A couple of more images from the 1959 parade. Both show animals in the parade, the first is of Russia with a Cossack walking his trained bear in the park. In the background you can see Mineral Hall and Casa De Fritos restaurant area.
This one is more fun showing the Disney walk around characters from the early days. The white rabbit is very frightening. But who would not want one of those costumes in their collection?
This is one of my favorite floats, Japan with a great Tori gate and bridge on the float. Of course making the little girls pull the float is kind of mean.
For those tired of looking at the parade, here is a nice view of Fantasyland from the steps to the Skyway. You can see some decorations on the trees.

I appreciate the spectacle of today's elaborate parades, but I don't get much joy from them. Generally they are an obstacle to be avoided!
This early Christmas parade looked like it was really charming, almost in a "small town" way in spite of the variety of costumes.
I know the pig is probably supposed to be one of the three little pigs, but to me he looks suspiciously like another pig from the Warner Brothers stable of characters. Perhaps he's a spy. I also think it's interesting that the parade is in Frontierland (not Main Street), and that they actually set out chairs for the guests.
