They're decorating the 2016 Disneyland Rose Parade float by my house! (https://twitter.com/cstephens2/status/682275893104914432) They usually move the floats to Pasadena on New Year's Eve early afternoon, so I'm definitely going to watch for that tomorrow so I can get a good look at the float. They usually have about 3 or 4 floats that they move from that location.

Saw it in the parade today--fantastic--it must have cost a bundle to make it. Wish I could have seen it in person.

They had some free labor...Club 33 Members were invited to help decorate it for a day.

I missed it, how did it compare to the Carsland float? That one was really cool, even on TV. I'll have to watch for a rebroadcast.

I didn't see the Carsland float and I haven't watched the parade yet, so I can't answer that question. Hopefully, someone else can.

I've posted an album of pictures of the three-sectioned Disneyland float, as well as the China Airlines float and the Pac-12 and Big Ten floats, and I've also posted video of them as they started their journey to Pasadena on New Year's Eve. Here's the link. (https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10205982819504342.1073741948.1076023569&type=1&l=b6ec585556) Thanks.

I don't specifically remember the Carsland float, but this year's was amazing--actually 3 floats in one (Frozen, 60th year and Star Wars). It had a lot of live characters. Here's a video of it at the parade.

My favorite part of the float were the children playing mini versions of the characters.

Here's the Disney Parks Blog article about the Cars Land float (http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2013/01/rose-parade-fans-floored-by-destination-cars-land-float/) for those who didn't see it.

I'm a big Rose Parade person (I've been decorating floats for 16 years), and was at the parade yesterday. Tomorrow I'll take and share some detailed pictures at post-parade, but until then, please enjoy these!87788779878087818782
