The parade travels from Tomorrowland down Main Street, U.S.A. to Town Square. Parade floats and performers spray guests with water as they dance and play. Many of the floats are designed to look like oversized toys.

The lead float sprays water out of an open top. Pixar character faces are on the sides. It's followed by Buzz Lightyear on a small tower float.

Once the entire parade is on Main Street, it makes a show stop. Characters dance to a medley of Pixar songs including "If I Didn't Have You" from Monsters, Inc., "You've Got A Friend in Me" from Toy Story, and original songs about cooling down. Street performers grab Pixar balls from the sides of floats to spray guests with more water.

The show stop is about 7 minutes, dousing guests with water all the while. Then the parade continues down Main Street.

Cooling parades are also a staple of Tokyo Disneyland — but not Walt Disney World, which is often plagued by oppressive heat. Do you wish the Florida resort had cool-down initiatives like this? Let us know on social media!
