Floats/Sections: 1. Blue Fairy, 2. Wish, 3. Encanto, 4. Frozen, 5. Coco, 6. Moana, 7. Whimsy (Train)

The music for sure has some nods to Spectro (based on the limited parts heard form the teaser)
They're really going full speed ahead on Wish still.

This just shows you how long it takes Disney to do anything. This must have been planned and designed long before they found out how badly it bombed and was received by audiences.

I do have to wonder if that's why it's placed so early in the parade... just to get it over with and they put the "heavy hitters" at the end in hopes that is how it's remembered. I mean, the themes of Wish (and the fact that a wishing star is one of the main characters) fits the theme of the parade well, but yeah... I could see a situation down the road where the Wish float is swapped out for something else...

Not counting the first and last floats, it is telling that the oldest IP in this parade (Frozen) will only be 12 years old when this parade launches and if you count by most recent sequel in a franchise, the oldest (Coco) is only 8 years old, but even that is getting a sequel.

Comparatively, the last parade to launch at Disney World (Festival of Fantasy) launched in 2014 and (again) if you don't count the first and last floats, included Little Mermaid (25 years old at the time), Peter Pan (61 years old at the time), and Sleeping Beauty (55 years old at the time).
