Mickey's Costume Party Cavalcade at Disneyland's Mickey's Halloween Party


We're continuing our frolic around Mickey's Halloween Party at Disneyland Park today with more pictures! So far people seem to be really enjoying roaming the streets of Disneyland with us during our trip out last week, so we're going to keep going through all of the different highlights of the Party with a look today at a very special parade held just for this event!

Much like "Halloween Screams", which we highlighted yesterday, Disneyland also puts on a very special parade just for Mickey's Halloween Party called "Mickey's Costume Party Cavalcade".  When we first bought tickets for The Party, we didn't know that a special parade was included, but when we saw it on the schedule for the list of events, we just knew we had to check it out!

We did enjoy the parade, quite a bit in fact, but it was extremely short and nowhere near elaborate as the parades which we typically see at The Resort.  It's not a bad thing, and we're not complaining about it, just simply stating fact.  It was probably about five minutes long (we weren't really counting) and it was there and gone in a flash!  Chad sort of looked at Mark with a "Is that it?" look on his face when it was done.  However, it was still well-worth seeing and a cool part of our evening.  The parade went off twice during The Party, once in the early evening and once later in the evening, and we were fortunate to pick the second show to see which allowed us to watch it from quite near The Hub on Main Street USA.  We did very much enjoy seeing the characters and costumes in this one, and we do have some pictures from the parade to share with our readers today.  Truthfully?  The show was over before we knew it, or we would have taken a lot more!  But, tis what it tis and we hope you enjoy what we have!

If you're ever at Mickey's Halloween Party, make sure you check out "Mickey's Costume Party Cavalcade".  It's a great way to slow the evening down a bit, hear some great music, and see a lot Disney characters to boot.  Definitely comes recommended!

In keeping with the costume theme...

WDW has a much longer parade than DL, but hopefully if the party is popular in years to come Disney will justify the expense and give us a bigger parade! And no matter how long or short it may be, nobody does parades better than Disney! :)

Were you at the Disney trick or treat party Oct 25th 2011 as I see the date on your post. I was in the parade in the Honorary costume party guest car but had no one in the audience to capture the moment. If you were there that evening did you get photos of the car that you can post or send me? thank you much

Unfortunately, we were at the party on the 21st, so I don't have pictures from that evening you were there. So sorry about that! Would have loved to been able to help you :)

Disney parades are just the best! I would love to take my kids there someday during the season's party and I will make sure they have their own halloween costumes to make it more magical for them.
