This is from Orlando Theme Park News.com. But After some research, they found out that this particular person has also shared this rumor on some other blogs like this one or this one. They are not sure about the credibility of this source.
That's right... it is time for yet more Disney rumors! We have been receiving quite a few anonymous comments sharing with us some interesting information in the past few weeks, and all of them were about some of the future projects that wil take place around the Walt Disney World Resort. All of you will know that we do NOT have insider sources, and that is why we never post rumors ourselves, but if our Readers have some rumors that they want to share with us, we are more than happy to post them to see what others think about them.

This time we have a rumored lineup of just some of the more than 20 floats that may be included in the new daytime parade that will debut at the Magic Kingdom Park in 2014 (again, these are all rumors from one of our Readers. It is just pure speculation for now, especially since things like these may change again and again):

After seeing the concept art for the floats, I'm pretty excited to see how close the actual floats are to the artwork. Could be an amazing parade!

Any guesses on what the music (main theme) will be like? Copy of Flights of Fantasy and Soundsational? Or something totally new?

This part alone makes me skeptical. Far too many obscure characters.

Maximus dancing on the street? That would be adorable. I mean, it happen on Disney On Ice.
