Candidate passages:
The Share A Dream Come True Parade which ran from 2001 until 2006 was changed to the Disney Dreams Come True Parade in 2006 and ended on January 22, 2009.
The Share A Dream Come True Parade had the Disney style floats with original music and characters but incorporated snow globes which held many of the characters.
The Disney Dreams Come True Parade was similar to the previous parade, though many of the floats were changed, and the snow globes were removed.
This parade also had new soundtrack which was previously been used for Disney's Dreams on Parade... Moving On at Tokyo Disneyland.
The Celebrate A Dream Come True Parade replaced the Disney Dreams Come True Parade on January 23, 2009.
The parade incorporated the new What Will You Celebrate?
theme that both the Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland were using.
The Share A Dream Come True Parade music can be found on the "" CD. 
Share a Dream Come True was a parade that was performed daily in Walt Disney World Resort's Magic Kingdom as a part of the 100 Years of Magic Celebration.
The parade featured unique snow globe style floats.
More than 110 cast members put on the parade daily at 3 p.m. when the parade would travel from Frontierland to Main Street, U.S.A..
Originally, the parade consisted of 10 floats, but in 2004, The Castle Staircase / Kingdom of Dreams float from various previous Magic Kingdom parades was added, bringing the total to 12.
In 2006, the parade was replaced with the Disney Dreams Come True Parade, which utilized the same floats as Share A Dream Come True but with the snow globes removed (among other small changes).
The majority of the floats were then re-themed and reused in the Celebrate a Dream Come True Parade which ran until 2014. 
As with Disney-themed parks, a parade and a fireworks show are the centerpieces of the event.
The holiday-themed parade, entitled "Mickey's Boo To You Halloween Parade," features a pre-parade ride by the Headless Horseman from "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow".
The parade, which runs in place of SpectroMagic, or The Main Street Electrical Parade, features various Disney characters (Mickey and Minnie, Donald and Daisy, Winnie the Pooh, Tigger and their friends) in Halloween costumes and a live-action version of the three hitchhiking ghosts from the Haunted Mansion attraction.
The villains are also in the parade with a unit of their own.
Besides the Haunted Mansion dancers, Hitchhiking Ghosts, the hoedown dancers, and the barn unit, the parade and soundtrack were changed in 2005. 
In the 1920s, many of Macy's department store employees were first-generation immigrants.
Proud of their new American heritage, they wanted to celebrate the United States parade of Thanksgiving with the type of festival their parents had loved in Europe.
In 1924, the annual Thanksgiving parade started by Louis Bamberger in Newark, New Jersey at the Bamberger's store was transferred to New York by Macy's.
In New York, the employees marched to Macy's flagship store on 34th Street dressed in vibrant costumes.
There were floats, professional bands and live animals borrowed from the Central Park Zoo.
At the end of that first parade, as has been the case with every parade since, Santa Claus was welcomed into Herald Square.
At this first parade, however, the Jolly Old Elf was enthroned on the Macy's balcony at the 34th Street store entrance, where he was then "crowned" "King of the Kiddies."
With an audience of over a quarter of a million people, the parade was such a success that Macy's declared it would become an annual event.
Anthony "Tony" Frederick Sarg loved to work with marionettes from an early age.
After moving to London to start his own marionette business, Sarg moved to New York City to perform with his puppets on the street.
Macy's heard about Sarg's talents and asked him to design a window display of a parade for the store.
Sarg's large animal-shaped balloons, produced by the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company in Akron, Ohio, replaced the live animals in 1927 when the Felix the Cat balloon made its debut.
Felix was filled with air, but by the next year, helium was used to fill the expanding cast of balloons.
At the finale of the 1928 parade, the balloons were released into the sky where they unexpectedly burst.
The following year they were redesigned with safety valves to allow them to float for a few days.
Address labels were sewn into them, so that whoever found and mailed back the discarded balloon received a gift from Macy's.
Through the 1930s, the Parade continued to grow, with crowds of over 1 million lining the parade route in 1933.
The first Mickey Mouse balloon entered the parade in 1934.
The annual festivities were broadcast on local New York radio from 1932 through 1941, and resumed in 1945 through 1951.
The parade was suspended 1942–1944 during World War II, owing to the need for rubber and helium in the war effort.
The parade resumed in 1945 using the route that it followed until 2008.
The parade became known nationwide after being prominently featured in the 1947 film, "Miracle on 34th Street", which included footage of the 1946 festivities.
The event was first broadcast on network television in 1948 (see below).
By this point the event, and Macy's sponsorship of it, were sufficiently well-known to give rise to the colloquialism "Macy's Day Parade".
Since 1984, the balloons have been made by Raven Aerostar (a division of Raven Industries of Sioux Falls, SD).
Macy's also sponsors the smaller Celebrate the Season Parade in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, held two days after the main event.
Other cities in the US also have parades on Thanksgiving, but they are not run by Macy's.
The nation's oldest Thanksgiving parade (the Gimbels parade, which has had many sponsors over the years is now known as 6abc Dunkin' Donuts Thanksgiving Day Parade) was first held in Philadelphia in 1920.
Other cities include the McDonald's Thanksgiving Parade of Chicago, Illinois and parades in Plymouth, Massachusetts; Seattle, Washington; Houston, Texas; Detroit, Michigan; and Fountain Hills, Arizona.
A parade is also held at the two U.S. Disney theme parks.
There is even a 2nd Thanksgiving balloon parade within the New York metropolitan area, the UBS balloon parade in Stamford, CT, 30 miles away.
This parade is held the Sunday before Thanksgiving to not compete with the New York parade and usually does not duplicate any balloon characters.
The classic "Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade" logo (seen below) was, with one exception, last used in 2005.
For 2006 a special variant of the logo was used.
Every year since a new logo has been used for each parade.
The logos however are seen rarely, if at all, on television as NBC has used its own logo with the word "Macy's" in script and "Thanksgiving Day Parade" in a bold font.
The logos are assumed to be for Macy's use only, such as on the Grandstand tickets and the ID badges worn by parade staff.
The Jackets worn by parade staff still bear the original classic parade logo, this being the only place where that logo can be found.
New safety measures were incorporated in 2006 to prevent accidents and balloon related injuries.
One measure taken was installation of wind measurement devices to alert parade organizers to any unsafe conditions that could cause the balloons to behave erratically.
Also, parade officials implemented a measure to keep the balloons closer to the ground during windy conditions.
If wind speeds are forecast to be higher than 34 miles per hour, all balloons are removed from the parade.
In 2007, the journal "Puppetry International" published a first person account of being a balloon handler. 
Since 1924, in New York City, the "Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade" is held annually every Thanksgiving Day from the Upper West Side of Manhattan to Macy's flagship store in Herald Square, and televised nationally by NBC.
The parade features parade floats with specific themes, scenes from Broadway plays, large balloons of cartoon characters, TV personalities, and high school marching bands.
The float that traditionally ends the Macy's Parade is the Santa Claus float, the arrival of which is an unofficial sign of the beginning of the Christmas season.
Also founded in 1924, "America's Thanksgiving Parade" in Detroit is one of the largest parades in the country.
The parade runs from Midtown to Downtown Detroit and precedes the annual Detroit Lions Thanksgiving football game.
The parade includes large balloons, marching bands, and various celebrity guests much like the Macy's parade and is nationally televised on various affiliate stations.
The Mayor of Detroit closes the parade by giving Santa Claus a key to the city.
There are Thanksgiving parades in many other cities, including: "6abc Dunkin' Donuts Thanksgiving Day Parade" (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) "Ameren Missouri Thanksgiving Day Parade" (St. Louis, Missouri) "America's Hometown Thanksgiving Parade" (Plymouth, Massachusetts) "Belk Carolinas' Carrousel Parade" (Charlotte, North Carolina) "FirstLight Federal Credit Union Sun Bowl Parade" (El Paso, Texas) "H-E-B Holiday Parade" (Houston, Texas) "McDonald's Thanksgiving Parade" (Chicago, Illinois) "My Macy's Holiday Parade" (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) "Parada de los Cerros Thanksgiving Day Parade" (Fountain Hills, Arizona) "UBS Parade Spectacular" (Stamford, Connecticut) – held the Sunday before Thanksgiving so it doesn't directly compete with the Macy's parade away.
Most of these parades are televised on a local station, and some have small, usually regional, syndication networks; most also carry the parades via Internet television on the TV stations' websites.
Several other parades have a loose association with Thanksgiving, thanks to CBS's now-discontinued "All-American Thanksgiving Day Parade" coverage.
Parades that were covered during this era were the "Aloha Floral Parade" held in Honolulu, Hawaii every September, the "Toronto Santa Claus Parade" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and the "Opryland Aqua Parade" (held from 1996 to 2001 by the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center in Nashville); the Opryland parade was discontinued and replaced by a taped parade in Miami Beach, Florida in 2002.
A Disneyland parade was also featured on CBS until Disney purchased rival ABC.
For many years the "Santa Claus Lane Parade" (now "Hollywood Christmas Parade") in Los Angeles was held on the Wednesday evening before Thanksgiving.
In 1978 this was switched to the Sunday following the holiday.
