Disneyland Rose Parade Float?

[MissChristine]

I loved that it rained last year. I've gone every year since I was a newborn, so there was no way I was going to miss out on the parade even though there was going to be a little...ok...A LOT of rain! All of the Star Wars stuff is going to be pretty dang cool.

Don't forget to cheer on the La Canada Flintridge float!

I see that the Anaheim float is being built by Phoenix, so maybe I'll get to see it during decorating open house. One of the Phoenix facilities is right by where I park my car to ride the Gold Line to work. I've seen various floats out on the street at times over the past months as they bring them out for the tests and inspections they have to undergo. Phoenix also has facilities over by the Rose Bowl that you can visit at designated times.

Meh for decorating companies. I much prefer the Self-Built entries. They just seem more special to me.

Is there anywhere to get the concept art for the floats?

There will not be a Disneyland Float but George Lucas is the Grand Marshall (celebrating Star Wars 30th Year in 2007) and he sponsored TWO Floats! One of the floats will be escorted by . . . 250 STORMTROOPERS !


University of Redlands is celebrating 100 YEARS! Och Tamale!


There are plenty more surprises to come!

I was a Unit Manager in the parade last year.... The year that it rained for the first time in 50 years. In fact.... The disneyland float was constructed, tested and decorated in my float barn (azusa) !

Charisma, perchance?
I saw the Star Wars floats being put together. It's got some pretty cool hydraulics going down. They've also got the Pac10/Big10 Rose Bowl floats there.

Here's a link to some pictures I took of the Anaheim float mid-day Dec. 31st at the Rosemont Pavilion float decorating facility in Pasadena.

Great pics, thanks for sharing!!

The float is beautiful, but I'm a little disappointed in the monorail. It's so generic that it's hard to look at and say "Hey, that's from Disneyland!" I think the Castle or even the Matterhorn (since you can see it from all over town) would've been a better choice.

Thanks for giving a dog a bone, Anaheim.
