Mickey’s Once Upon A Christmastime Parade is one of the many holiday traditions at Disney World, featuring iconic moments like the Toy Soldiers and the Santa Claus float!

For most of the 2021 holiday season, this parade has been exclusively available during the ticketed Very Merriest After Hours event, but now you’ll be able to enjoy it during the day for the rest of 2021!
Today, we caught the first daytime showing of the parade, and it was BUSY! Thankfully, we reserved our viewing area with Genie+ this morning. (For more information on how to do that, click here!)

The parade is the same one that you would’ve seen if you visited the Disney Very Merriest After Hours this year. It kicks off with Mickey, Minnie, and a bunch of other Disney pals!

Throughout the parade, you’ll catch fan-favorite characters, including the cast of Frozen! We saw Olaf…

…Anna and Kristoff…

…and even Elsa making their way down Main Street, U.S.A.

And it wouldn’t be the holidays without Goofy, Max, Chip, Dale, and Clarabelle Cow baking some delicious sweet treats! We even got a visit from a group of holly jolly gingerbread men.

Seriously, this is making us hungry.

The Disney princesses are here as well, dressed to the nines in their wintery best. Do you spot your favorite princess?

And as any Christmas parade does, this one ends with a visit from some North Pole natives. We’ve got elves with presents…

…eight dancing, prancing reindeer…
