Two performers in colorful costumes drive an old-fashioned car in a Disney parade, with crowds and characters in the background.

The cavalcade begins with the fire truck carrying the Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland. The Hatter and other characters in the cavalcade carry Mickey jack-o’-lantern candy buckets.

The firetruck is followed by one of the park’s recurring cavalcade floats, now decorated for Halloween. It has purple starry trim and green tendrils attached to the railings. On this float are Mickey and Friends in their 2025 Halloween costumes.

On a ledge at the front of the float is a cauldron overflowing with a green potion. Around it are potion bottles, spell books, crystal balls, and more spooky props.
