Fun Fact: 2 of these floats (Statue of Liberty I know fore *SURE* , the other i don't) would later become the 2 2-ring circus floats in the Main Street Electrical Parade at Disneyland and the Tokyo Disneyland Electrical Parade at Tokyo Disneyland. Orlando was in charge of building Tokyo's floats so they never had the full circus in *THEIR* version, only getting it the first time California's floats paid a visit to Florida from 1997 (for almost 2 years of refurb) to April 1st of 2001.
Great use of the Disneyland and Walt Disney World souvenir Ektachrome slides that used to be available at the Disney shops in the two theme parks and the vinyl record album that was available at the time. Parade ran from Late 1975 through early 1977. Timing is off though, showing pictures not in line with the music. How do I know? I was lead of a crowd control team from the Main Street turn the front of the castle, at Walt Disney World during the Parades and ride operator at Eastern, If You Had Wings ride. (WDW employee Sept, 1971 to July 1976)

Great overview. Brought back memories. I was a dancing school kid behind the school house in 1976/1977.

Putin would have fits if he sees Trump using Disney to design his military parade. Pete can ride the tank Trump wants.
