Today, Disney Cruise Line shared a first look at the all new, “Magic Meets the Seas,” parade float setting sail on Thanksgiving Day along the streets of New York City during the 98th Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on Thursday, November 28th. The float will celebrate the continued expansion of the Disney Cruise Line fleet, while delighting parade viewers with a specially choreographed performance starring beloved Disney characters.
The new flat year’s float design features the bows of eight Disney Cruise Line ships, with the focal point being the highly anticipated Disney Treasure which will sail on its Maiden Voyage in December!
“Disney Cruise Line is excited to continue our partnership with the team at Macy’s to sprinkle some extra pixie dust this holiday season with our brand-new float design” said Denise Case, Director of Entertainment Creative for Disney Live Entertainment. “The magic of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade provides the perfect opportunity for us to collaborate and bring our special Disney magic to life through our one-of-a-kind entertainment that will fill the streets of New York City with enchantment!”
During the Parade, the magical float will bring beloved Disney Animation, Pixar, and Marvel characters to the streets of New York City. Captain Mickey Mouse and Captain Minnie Mouse will lead the way atop the float and will be joined by Disney pals representing the experiences and spaces onboard the Disney Treasure, including Pixar Animation Studios’ “Coco” and Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “Moana” and “Beauty and the Beast.” Songs from these beloved stories will accompany the magical float, culminating in a confetti-filled finale set to the Disney Treasure’s anthem, “Live the Adventure,” for Parade viewers both in-person and at home to enjoy.
“We’re delighted to have Disney Cruise Line returning for its fourth appearance in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade with the enchanting ‘Magic Meets the Seas’ float!
