Mickey and Minnie’s Birthday Cavalcade
To commemorate Mickey and Minnie’s big birthday, Disneyland Park held a special cavalcade!
Naturally, the parade started with a giant birthday cake!
Obviously, Mickey’s friends showed up for the festivities. Plenty of guests also lined the parade route, which went from “it’s a small world” to Town Square.
It was great to see Chip ‘n Dale partying with the Dapper Dans.
The Disneyland band was also on hand for the festivities.
Here is another look at the parade in action.

As you can see, Donald, Goofy, and Pluto joined Mickey and Minnie in the Celebrate Happy float!
Duffy also drove by in the Main Street Horseless Carriage. As always, he looked adorable!
Finally, the omnibus brought up the rear, carrying numerous characters, including Pocahontas, Rapunzel, Aladdin, Genie, Alice, and Miguel.
The Mad Hatter, Merida, and Moana were also in attendance. It was great to see so many characters on parade!
