The new 20th Anniversary Parade is called Disney Magic On Parade. The parade is Disney's Once Upon A Dream Parade with floats deleted , transformed and painted ! The Disney Magic On Parade will be officially running from April first but several sources confirm that is will doe soft-openings starting the 26th of March ! They've taken the "Dreams" out of the parade and the new theme is "Colour and Light". Let's take a close look to what Disney Magic On Parade will be.
Update 25/02 : A French press article showes that the floats will change places and we've added te translated name of the floats
The first float was previous "Dreams of Imagination" due that one is transformed , after 5 years the moon and the sun are gone. They make place for the Disney magicians float ! The only thing they've kept from 'Dreams of Imagination' is the book base. You've got now a pumpkin with the Fairy Godmother . Then you've got the castle which looks like our own Sleeping Beauty Castle . A fun detail is the Tinkerbell who flew from the 15th Anniversary castle to the 20th anniversary parade float. Of course it isn't the same tinkerbell as it would be way to big for the parade float.
From the Castle to the pumpkin there is a magic golden bridge where our new friend the Blue Fairy (from Pinocchio ) is on. At the back of the float , Merlin has taken Goofy's place to end the firs float.
Rumoured is that the three fairies (Merrywheater ,Flora , Fauna ) will walk in front of the float like Pluto and Chip and Dale did when it still was "Dreams of Imagination".
The float is now called Making Magic.
This float is followed by the romantic part of the parade there will be carriages added for Snow White , Cinderella , Aurore and their princes. Originally they would cut Belle out of the parade but the most popular princess will probably find her way in the is magical parade. Next to these 3/4 carriages , the 'old' Dreams of Romance float will bring not only Ariel and her prince but Tiana and Naveen will be entertaining the guests. And on the back of the float Flynn Rider and Tangled will be swining to the music on her own hair. This part is called Magic of Romance.
The next float won't have any big changes . The former "Dreams of Friendship" will still have Woody , Buzz and the rest of the gang ! Even the name won't change alot from "Dreams of Friendship" to Magic of Friendship .
The parade will continue with
Aslo to the backside of the float , the Pinocchio-part , will have a new dance unit. Say 'au revoir' to the can-can dancers and 'bonjour' to the new dancers 'magic puppets'.
Our journey continues with the magic of Africa. Timon , Pumba and many more Lion King characters will still be present on the Magic of Adventure float. No news reported here so far.
We're almost at the big finish of the parade but we first see London , the Big Ben and then we think about Peter Pan , Marry Poppins . An intresting fact about the Magic of Fantasy , is that it will include the only villain in the show. He may not be the most scary villain especially not when he's dancin on a medley of 'Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious' but he still will be scared of the crocodile during the Disney Magic On Parade.
The Tinkerbell statue on the pirate ship will be removed because Tink is already present on the first float of the parade.
Colour and Light is the theme of this parade and the opposite of that are villains on a dark rock so sadly the 'Dreams of Power' float isn't included in this new parade.
To end this magical parade with Celebrate the Magic . A more magical finale of a parade is almost impossible as the "Dreams of Romance II" float will be totally pink. Minnie , Donald , Daisy , Goofy , Chip and Dale will show their 20th Anniversary magicians outfits. Now to end this parade really magical. The former see-trough castle will be replaced by Mickey Mouse himself in his Fantasia pose and aslo he will be wearing his 20th Anniversary magician outfit.
Now the music is going to be new ! Composers who did various Disney Channel projects and the Soundsational Parade made a new song called ; "Magic Everywhere" all about the song including its lyrics can be found in this article : 20th news : Magic Everywhere !

1. Who said the puppets are coming back as marionettes like in the original Once upon a Dream Parade? Think of dancers, not puppeteers on stilts!
2. Where do you see pluto on the new VIP float? He is not there…

My source inside said it would change so aslong as there isn't any proof I'm not going to change that. You're right about Pluto , I'm going to change it now. Thank you and have a magical day !
