We all really liked this parade, the timing (17:00) is just right for young children as we were able to watch this and then head to the Disney Village for our early evening meal (booked at 6:15pm).

My daughter (3) loved the floats and seeing all the characters, they even sometimes interact with the crowd and it makes for great photo and video opportunities.

We watched the parade in Main St, the first time we were at the end of the straight but the second time we were in front of the Main St Station and this was a much better position as the floats come very close by.

I have seen this parade many times now. I think it is a great parade, with some of the most beautiful floats! The first time you see it you will be blown away! Each float tells two stories and features characters from 2 Disney films and moves to the great sountrack of “Just like we dreamed it”, again a must do!

If you want a good view of the parade you should stake out your spot early as crowds gather fast and it can be hard to have a good view with people infront. Also Many parents put their young children on their shoulders and this can block your view so if you want a good view of this parade get a space early!

I must say, this is without a doubt the best parade I have ever seen at Disneyland Paris. There’s such a huge variety of characters, and plenty of time for children to watch them, and have them interact with guests. The floats were beautiful to look at, and the costumes were as stunning as ever. In my opinion, however, it is the music that makes this parade so special. Such a brilliant choice for song, and when we got back home we were still singing ‘Just Like We Dreamed It’ months after!

Very good parade. It’s not the most amazing parade i’ve ever seen, (like someone said in a review) but still very good specially for the children. Best place to watch the parade? The main square next to the park entrance because the cars make the turn on the square and you’ll see them for more time. Don’t miss it!

This parade was the most amazing thing I have ever seen in my life! This was what I was most looking forward to on my first ever trip to Disneyland this February.

My first day in the park I arrived 15 minutes before the parade started so I knew there would be nowhere to see it from. I was actually pleased with the view we had as we were raised up more and didn’t have people’s heads in the way! I did notice some of the smells from certain floats which was a lovely touch. On my final day in the park I waited by the side of the road for an HOUR to save my place ready for the parade. Thanks to DLPR Magic website I knew exactly where to stand to see the float stop I wanted to see!! So thanks for that!!

The 2 floats stops I saw were the Toy Story and The final Princess float which was so magical! The streamers that came flying around at the end of the 2 float stops were lovely to keep if you managed to catch one!! I loved the music and was so glad I could buy the single of it in selected shops around the park! I’ve listened to it non-stop since I got home!! Being that close to the characters with the music and the atmosphere was fantastic, just so magical.

My one major issue is how pushy certain people can be making sure their kids are at the front. My advice… Save you spot by sitting down on the edge of the pavement and stand your ground. Don’t let others push you out of the way. If you want a great view, get there earlier, simple as that!

This parade is great, its quite long too. Best way to see all your favourite characters all at once. Just make sure you stand for while to get a good spot to see it.

This is the best parade that Disney ever did i love the show stop. I wish they could make a parade like this at Disneyland in CA.

Oh My Goodness!!!

What a magical parade I sat there with my lollipop and I don’t think I ate any because my jaw was on the ground with happiness. I didn’t really notice the scents but since I have discovered DLRP Magic i have found out so when I go back in october with my school friends I will remember to smell the floats. Me and my family got to the parade about 45 minutes before the start.

I loved they ways disney put all the special effects onto the floats for example: the waterfall on ariels float, the smoke and lights on peter pan and mary poppins float and loads more.

Thank you disney for a magical parade !

Reading the reviews below I’m afraid that I must have been watching a different parade. To me it looks very aged, there’s too much of a gap between the floats (Although I can see that this is possibly for safety reasons), the floats all look like they could do with a lick of paint and worst of all the coordination of music between floats appears to have gone astray.

All in all, out of what was a wonderful Disney experience, this was the biggest disappointment.
