Disney Cruise Line Float Returns!

The Disney Cruise Line float will return! This is the first float to be longer than the float bed, the bow of the ship sticks out 8 feet!

On Macy’s website they describe the float:

“Captain Minnie Mouse & friends will be onboard Disney Cruise Line’s float for an all-new adventure, as it makes its third trip to the Big Apple. Modeled after their newest ship, the Disney Treasure, the float captures Disney’s elegant classic ocean liner design, complete with Mickey Mouse signature colors, classic filigree trim & the iconic red smokestacks.”

Disney Balloons

Some of our favorite balloons are back! Grogu (aka Baby Yoda) is back! He is from the Star Wars series The Mandalorian and inspired by the Funko Pop collection. Grogu is 41 feet tall, 29 feet long, and 37 feet wide!

Grogu and Bluey will return to the 2023 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City!

My family is very excited to see the return of Bluey, the Australian pup. She is 52 feet tall, 51 feet long, and 37 feet wide!
