BREAKING NEWS: Balloon Float Deflated at Festival of Fantasy Parade Today
During the 3:00 pm Festival of Fantasy Parade at Magic Kingdom today, a little bit of a mishap occurred. It wasn’t away we go….at least not for the hot air balloon float at the end of the parade that features Mickey Mouse.
For some reason, the float began to deflate mid-parade. Check out this tweet from our friend Nick at MagicalNewsLIVE!:

Though at first the balloon just had a bit of a lean, it wasn’t long before one side of the balloon started completely sagging.
Though things can occasionally go wrong during the parades, and characters can sometimes take a topple, this was the first time that we’ve seen a float impacted in this way!
We kept worrying about Mickey but thankfully he made it until the end of the parade.
We suspect that the hot air balloon float will now be getting a bit of TLC behind the scenes.
We’ll let you know if the float makes an appearance tomorrow! Readers are encouraged to keep following along with MickeyBlog for further Walt Disney World news and updates!
