What Is Disneyland Paris's New Daytime Parade?
Disneyland Park is the original of the two parks that make up Disneyland Paris, is getting its first new headline daytime parade since 2017. That's when Disney Stars on Parade launched to mark the 25th anniversary of Disneyland Paris, and it's been the park's main daytime parade ever since. The new parade will run daily and take over as the anchor of Disneyland Park's daytime entertainment. Disney hasn't given the new parade a name yet.

Mickey Mouse leads the parade, with floats built around characters from across Walt Disney Animation Studios and Pixar. Confirmed so far are Genie and Jasmine from Aladdin, Tiana from The Princess and the Frog, Rapunzel from Tangled, and Miguel from Coco. Disney has described the floats as elegant and state of the art.
What Has Disneyland Paris Said About The New Parade?
"Parades are part of the DNA of a Disney Park, and this one raises the bar. From the float designs and costumes to the music, every element has been carefully crafted with passion and a lot of heart. What excites me most is how creativity speaks across generations. We're confident it will be a magical celebration that will captivate guests of all ages."
- Dana Harrel, Vice President Entertainment at Disneyland Paris
How Much Work Has Gone Into The New Parade?
Disney says the parade has required more than 10,000 hours of research and technical development so far. The costume side alone has involved nearly 225 sketches covering costumes, wigs and makeup for the characters appearing.
What Does This Mean For UK Visitors Planning A 2028 Trip?
2028 is a way off yet, so there's no need to rearrange any existing plans. But if you're the type who books early to spread the cost, or you're already eyeing up a bigger trip for that year, here's what's worth keeping in mind.
- Disney Stars on Parade will likely run for at least another year or two before any changeover, so you won't miss out by visiting before 2028.
- Disney Adventure World already has its own new daytime parade, the Disney Princess Cavalcade, which debuted in July 2026, so both parks will have refreshed entertainment by the time this one arrives.
- Package prices for Disneyland Paris tend to move quickly when new shows debut due to the Disneyland Paris Dynamic pricing system.
