OMG the end where the CMS are crying---all of the feels.

[@justintait7468]

This parade will always have a special place in my heart because a few years ago when my family visited WDW, and when I saw Mary Poppins I yelled out "Mary, I love you" and then she said "I love you too". What was funnier was my sister tried that same trick with Peter Pan and he creeped out a bit. Farewell A Dream Come True Parade.

[@chrishall6617]

I wish take my daughter south Katherine duff two go dinesy world october 30 on her brithday with my daughter mother Hilary duff she be happy just for her

[@3DOGGUSA]

0:43 - 1:45 I just pondered this, that cast member with the ribbons was walking and twirling all the way from Frontierland in heels without a single frown on her face. Now that's dedication!

[@hinton25646]

I am 68 years young and I was crying within 2 minutes of the parade starting. Gonna miss it! Hope I get to go to any of the Disney parks again before my mobility completely siezes up!

[@CutesyBubblez]

i was there watching and crying too. bittersweet and emotional for everyone.

[@MrMrMrprofessor]

Awwww the cast members are crying at the end :( such a nice parade, I'm going to miss it

[@MrJoshinJosh]

They were crying in the end because they all made complete fools of themselves and are very embarrassed as well.

[@MrMrMrprofessor]

lol k troll

[@articakennedy4822]

Rats! Thanks for making me cry!

[@imkyle5460]

disney should have an area/building with all their old floats from parades

[@TjSamson]

Some of the old Floats were recycled for the new Floats and sometimes the floats are imported to some other Disney Parks around the world either there going to use the old float design or going to recycle it. Disney dont waste the floats.

[@lydiafitzgerald1540]

+Goldendino14 OMG THAT IS SUCH A GOOD IDEA!!!!!!!!!

[@barbarag.5723]

Yes exactly!!! amazing idea😀

[@anthonyperez8567]

Goldendino14 Old Float museum is a great idea! It could go anywhere in Main Street. It would take a lot of room though. Some of those floats are over 10 feet tall.

[@imkyle5460]

@ULTRA RED COMBO PANDA Etc. Hella old

[@MichaelSamuel]

Even the cast members cried. My heart oml..

[@vixikie]

I'm from Europe and have sadly never been to any Disney park (not even Disneyland Paris) but this song just makes me cry everytime. If I ever went to a Disney park I would prob cry the whole day being there haha.

[@BradChristianTV]

Its amazing how much the parade changed from when it premiered... I'm glad the original is still on KZbin.

[@JohnOTron]

Awwww tears of joy! I'm gonna miss this parade. I have been to Disney world back in 2008, such good times. At least there's a new parade. :,) :)

[@annampackard]

It was so sweet to see people react to it the way they did....

[@emiliaespinoza5662]

So sad to see this parade go. I got teary eyed watching this. As we await the new parade we will always remember to celebrate the dream inside of us.

[@CornerBallparkWb]

9:05 this float is everywhere! It was in the 25th anniversary parade and is now even used as a cavalcade parade float!

[@FlowerMorgan]

I remember this parade, I didn't know it was being discontinued though... Very sad :(

[@jap3430]

Very happy

[@nicoleb2439]

Damn. Even the cast members where crying because the show was over. We'll miss you. Celebrate A Dream Come True Parade

[@ourmidwestlife]

Change! Out with the old and tired, in with the new! Still awesome to have this recorded to look back!

[@kendallgrizzaffe5983]

I'm crying! I miss this parade so much. This was parade I saw so many times growing up.

[@kimmikruszewski1399]

This was by far the Best Afternoon Parade in the Magic Kingdom. Loved this parade. Going to Miss it. Hoping it comes back down the road.

[@MsKarin28]

Made me cry! This was our first parade and we first watched it first in 2009 and every year after that. I'm sad it won't be there when arrive in 39 days. Thank you so much for uploading this.

[@madaboutmmouse]

I teared up. Disney nerd status confirmed. Will be there next week, sad I missed catching this one last time.

[@bluesun2662]

Be proud of your status, LOL! People who aren't crazy about Disney don't know what they're missing:-)

[@wolfcasterfluffytail898]

I need some of this in my life, especially with Pluto.

[@emberlyc.2298]

I never got to see this parade, sadly. I LOVE Festival of Fantasy though.

[@ratiganrules]

How sweet. (sniffs) Oh, I just love tearful reunions! I'm going to miss this parade.

[@roxelys]

If i would have the camera in hand, i would be facing the gate to see the characters for the last goodbye.

[@CircusShowplace]

Nice...best part was the end, seeing the Parade backstage with the audience going crazy, the gates closing, the then the mass of CMs all hugging, crying, and basically just *being there* for this moment. Great to see a good send off for CADCTP!

[@angelmcintre249]

how sad that I will never get to see this parade then again I have been to Disney world in my whole life

[@CAJUNAFOL]

I got choked up.

[@Buttercup399]

so many memories came flooding back :') im gona miss this so much

[@elektrics]

i totally cried. thank you so much for posting this.

[@JoseGonzalez-zh9wq]

omg omg omg i wasnt even there and im literally crying rn, maybe because of all my childhood memories of because quarantine is really making me miss disney a lot

[@Jay1637]

OMG, I thought there was something wrong with me for being emotional but I'm glad I'm not the only one. I'm gonna miss this parade. But happy to see the new one. Crazy how some of the cast members were emotional too.

[@skylertubehd-disneyonthesp6537]

It got closed a few days after my birthday!

[@23imansaray]

I saw this parade 3 times back in 2010

[@TheGnut0680]

Why did I just watch this at work... crying like a baby! I remember the first time I watched that magical parade! Such a good performance! I can honestly say, I don't feel the same with Festival of Fantasy.

[@maddiemullins8451]

I'm gonna miss this parade so much! I know how to do all of their dances and I wanted to do it from aside before they finish forever but never got the chance. It's so sad. I'm gonna miss Chacha hatter in this all the time! I LOVE YOU CADCTP!!!

[@laurenw94]

was a pretty nice parade, but to be honest after 'remember the magic' left in the 90's the parades have been just....okay to me. festival of fantasy is such a good step up for offering so much new stuff to look at and listen to. kinda miss this looking back though. :')

[@mikefico]

The dream lives on thanks for the memories!

[@wdw1hsm1girl]

I was there at the closing gates too. i had made my own Celebrate a Dream Come True inspired outfit. From all the way back to Share a Dream Come True this parade will be missed. Truly marking the end of an era of the Magic Kingdom.

[@kirbiplays]

I watched it. I got waves or high fives from every person there! I WAS SO HAPPY!! 😁😁

[@miltimo5]

thanks so much for sharing... i love this parade and sorry to see it go... loved seeing everyone applauding and appreciating it so much...

[@Lameashellcosplay]

loved the sign those people had: The dream lives on thanks for the memories :-)

[@Wolfmyth100]

I'm a past cast member (International College Program) and I cried watching this...

[@sxymike12]

I don't see why everyone was crying, I hate daytime parades but took some time to talk the parade route to get a quick look at the whole parade. I was impressed, the old one was a waste of time compared to what they have now where you just stare at the units with amazement and confusion.

[@almandot]

Gotta say it's sort've telling when, beyond the emotion, the biggest excitement about the final parade is that Jafar is carrying a staff and the Queen is carrying a flamingo. Here's to the new parade.

[@sxymike12]

The only thing I could imagine there crying over is the exit of the castle float, besides that Festival Of Fantasy is the best daytime parade since the early 90’s

[@drew12791]

The "Celebrate A Dream Come True" Parade will be replaced by The "Festival of Fantasy" Parade. Although it is sad that the parade will be gone, I can assure you that the new parade is going to amazing! CADCT began in January of 2009 and it was time for a new parade. It had an incredible 4 year run that was filled with dreams and magic. Just remember at Disney we "keep moving forward". I'm so glad someone filmed the last CADCT Parade. My sincere gratitude! Keep on Dreaming!

[@ElizabethVictoria96]

The cast members crying at the end D:

[@JFrank0412]

This Parade Begin Performing In January 2009.

[@jasonnoel1203]

That was awesome, it's like we were there. Thank you so much!!!!! We love this show and it was very emotional to watch.

[@McCracken257]

Thanks for filming the last parade! I have such wonderful memories of it! I thought the guest with the Mickey puppet was a nice touch! I got teared up, glad to see I wasn't the only one! I can't wait for the new parade!

[@katerinapurdy6001]

This made me tear up, this Parade left me with great memories :-)

[@laurajones7697]

Very emotional. Thank you for sharing.

[@valeriegalliano3648]

I'm crying because the last time I got to see this parade was a year after my family were the grand marshals. And now I'm hoping that if/when I work at Disney they bring that parade back, and I really want to be one of the dancers in that parade!! I love this this parade so much, and I still think this is better than festival of fantasy in my opinion

[@valeriegalliano3648]

And if I was in that crowd I would've fit in perfectly because I would've bawled my eyes out. No one was ready to say goodbye to tat parade. 😭😭

[@TjSamson]

I'm going to be like the cast members at the end when the Mickey's Soundsational Parade will be removed and officially retires at Disneyland. Never saw this parade though looks great.

[@DisLuv13]

I may or may not have just cried while watching this..

[@arongomez5101]

My first ever parade at Disney, will never forget it! I remember Mickey waving at me from the first float, soso memorable!

[@aTimeAsThis]

What a vantage point you had here. Talk about seeing the very end. Love this parade. It's been around for quite a long time. I want to be a parade dancer because if Celebrate a Dream Come True.

[@theory24]

Tears have been shed ;(!

[@normalawson4893]

didn't see the parade though I will remember this parade

[@anthonyperez8567]

This parade was great. It could've used like two more floats and movie specific dancer outfits but it was still amazing as a kid and still is. Also just noticed the "Celebrate Today" on the Mickey float is the same font used in the signs on the streets around Walt Disney World.

[@DisneyWorld30th]

I'm sure we'll see some of these parade floats again and again and again.

[@disneydanny2]

the Castle float will still be used in "Once Upon A Christmastime" but other than that i kinda doubt it. While "Festival Of Fantasy" WILL feature some recycled floats, those recycled elements are actually NEW to Magic Kingdom courtesy of Tokyo Disneyland.

[@hanmet]

Glad to see I'm not the only one who cried... CADCT was the first parade I ever saw on my first trip to Disney World and I'm thankful that I got to see it almost every day when I worked in Casey's Corner. It'll always have a very special place in my heart :')

[@eyitoluwani]

This was my fave :(

[@phole4ever]

This Parade is going to be missed I grew up on the three versions of this parade and now it's gone forever. And It was a sad day for all of us, for people who have worked the parade for years it's was hard to not be emotional and the guests crying set me off (eventhough I tried to stay calm the whole day) lol

[@tienvong7802]

omg im in tearing

[@ScarecrowWizardofOzFan]

I'm So Going Miss This A-Lot :'( I Love When Alice Wave To Me from Remember Me from The Meet-N-Greet with The White Rabbit as I Was at Walt Disney World in October 2012

[@GetxGingerReady]

I was in WDW on 4th January, but unfortunately we didn't see this parade. WE did see The Main Street Electrical Parade though! TAKE ME BACK

[@itsDEWgan]

Worked PAC on Main Street 05-06 for my College Program & it was the time of my young life.👌🔥💙

[@GNOSISCOLECTIVA]

What? No more? And I have never been in DW and I really wanted to see this

[@silvanocastro160]

The best in class ever parade

[@sarahbush8922]

Crying at work watching this in 2021. This was around the time my childhood ended and adulthood began.

[@skipperjosh]

Shh... no tears now, only dreams.

[@mariap.cordero4338]

:( this is so sad. I really need to know if there is going to be another parade during January and Febuary. I'm going by the end of this month and I really want to now if there is going to be any parade by that time!

[@jccoss5052]

Nice parade but good thing they ended it, Festival of fantasy fits the magic kingdom 100% better. So much more alive and fun. This was just.....nice.

[@KellyLove3110]

The feels!!!!!

[@casssandracatriona]

Omg this is sooo sad ;( I remember the first time I saw this I went to disney with my best friend and we saw this parade for the first time we got a whole bunch of ribbons and confetti, I go every year and she didint come last year so I face timed her during the parade and I find that it was special to her and now seeing it go is actually really sad 4 me :( although I can't wait to see festival of fantasy

[@AliceAndWonderLD18]

Bittersweet!!

[@HeyItsMeeTee]

I never saw this parade but im emotional about this!!! I hate to see parades go but they always come back with such amazing parades and I do love Festival of Fantasy with all my heart but I can see how much joy this brought people!

[@SunsetVidsOfficial]

I hope this show come back for a year in Walt Disney worlds 52th anniversary at the magic kingdom.

[@otsenres1636]

Wonderful! 🤗🏰

[@theworldofcharacters8877]

R.i.p Celebrate A Dream Come True parade 2009 - 2014

[@jordanself7803]

😭😭😭😭 I'm gonna miss that parade

[@jap3430]

Don't miss it

[@funkyflyswim]

this parade in my opinion has a more emotional tug at my heart, the music has a meaning, that i grew up too. and festival of fantasy is visually appealing, but nothing will beat this parade.

[@TjSamson]

Well, all of the floats of Celebrate A Dream True is all from late 90's which some people grow up watching when they visit WDW.

[@SeanCwilich]

Nice parade. :)

[@alexanderdavila4087]

That was a beautiful Parade in Disney world 🌎

[@disneydanny2]

did they run the parade from Frontierland to Main Street all 4 days?

[@TheStefan188]

what will happen to the car they use at the front? it's a beautifull car for serve passengers with disabilities.

[@breannebellezza3644]

[@Blackcatfelicia2002]

[@mmm522]

Very bittersweet. Excited for the new parade but will definitely miss the Tremaine family, they were the best part of this parade.

[@Jdub102388]
