presented by Disney Live Entertainment, the “Magic Happens” parade brings to life the magic of Disney and Pixar through impressive floats and artistic costumes. Along Main Street, U.S.A., guests dive into a world where over two dozen characters from popular films interact with energetic music, blending familiar Disney melodies with new songs.

A Moving Work of Art

The parade features nine artfully designed floats, functioning as moving works of art. Accompanied by over 90 performers, each element tells its own story. Two original songs, the main theme “Magic Happens” and a special finale song, enrich the musical array. The finale's music pays tribute to previous Disney entertainment productions, with the soundtrack and choreography significantly influenced by Todrick Hall.

Enchanting Highlights

Led by Mickey Mouse and accompanied by Minnie, Donald, Goofy, Pluto, and other iconic characters, the parade captivates the audience. The “Moana” float, with its voyager canoe and towering wave, stands out. The “Coco” float celebrates Miguel and the connection between the land of the living and the dead, while “Frozen 2” takes Anna, Elsa, and friends on a magical journey into the Enchanted Forest.

A Magical Finale

The grand finale of the parade showcases magical moments with Genie, Aladdin, Tinkerbell, and many more. It is followed by scenes reminiscent of Cinderella, Merlin and Arthur, Tiana and Naveen, and the “Sleeping Beauty” scenario, underscoring the magic of the parade.
