Disney on Parade

I remember when Barbie first showed us pictures she'd taken from her first Disney experience... one of them being a video of the Disney on parade. I secretly wished we had seen it first hand - well, this afternoon was a wish fulfillment of sorts. Unfortunately, there are some things one does not realize while watching the video... number one being the sun's heat on you - specially since the parade was obviously an outdoor event. Still, we braved the afternoon heat and patiently waited in one section of the circle in Main Street U.S.A.

Sure enough, the parade started coming, and I tried taking pictures of all the floats with the different characters. Here are a few pictures of said parade.

Naturally, the parade wouldn't be complete without Mickey and friends.

Over-all a nice experience, though I would have wanted to see more characters - for example, I don't remember seeing any of Jim Henson's muppets anywhere. Too bad... I would have wanted to take a pciture of Kermit, Piggy and the rest of the gang.
