Can you believe that we are over half-way through the month of October and Thanksgiving is only a few weeks away? And a Thanksgiving tradition for many folks is to watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. For the last few years, Disney has entered an iconic Disney Cruise Line float in the parade and this year is no different. However, this year, there will be a brand new Disney Cruise Line float in the parade called “Magic Meets the Seas”. In addition, there will also be a new, specially choreographed performance starring many of your favorite Disney and Pixar characters.

Disney Cruise Line Brand New Float

This 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 on December 21, 2024. The float celebrates the growing Disney Cruise Fleet, including the five ships currently sailing and the three set to debut this year and next year – Disney Treasure, Disney Destiny, and Disney Adventure. It also showcases the unprecedented growth of Disney Cruise Line, which recently announced that the fleet will expand to 13 ships by 2031.

Leading the way atop the float will be Captain Mickey Mouse and Captain Minnie Mouse. The famous duo will be joined by a number of special guests who represent the stories and experiences that will be brought to life onboard the Disney Treasure, including Aladdin, Princess Jasmine, Miguel, and Moana.

Known for the Broadway style shows on board its ships, it’s only fitting for Disney Cruise Line to bring a taste of its magical entertainment to the streets of New York. Spectators at the Parade and those tuning in at home will be treated to a toe-tapping number starring Mickey, Minnie and their pals from Pixar Animation Studios’ Coco, Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Beauty and the Beast and more. The melody of memories from favorite Disney films will build to a confetti-filled finale set to the magnetic new Disney Treasure anthem, “Live the Adventure.”
