Disney is gearing up for a major event this weekend, and to kick it off, today is D23 Day at Disneyland Resort!
It’s time to celebrate!
D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event starts tomorrow, and with so many Disney fans arriving in Anaheim early to go to the parks, D23 Day is the perfect way to add a little bit of extra fun to a long weekend of excitement. And you know what one of the best parts of D23 Day is? The super rare parade!
The Disney Legends Cavalcade is a mini-parade that ONLY happens on D23 Day in Disneyland Park. During this processional, you get to see Disney characters, the Disneyland Band, and a handful of Disney Legends. So who’s riding in the cavalcade this year? Check out the video below!

Disney Legends who appeared riding on the omnibus included Bob Gurr, Tom Nabbe, Bill Farmer, David Stoller, and Martha Blanding. The cavalcade rounded out with some members of the Walt and Roy Disney families. What a fun surprise!
