With the absence of Magic Happens and several months to go before the debut of Mickey & Friends Celebrate Happy! for the 70th anniversary, Disneyland has brought back the “Brand New Day” Mickey & Friends cavalcade to supplement the entertainment lineup.

Mickey and Friends Cavalcade Returns to Disneyland

A colorful parade float from the Mickey and Friends Cavalcade features beloved cartoon characters in a lively park setting, complete with a large drum and whimsical decorations, all surrounded by trees and excited onlookers in the background.

The beginning float for the cavalcade is a large drum with a wooden Mickey Mouse standing over it. This float was previously used in the 2019 Mickey’s Soundsational Parade, as well as the 2013 Happiness is Here parade at Tokyo Disneyland. The music playing for this cavalcade is also the “Brand New Day” theme song originally created for the 35th anniversary in 2018.

Performers in colorful shirts dance joyfully as a crowd watches the Mickey and Friends Cavalcade in an outdoor theme park setting. Trees and a decorative building frame the lively scene, adding to the enchanting atmosphere.

Following the large float is a group of dancers. The dancers are wearing the same costumes from the previous run at Disneyland Park in 2022.

A car from the Main Street Vehicles is used to transport Mickey and Minnie as they wave to the crowds.

Mickey and Minnie are followed by a group of walking characters that includes Chip, Dale, Pluto, and Goofy.

The Mickey and Friends Cavalcade features a vibrant double-decker bus filled with beloved characters and excited passengers, weaving its way through the amusement park as delighted visitors look on.

The large double-decker Omnibus is used to transport more characters, including Miguel and Pinocchio.

Following the bus is a second group of walking characters. This larger second group features the Mad Hatter, Alice, Mirabel, Jasmine, Aladdin, the Genie, Captain Hook, and Peter Pan.

A costumed character resembling a duck rides in a vintage yellow Disneyland transportation vehicle, part of the lively Mickey and Friends Cavalcade, driven by a man with park visitors enjoying the spectacle in the background.

A final yellow car brings up the rear of the cavalcade. Donald and Daisy wave from the seats out toward the crowds.

The Mickey and Friends Cavalcade is at 1:45 p.m. and 2:45 p.m. daily.
