Prior to the start of their procession, the Lake Mary All-Stars gathered on Main Street, U.S.A., dressed in their full uniforms.
There was a palpable buzz as fans gathered around the team.
Local media was also on hand to talk to the players and report on the parade!
The Parade Begins
The procession began with a large banner proclaiming that Disney World was celebrating the Little League World Series champions.
Next up, Mickey (dressed in his baseball uniform) paraded by with the Lake Mary coaches!
Everyone was all smiles as they made their way down Main Street, U.S.A.
Up next, the players themselves paraded by. They were joined by Donald and Goofy, who were also dressed for the occasion.
Waving to family, friends, and fans alike, the team received a well-earned victory celebration.
The parade started at 1:30 PM ET, just before the Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade.
