The Realist’s Take
So, ‘Magic Happens’ Parade at Disneyland finally spilled the beans! Despite today’s pop culture influence, the parade’s floats, chiming with the good ol’ nostalgia are anything but ‘Invisible’ (See what I did there? Of course, you do! You’re a Disney kid!). The tale of Moana is finally getting a legit float game at Disney Park, which means we’ll be ‘crushing’ it with Nemo and Dory. While Coco fans are strumming their guitars ecstatically, ‘Frozen 2’ fanatics are slipping into ‘Into The Unknown’ mode with a monstrous 39 feet long float. Quick question, do they play ‘Let It Go’ on repeat? We’re silently judging! What’s with the musical score by Todrick Call? Maybe, just maybe, Disney is ‘Straight Outta Oz’, pun intended! Bravo Disney! You’ve got us all under your magical spell, yet again!
