Recently, Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade released the lineup balloons, floats, entertainers and more taking part in the 99th Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on Thursday, November 27th. Disney Cruise Line will return to the streets of New York City with the “Magic Meets the Seas,” parade float which debuted last year.
The Magic Meets the Seas float showcases all 8 Disney Cruise Line ships and their signature bow art. In celebration of the newest ship Disney Destiny launching this November, its special bow design will take center stage during this year’s performance.

Disney will be featuring an all new Buzz Lightyear balloon during the parade. Pixar’s space ranger will be going to Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and beyond! Everyone’s favorite Space Ranger is soaring back into New York City to celebrate 30 years of Toy Story magic. With unwavering confidence, blaster at the ready and pop-out wings deployed, Buzz Lightyear is prepared to defend the galaxy and his toy family. From head to “ANDY” adorned boot, the Buzz balloon is nearly as long as 4 Pizza Planet delivery trucks.

There is one other new float that caught my eye: The Land of Ice and Wonder. This is actually a float by Holland America Cruise Line featuring the largest kinetic sculpture in parade history. What I love about this float is that it is promoting Alaska as one of the line’s destinations.

Journey to Alaska, where you can witness natural wonders and wildlife! Marvel at frozen glaciers and lush scenery as humpback whales, seals and king salmon swim alongside Holland America Line’s iconic blue hull. Gaze in wonder at the larger-than-life moose, grizzly bear and gray wolf standing proudly over the Alaska landscape as an American bald eagle perches nearby.
