Here’s a blast from the past! In 1994 Magic Kingdom hosted a tribute to the Big Cheese himself with the Mickey Mania Parade. Not only was the colorful show a tribute to Mickey, but also a reflection of the times as well. Skateboarders and BMX bikers added a new, exciting element to the parade. Singers, dancers, stilt-walkers, and musicians joined them in the high-energy performance down Main Street USA.
Even Alice, the Mad Hatter, Pinocchio, and Geppetto couldn’t resist riding bikes during the Mickey Mania Parade.

About the author…F. G. Mama, Katie McDill, has been in love with Walt Disney World since first entering the gates in 1976. After her two kids went off to college, she moved from Georgia to the backdoor of the Magic Kingdom in Florida. She worked several years at Walt Disney World performing as Fairy Godmother in day parades, the “Best of Disney” castle stage show, and the original Electric Light Parade. For the last ten years, she along with daughter and family, have enjoyed “living the dream” in Celebration (the town that Disney built) just across the bridge from Disney World. During this time she has collaborated with son-in-law Jimmy in several production projects including Orlando Attractions Magazine-The Show, The Mindy Mouse Show and FunaticsTV. Her other career included being a writer, artist/designer, special events creator and coordinator. Now she is enjoying the good life of Anna Maria Island, Celebration, Disney World and, of course, sharing magic at FUNaticsTV!
