Definitely the highlight of the parade was the very first float carrying Mickey Mouse. As Mickey travels down Michigan Avenue, he uses his magic wand to light the Christmas lights along the street, block by block.
Some other highlights of the hour-long parade- large balloons in the shape of ornaments and presents, as well as a giant Frosty the Snowman; various Disney characters, including Donald and Daisy Duck and Pluto, on various floats and buses; and, of course, Santa Claus.
I'll add some pictures soon- look for more on Facebook. Some tips for those who may attend next year- get to the parade route early (about an hour before the parade begins) in order to have a front row view (the crowds were at least 5 people deep by the time the parade started; the north end of the parade route is much less crowded than the south end; and, finally, make sure to bundle up!
