The current version of thee parade is 35 minutes long, but it isn’t really a parade at all. The floats all stop in a circle around the hub and continue with lots of songs and dancing to get the crowd pumped up and let you sing and dance along with a grouping of some of your favorite characters. After the party is over, the floats go back down Main Street, U.S.A. the same way they came in.
“Move It! Shake It! Dance and Play It!” is expected to have its final show on December 1, 2018.
