After a few hints, we unveiled the mysterious new float coming this spring to the “Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade” at Magic Kingdom Park. It’s an impressive float that represents Maleficent from “Sleeping Beauty” – in the form of an enormous, Steampunk-inspired dragon.
The Maleficent Dragon has been designed in partnership with Tony Award-winner Michael Curry, whose previous collaborations with Disney Parks have included the “Tapestry of Nations” parade at Epcot and “Finding Nemo – The Musical” at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Check Jennifer’s original story more more details about the Maleficent Dragon and what’s coming to Magic Kingdom Park.
And we continued our blog-exclusive series on the history of the Disneyland Monorail with a look back at the Mark III. This model had nearly a twenty-year run on the rails above Disneyland park. Erin Glover has more on the history of the Disneyland Monorail Mark III.
