We may not have gotten to see Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration because of the rain, but we did get to see both the regular version of Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade and the Rainy Day Christmas Cavalcade alternate.
Rainy Day Christmas Cavalcade
Since weather conditions worsened as Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party went on, Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade was unable to run for its second showing of the night. When this happens, we get the alternate cavalcade. This ensures the Cast Members’ and characters’ safety during inclement weather.
The cavalcade starts off with two Cast Members, wearing green and red rain gear, and holding a banner reading “Rainy Day Christmas Cavalcade: A Sparkling Splash of Fun.”
The first car drove Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, and Pluto. The characters are wearing their holiday costumes.
Banners hanging on the car doors are green with jingle bells topped with red bows.
The yellow jitney follows, hauling Clarabelle, Vanellope, Chip, and Dale.
Chip and Dale are wearing Christmas bakers costumes, including adorable chef’s hats.
Next, the red jitney is carrying Donald, Daisy, and Santa Claus. He’s definitely keeping us on his nice list this year!
There is a large break between the red jitney and the Princesses’ gazebo float. This is where the toy soldiers would be marching, but the rain picked up, and conditions quickly became too dangerous for them to continue.
The Princesses bring up the end of the Rainy Day Christmas Cavalcade.
We wave to Snow White, Cinderella, Jasmine, Belle, Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel, Ariel, and Tiana.
Watch our video of the Rainy Day Christmas Cavalcade below.
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is a separately ticketed event taking place on select nights from November 8 through December 22.
