See the new higher resolution version of this video: • 2004 Parade of Stars (... For the 45th Anniversary of Disneyland they created this Parade - Parade of the Stars. It went through several changes during it's 5 year run.
I saw this parade in 2002(?) I believe it was. I was six and I was much too shy to be a guest performer even though my parents always wanted to. I'm so happy that I found this video, it's bringing back such wonderful memories. I remember Cinderella blew little six year old me a kiss and my mom was in tears. Ever since that exact magical moment, it's been my dream to work for Disneyland as a "friend of a princess" ;). Anyway. I'm rambling. This video made me happy. x
This brings back some of the fun times I had while working at Disneyland and I worked the parade as guest comtrol and at Small World during the parade. While I tuned it out as a cast member, it's a piece of nostalgia since I had a chance to dance as a Guest Performer. Thanks for posting this!
Roger Rabbit was my favorite character of all time when I was younger and this parade was being performed and I remember one day my family and I got approached and asked if we wanted to be in the parade.. We said yes and I ended up dancing with Roger! Just so happened I was in the right place at the right time. The memory still makes me cry! Disney made my dream of meeting my favorite character come true! -3
That seems like a really, really Awesome memory! :) I wish Disney would bring Roger Rabbit back to their Theme Parks (for Meet-and-Greets, and Parade appearances)!
Roger ribbit was my favorite character all time when I was a kid moment make me cry dinesy made dream come true alawys meeting my favorite character come true
AWESOME job with the video! I was lucky enough to be in this parade twice! (I danced with the Hippos from Fantasia... In a tutu!) They usually only let people do it once a year but our camcorder wasn't working right. I've wanted to work at Disney ever since I was a kid and that is probably the closest I will ever get to actually working there. Thanks for sharing the video RU! Brings back some GREAT memories!
I love Disney so much! I don't know why but I always get emotional with parades and fantasmic and all that. I always feel happy there; no wonder they call it "the happiest place on earth" Thanks for the video :)
me, my step-sister, step-mom and cousin got to be in this. we danced with ballou and king louie. at the end we recieved special pins - they had the blue fairy on it and on the back it said "guest performer"
I missed the Parade of the Stars at Disneyland, my favorite old parade, during the 5-year-run for the 45th anniversary in 2000 to 2005. I didn't join them in the parade while wearing a tutu or a star cape. My watch was broken, my guitar strings broke, my costume had winkles, and I didn't get any messages on my beeper! I wish I could join them in the parade and dance with Flik, Max Goof, Tigger, Mushu, Timon or even Robin Hood. I love to join them in the Parade of the Stars. Jimmy Kielbasa out.
@@ru42 You're welcome. I really love the Parade of the Stars. Well, I guess I didn't join the Parade of the Stars back in five years during the forty-fifth anniversary at the Disneyland Resort back in Anaheim, California from 2000 to 2005.
Wow! Such beautiful floats and costumes! And I love the music arrangement of the Disney songs. What in the world was following the dwarfs near the beginning??
The 20 Characters who were of my highest priority at that time. Aurora > Snow White > Mickey > Minnie > Goofy > Pluto > Donald > Daisy > Chip > Dale > Cinderella > Jasmine > Mary Poppins > Alice > Winnie The Pooh > Tigger > Belle > Ariel > Dopey > Wendy
It looks like a cool parade but I usually use parades to go on the rides with long lines. I find them knid of annoying but nice at the same time. I've never actually watched one until now. Hehehe. Nice job.
they "recycle" some of them to use again, by changing the layout and stuff of on the float. and the ones they don't need they either break them apart or save them in the warehouse, ps you may see some of the parade of dreams floats in the xmas parade
those are the people selected throughout the park. micheal isegner (disney ceo) decided that it would be nice to have actual disneyland visitors to be in the parade.
@@CoffinDoll I just wish that Disney would bring the Characters from their Theme Park in Paris (including Roger Rabbit, Jessica Rabbit, and Eddie Valiant) to their Theme Parks in the USA!
@@SeanTheDisneyGuy Disneyland California and Disneyland Paris you have a 50-85 % chance of seeing Roger Rabbit especially now for the 100 year celebration
@monkeybev I... I wanna scream. How can someone NOT know about the second animated classic Disney created in 1942?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! D=< Do you live in Texas? If you do, come over and WATCH IT WITH ME. I'm a total Disney addict- I can't STAND people not knowing ANY one of their movies!
Anybody know what happens to the floats as Disney changes out the parades? Do they scrap them for parts or keep them underground or what? I only ask because I was shocked to see the itty bitty "Celebrate" parade floats taking the place of the immaculate floats in the previous parade. But DCA's floats only seem to get bigger and better with each parade. Hrmm...
