WHAT WILL YOU SEE IN WALT DISNEY'S PARADE OF DREAMS? In the slide show above, you saw a number of Disney characters, dancers and floats from the parade. The slide show included pictures of---
Snow White and some of the Seven Dwarfs
ARE THERE OTHER CHARACTERS IN THE PARADE who aren't pictured on this page? OF COURSE there are! There are just too many characters, dancers, and float details to include pics of every one of them. Not even seen on this page...but present in the parade...include Belle and The Beast, Cinderella, Mickey Mouse, Pinocchio, and still other Disney characters.
You'll find "Walt Disney's Parade of Dreams" being performed regularly at Disneyland Park in Anaheim, California. This popular Disneyland parade is performed ALMOST every day of the year...either once or twice per day. There are some notable times when this parade is NOT performed: mainly, during the Christmas season, when a special seasonal parade is offered, instead.
IS WALT DISNEY'S PARADE OF DREAMS A NIGHTTIME PARADE? Actually, whether you see this lovely Disneyland Park parade during the daytime or at night depends on the time of year you visit the park. During the summertime...with its longer days and sunsets that don't occur until after 8 pm...you'll probably experience Walt Disney's Parade of Dreams as a daytime parade. Even if you visit Disneyland Park on a day when 2 performances are scheduled, both will take place during daylight hours. However, if you visit the Disneyland theme park when days are shorter...such as the wintertime and early spring...you'll be able to experience some parade performances after dark. While Walt Disney's Parade of Dreams is both beautiful and whimsical whether seen in the daylight or at night, you'll be able to view the parade floats' nighttime lighting only during evening performances.
Some Disney parades are more interactive than others. Parades such as "High School Musical 2" and "Block Party Bash" pull in viewers from the sidelines to dance, clap and sway with the characters in the parade. Walt Disney's Parade of Dreams is more "traditional," in the sense that kids don't actually dance with the performers as the parade passes by them. Nevertheless, characters from the parade DO visit the parade's sidelines, waving at onlookers...and occasionally stopping to shake hands. Characters mounted atop floats (who cannot actually leave the float & meet guests on the sidelines) actively wave to BOTH sides of the crowd so that everyone will get a chance to see them.
WILL VIEWING WALT DISNEY'S PARADE OF DREAMS CAUSE ME TO MISS OTHER DISNEYLAND RESORT ENTERTAINMENT? Disneyland Park schedules usually "stagger" performances so that guests attending the park for only one day will, nevertheless, have a chance to view all of the MAJOR entertainment offerings at Disneyland Park. On nights that they're offered, you'll get to view the Fantasmic show and the fireworks display in addition to watching Walt Disney's Parade of Dreams. As an alternative, you may "hop" over to the Disney California Adventure Park and watch Disney's Electrical Parade, a popular nighttime performance that's adored by both new and repeat visitors alike. On nights when both parades are scheduled, they are shown at different performance times from one another.
One thing that you WILL miss, however, is time away from Disneyland Park's many fun rides while you're waiting for parades and other scheduled entertainment. Which is better--the rides or the entertainment? The answer is that, "There's NO answer to that question!" It totally depends upon your own personal tastes and interests what you'd enjoy best. When in doubt, try to remember that it's impossible to see and do everything at the Disneyland Park in only one day. In order to experience as many rides AND performances as possible, try to stay more than one day. If that's not possible, be sure to know in advance of your visit which attractions are on your "must see" list---and plan accordingly. Lastly, don't forget to pick up the latest showtime schedule as you enter the park...every day that you enter! Never assume that the show schedules will be the same on your 2nd or 3rd day at the park as they were on the 1st day you arrived. It's sad to say...but some guests have been known to miss shows they wanted to see because they made that assumption!

It is possible, however, that you may not be able to see all major AND "minor" entertainment events all in one day's time. (The word "minor" is in quote marks...because what may seem unimportant to one guest, may be another visitor's favorite show!)
