A Super RARE Parade Happened at Disneyland Today!

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!
