A new daytime parade
arriving in 2028
Disneyland Paris is preparing a new major event for Disneyland Park: a brand-new daytime parade, created specifically for the destination, will make its debut in 2028. Mickey and his friends will lead the way alongside several already-confirmed Disney heroes.
Official announcement
The first new daytime parade since 2017
Disneyland Paris has announced an entirely new parade for 2028, designed as one of the pillars of daytime entertainment at Disneyland Park.
The announcement was published by Disneyland Paris on August 16, 2026. This future production will be the first new daytime parade launched at Disneyland Park since 2017. It has been designed specifically for the Parisian destination and is scheduled to run daily.
Disney promises a celebration of timeless Disney magic and the power of dreams, driven by new floats and staging developed for Disneyland Park.
Important: Disneyland Paris has confirmed the year 2028, but no precise launch date has been announced yet. Therefore, any more detailed date remains unconfirmed.
Project figures
A creation prepared down to the smallest detail
More than 10,000 hours of research and technical development have already been dedicated to the project.
Nearly 225 sketches have been created to imagine the costumes, wigs, and makeup.
The new parade is announced as a daily event at Disneyland Park.
These figures provide a first glimpse into the scale of the production. Disneyland Paris is notably highlighting the joint effort dedicated to the floats, costumes, and the overall artistic direction.

Creation
New generation floats created for Paris
Disneyland Paris has announced new elegant, state-of-the-art floats. Their design is part of a vast development effort led by the destination's creative and technical teams.
As the parade is announced as a unique creation for Disneyland Paris, its visual identity must be thought out specifically for Disneyland Park rather than being an adaptation of a parade already presented in another Disney Park.
