There's few things quite as annoying as when parades debut or go away at Disneyland, and the sidewalks are crammed full of CM's from the entertainment department who do nothing but scream WHOOOOOO! WHOOHOOOO! loudly at the top of their lungs as their friends prance by. I'm glad they got that out of their system with a CM preview.
I'm watching the live stream right now as the first float goes past Small World, and the sidewalks seem to be full of average tourists and there is no WOOOHOOOing. That's a good thing.

It looks cool but kinda generic and lacking any kind of "wow" factor.
Shout out to the random Sword in the Stone float though.

Well, that was.... a parade at Disneyland.
For all the hype that this was going to be some sort of mind blowing new experience, it didn't really deliver.
But it is a new parade. At Disneyland. With floats and beloved characters. And some street dancers in wacky outfits waving flags and doing low impact choreography. But nothing radically new or unique. No stunts. No special effects. The same music over and over, and the music isn't very catchy. Maybe it would look better at night?
It's a new parade at Disneyland. Basic, nice, but nothing earth shattering or WOOHOOO! worthy.

I do think that was a highlight. It's nice to see some new material being put into parades!

Are we saying that Freddy's True-Life Adventures twitter is wrong?

Magic Happens is genuinely the best daytime parade Disneyland has ever seen. Merlin stole the show with his dance moves. Magic did indeed happen!
It needs something like the dragon in festival of fantasy or Peter and Wendy flying in Dreaming Up

The floats are all stunning, music is fun, and a good mix of properties. Honestly I'm pleased.
Same here! Everything just worked so well together!

Love when you can tell someone was never a dancer and tries calling something "low impact"

The choreography was really good (coming from a dancer)

The only part of the parade I felt lacking was the ending music, the ending is supposed to be the big climax of a parade but the music was very slow and peaceful.. I wish the opening tune was the ending as well

Something about the adult size Miguel is intensely disturbing.

Yes, the enthusiasm was fun as a private CM event. I enjoyed the parade for itself much more just now with average guests. The music is fine. But it’s a beautiful parade.
