Magic Kingdom Archives Pinocchio Parade January 2, 1980 – June 13, 1980
The parade brought the story of “Pinocchio” to life through a chain of floats that represented scenes from the movie. On one, Gepetto played with a tiny Pinocchio puppet. Another featured dancing marionette puppets. Stromboli watched the crowd from yet another float. Jiminy Cricket made an appearance riding atop a large conscience medal float, and the Blue Fairy was also represented in an oversized window float. Pinocchio, of course, appears atop a float with friends Figaro and Cleo the goldfish in her bowl.
