Flights of Fantasy Parade (Disneyland)

The Flights of Fantasy Parade was a daytime/nighttime parade that ran at Disneyland Park during the park's 1983 season to commemorate the opening of the newly-renovated Fantasyland and The Walt Disney Company's 60th anniversary. The parade featured scenes from Disney's most fantastic animated films.
Due to it also being a nighttime parade, it replaced the Main Street Electrical Parade for that season.
==Parade Units==
*Opening: The famous Disney characters, including Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, and Pluto, float down the street in hot air balloons.
*Winnie the Pooh: This unit comprises Winnie the Pooh and his friends, including Tigger, Owl, Rabbit, Eeyore, Kanga, and Roo. Behind the characters is a large honey tree where Piglet is fishing in a nearby pond, followed by a parade of giant heffalumps and woozles.

*Pinocchio: You'll see Pinocchio perform in a puppet show, with Jiminy Cricket, Honest John and Gideon watching. You'll even encounter Stromboli and take a trip to Pleasure Island.
*Fantasia: After an encounter with giant magic brooms and Yen Sid, we go to the famous "Dance of the Hours" scene, where dancing hippos, alligators and ostriches cavort around the guests.
*Sleeping Beauty: While a bunch of goons threaten the spectators, Maleficent stands high on a tower with a towering 30-foot dragon at her command.
*Alice in Wonderland: We see Alice, the Mad Hatter, and the March Hare throwing an unbirthday party, while a horde of cards heralds the arrival of the Queen of Hearts.

==Replacement==
Most of the floats were used for Fantasy on Parade. The Sorcerer's Apprentice float was converted to a Dance of the Hours float but was put back to the usual way in 1985. The Caterpillar float was relocated to Walt Disney World but with the inflatable Caterpillar removed and Alice sitting on top of it for the 1984 Fantasy on Parade. The Babes in Toyland floats were seen during the 1983 Fantasy on Parade.
