Happy Thanksgiving, DFB friends!
We hope you’re ready for a day filled with fun, friends, family, and our favorite — food, of course! As part of this year’s festivities, we’re keeping our eyes on the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade because not one, but TWO new Disney additions are making their debut. Let’s check them out!
This year’s Disney Cruise Line Thanksgiving Day Parade float is called “Magic Meets the Seas” and its concept art depicts the bows of eight Disney Cruise Line ships. According to Disney, the 2024 float took inspiration from the 2023 version, with the Disney Treasure as the focal point of the float. As you can see, some of Disney’s most iconic characters are on board the float!
We spotted Black Panther and Spider-Man.
Miguel from Coco was also onboard waving to fans.
Captain Mickey was there, too!
And, there’s a brand-new Minnie Mouse balloon in this year’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade as well! For the first time ever, Minnie Mouse will be featured on her very own multi-story balloon. Her balloon features her iconic red a white polka dot look with yellow heels. Perfect for New York City fashion!
Bluey also put in an appearance.
Spider-Man was right at home flying over the streets of New York City.
