Before Disney World reopened, they told us parades and character greetings weren’t going to happen right away and would return at a later date. But fret NOT! We gotta say — things are interesting at Magic Kingdom with these new Character Cavalcades they’ve replaced their normal entertainment offerings with instead!
We’ve probably seen just as many Disney characters today with these new experiences than we would on an ordinary day at Magic Kingdom — we might have even seen more! We also saw something else pretty interesting!
Prepare your eyes for all this man stallion we’re about to show you — it’s Gaston…ON A HORSE!!
That’s right — the infamous Beauty and the Beast (self) love interest had mounted a steed and was clip clipping his way down Main Street, U.S.A.! While we’ve seen this during Villains After Hours, we weren’t expecting to see it today.
But hold the phone…Merida from Brave also arrived in My Little Pony style! Angus is that YOU???
We’re taking this as proof you never know WHAT you’ll see at a newly reopened Magic Kingdom! We’ll let you know what other strange and exciting things catch our eye just as soon as we spot ’em!

That is awesome. We are going Thursday and I am so excited to get some Disney love. We have missed it. I am wondering what the actual capacity is for the pass holder event. Thanks for sharing. I have been enjoying seeing everything you posted today.
DFB Sarah says
Cathy, as far as I know, that information has not been released.
Deb says
I got goosies seeing them on horses, so Magical…I hope we see more characters, LIKE CInderall and Prince Charming on a White Horse, NOW that would be Magical….especially for all the little princesses that may be visiting the park 🙂
kJ O’Neill says
Those poor poor horses. Far too hot for them these months.
Bonnie Crandall says
I have one question, probably get some negative feedback, but how come the characters are not wearing mask when riding the horses??? I know they are distance apart, but shouldn’t they still wear a mask??? And I cannot wait to go next year, having Disney with drawls !!!
Essie says
Those draft horses are just beautiful!
