Pixar Pals Countdown to Fun #100DaysOfDisney

Pixar Pals Countdown to Fun was the parade at Disney Hollywood Studios. We saw it for the first and only time in 2011 – on our first trip to Walt Disney World, and our first day at a Disney theme park. It holds a special place in my memory because it was seeing that parade that I knew I had my son (12 at the time) hooked on a Disney holiday! As soon as it was over, I remember him saying “aw, I wish that had been longer!” It wasn’t a short parade, but it alleviated my fears that 12 was not too old for a child to be going to Disney World!
Hollywood Studios now doesn’t have a parade at all, which is such a shame…especially as there is no parade at Epcot, and the one at Animal Kingdom (Mickey’s Jammin’ Jungle parade) is finished too (making way for something else in the future). There is still a [new] parade at Magic Kingdom – Flights of Fantasy, which we’ll be able to watch for the first time this summer!
There’s something really magical about watching a Disney parade, and I hope that the Imagineers bring them to all the parks again very soon!
You can probably guess by the name that this parade features the characters from Pixar movies, and the best way to showcase the parade is from my photos of it! So here we go…
The Incredibles
A Bug’s Life
Ratatouille
Monsters Inc.
Up
Toy Story
…and I even have a little video too – such fab memories! I high-five Bullseye at about 7 mins in!
I hope that you enjoyed looking at Pixar Pals Countdown to Fun Parade! I loved reliving the memories!
Day 18 of #100DaysOfDisney is done – 82 to go!

I’ve only ever been to Disney once and it was to the Tokyo one – sadly pre digital camera. I did have an awesome time and we DID get to see a parade. I will have to ask the husband for the footage of me blubbing at being there x

I have to admit – I started watching the video about 4 minutes before I had to leave to pick the other half up from work and didn’t leave till I had seen it all I want to go to Disney! x

Aww I loved this parade! It’s such a shame that they’ve stopped it now. I would love for them to bring the parades back to both DHS and AK as they were all fab! Great pics Hun xx

It is such a shame they stopped it – I was so gutted last year when we went and I realised it wasn’t there any more! I’m so glad we saw the AK one too in ’13 as we missed it in ’11 cos of the rain >_< xx

What a great idea for a series of posts. We have only been to Paris and this carnival looks so big and bright.

We loved the parade in Paris when we were there in 2010 – Disney know how to do a parade!
