MK parade during the day?

[chanty]

Last year when we went, we stumbled upon a "party" parade! It had a few cars that were decorated as gifts and they stopped and the characters danced...I'm just not sure what the official name is, but I remember it was mid-morning.

Anyone know what I'm talking about?
Is it still happening in the parks? If so - around what time?

Yes!! We stumbled on this when we were there this June (2011). As far as I know it's still happening. It's a lot of fun!! And it's not well known so you can get a good spot 5 minutes prior (we did). Get a spot on the hub though, as it forms around that for the dancing part. They let people into the street when they stop and the characters come down and dance with you. It's a lot of fun!! As a bonus we collected some great Mickey confetti they shot out and still have it hanging around the house. A smaller parade, but my favorite one by far because it's so interactive. Hopefully someone else knows the name of it!!

If the parade goes the same route every time (same order of characters), I believe Woody & Crew are on the castle side of the hub. We were on the main street side (if you are facing mainstreet with the hub behind you, we were to the left more towards Tomorrowland, but not that far around) and we danced with Mr. Incredible. I don't recall seeing Woody at all, even off to the sides, so they must have stopped all the way around the other side.

Cheers!
