There was a parade of characters and signs that signified the different celebrations over the years (the Tencennial, 15 Years, 25th, etc.). Each one had corresponding music – I was happy to hear Remember the Magic played! That song never gets old. I didn't have much of a view of the parade, but the characters did make it to the stage.

There had been speculation that unique characters and/or older costumes would be part of the parade. That wasn't the case. 

 

 

 

Mickey, Minnie, Daisy, Donald, and so many other characters took to the stage, and you can see closeups of the different signs – one that I hadn't mentioned was Mickey Mania. That was a fun parade!
