At each stop, guests join a conga line led by a dancing starfish and South American samba dancers. Lumiere leads the way riding inside a rotating giant punch bowl. On a separate float, Belle and the Beast appear on a stone bridge in the royal garden. Scimitar warriors led by the dancing Magic Carpet and a pair of harem camels surround the float. Rafiki stands toward the back waving his mystical walking stick while Zazu flies overhead.
Dancers marching beside the float include gazelles, zebras and elephants.
Snow White and Dopey, Mary Poppins, Winnie the Pooh and Tigger, Pocahontas and Meeko and surprise performers from recent Disney films will be in the garden setting. Grandmother Willow smiles and winks from the center of the float. Snow White s wishing well and fountain send water leaping into the air. A magic castle rises up to 30 feet above the float, which sends daytime fireworks skyward for the finale. In all, hundreds of Magic Kingdom guests are invited each day to dance and play with the characters during their performance stops.
