Magic Happens Parade Returns to Disneyland 

fun fact: *OVER* 50% of the cast in tne parade in 2023 were in it in 2020.

The number of times I listened to this parade soundtrack since it premiered… I have GOT to get back out to California to see it in person, I’m OBSESSED!

I think this one of the best parades Disney has ever put out! Beautiful!

I love this parade. Watched hundreds of times on various videos especially during the lock down. Magic Happens is my happy place. Delighted to see the parade return but noticed number of dancers have been pared down. And totally missed the Tiana float. Looking forward to seeing the parade in person. Thank you for the inaugural performance.

This Is The Anthem, Here's What You've Came for...This is the Moment magic Was Made For! 😍😍😍😍 Magic Happens Is Back!!!!

I wonder if they should add an Encanto sequence to this parade…. 🤔

My daughter fell in love with this parade and Moana back when she was 2 yo in 2019. We’ve been watching this parade ever since! I’m so happy this came back and I get to take her to see it in real life!! She’s so excited!!

This parade and the music is incredibly uplifting! Enjoyed every moment and will watch it before work everyday. Thanks for posting!

My favorite daytime parade🥺

I hope they film it at night too caus the floats look so great at night !

Can’t wait to see this soon! I loved the Coco, Moana, & Frozen floats!! I remember seeing this 3 years back during nighttime!!

It looks like the return of this parade is the entire cast and floats unlike Festival of Fantasy Parade, Festival of the Lion King and Beauty and the Beast on stage at wdw which still haven't returned to their full cast, floats and shows. As always Disneyland is rocking it 💜💙💚

GOOD TO SEE THE PARADE BACK!

I have been watching this parade on RU-vid since it’s premiere every few months. I love the whole feel and the music! But I want to know-Why does Disneyland get the Wishes and Remember the Magic sound bites and we can’t even get a nighttime parade???? We needed it for the 50th and we still need it. Main Street needs a night parade!

I think It’s missing one more full fledged float dedicated to a film. That’s my only complaint. I see the “if you just believe” segment as one big finale.

Them taking the zip a Dee Doo da lyric out just makes me feel like it will take a while to ever bring paint the night back cause that is one of the main songs in the finale unit.

I wonder why Tiana wasn’t there today.

welcome back magic happens at Disneyland park

MAGIC HAPPENS!!!!!!!!!!

Moana drummer losing the head of one his mallets at the start of the parade how hilarious.

Thank you so so much for this!

A Girl I went to school with is in this parade as one of the girls with blue hair in the beginning with the Moana float. I'll have to go see her in this parade at some point. The floats look really pretty, wish it was a little longer though, and there was more going on

Anyone else notice how they removed both the Tiana float as well as Zip a Dee Doo Dah?

They replaced Zip a dee do Dah with You Can Fly

I’m going to watch the parade when I come back in next week with my family!

They removed the zipiddy-doo-dah part in the finale sequence 🥺

OMG, it’s back!!!!! I don’t know if I’m the only one, but i NEED…REALLY NEED this parade in ORLANDO!!! Just imagine: Happily Ever After, Magic Happens, and NO MORE Bob “paycheck”!!! We only need the parade to firmly say “all dreams come true” 😂

LETS GOOOOOO!!!!! HOPEFULLY THEY BRING BACK PAINT THE NIGHT

Favorite Disney Parade. Thanks for posting! Look forward to seeing it when I go later this year. Quality content always✊🏿

Its good to FINALLY Back!!!!!!

12:35 It make sence why "You can Fly" replaced "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah", Peter Pan and Tinkerbell was there and didn't had their song, also Br'er Rabbit wasn't there. I do enjoy it.

Honestly curious (no hate, I swear): How are you able to record these parades and not get hit with copyright warnings from RU-vid when you share them with us? Is it because you are considered media and the rest of us are just wishing? 😌

It came on feb 24 and it rained and it got cancelled 😢

Welcome Back

Thanks for the recording! I think the content of this parade is on point, but I find the floats are nothing that special. Yes, they do the job, and they do look better at night, but they fall a bit flat for me. Performers are great, 10 out of 10, but I'm not a fan of the soundtrack. While lyrically, it provides a great message, musically I find it sluggish for a parade. As a writer/composer, I find it odd that the "Magic Happens" chorus is written in minor chords (which in laymen's terms are sad chords-major chords are happy chords). My last "nit pick" is something I find in most Disneyland parades, and that's the huge amount of "dead space" between parade units. The soundtrack sometimes completely disappears as there's nothing in front of you. Christmas Fantasy, Soundsational, and even the Pixar Play Parade all have the same issues. Can't figure that one out, as I've never seen a parade at WDW with those issues. In conclusion, even with all those negatives from me, it's STILL great to see a parade back at DL, and even better that it appears the parade is filled with recognizable faces from 2020. The vast majority of guests seem to love it, and that's what counts. Just wanted to share why it doesn't quite do it for me.

someone on the live i watched during the premiere said the tiana float was still under construction

12:34 just realized they swapped Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah with a lyric of You Can Fly from Peter Pan.

Welcome Back Magic Happens Parade Happy 3Rd Anniversary February 28 2023

Yessss I smiled so much watching this. Listened to the soundtrack so many times since... Got to get out to CA to see it this year ✨🥺🤗💙💜

The float with Naveen and Tiana was missing

12:34 - the 'zipadee do dah' word in the final 'magic happens' section of the song has been replaced.

Come on guys, she says into the unknown in the goddamn monorail drive by I was like you got me, bro you got me @ 10:33

Was watching the video and saw that the Moana drummer lost a mallet top on his mallet for the drums

I was lucky to be a cm when this was in production and eventually launched for the two weeks it was out. What was awesome was watching them practice this behind the scenes as well as getting to see it before the public (especially at night where the floats were lit up beautifully).

so my question is how long will the parade be back for. is it this year only or will it continue into next year

Bring back zip a dee Doo dah to the soundtrack

I just noticed the Tiana float is missing. Must have been added after

fun fact: over 50% of the cast in the parade in 2023 what is it in 2020 11:09

Has anyone noticed that the Tiana float was not in the parade? I wonder why?

April 14 got my dining pkg reserved

Honestly, despite how cool it is to see a Sword in The Stone float, this parade still feels lacking compared to Soundsational.

Cinderella looking stunning!

I was actually right behind these folk filming... I wish I had known!! It was strangely quiet where we were located... no guest interaction!! But I loved the parade...

Thank you so much for sharing this with us! 😃 I loved the Sword in the Stone float for the simple fact that movie hardly gets any attention so it was nice to see a float devoted to that underrated Disney classic.🙂

Thank you for showing that beautiful opening dance section 😍😍🙌🏾 so excited to see this parade this week

I just realized, I wonder why they removed the Princess and the Frog float from the parade? It was a beautiful float

Soundsational is better IMO

What replaced the Zip a dee doo dah line in the final song? I can’t make it out 16:11

During Cobid listened to this over & over...glad it's back but the gimbal didn't seem to be LOL

Wow! That was really good. Loved the music, the costumes and the floats.

Something else happens.

OMG Tiana and Naveen wasn't in the parade that's sad

This was the best introduction to a parade I seen

i’ve never loved anything more than the heihei float

I need to see this parade. I keep missing it. Thank god they upgraded Frozen for the second movie. I have always dislike Anna’s pigtail braids.

Yessssssssssss🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Thank you for recording this. ❤

How has it been three years?!

4:26 stupid Heihei 😂😂😂👍

No princess and the frog?

💜💜💜

Love that they replaced the Zip A Dee Doo Dah part in the finale music It made zero sense before!

Hooray 😃!

PTN and Soundsational will forever be the best Disneyland parades, nothing comes closer. You can just tell Disney no longer puts any effort in the parades, the dancers and performers just seem lackluster, and the parade floats are not as amazing as they used to be. It's really sad 😔

Can someone tell me why this parade is fully staffed and not Florida’s?
