Happy Thanksgiving, AllEars friends! We hope you’re getting ready to stuff yourselves with turkey (or turkey-less turkey if that’s more your vibe) and spend time with those you love without getting into any arguments about politics.

A while back, Disney announced that a brand new float would debut at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade for the first time, and now that time has finally come — so let’s check it out!
The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade has been a holiday tradition since 1924, and over the years we’ve seen plenty of Disney parade floats and balloons. This year, though, Minnie Mouse is making her Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade balloon debut and we couldn’t be more excited!

Minnie Mouse is one of the newest multi-story balloons to join the parade — towering in the sky as part of the launch of a new collaborative line of apparel with Macy’s.

Minnie’s balloon features her classic red dress with white polka dots and her signature red bow. And, of course, her look isn’t complete without those yellow heels! Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at the icon.

We also got to say hello to the Spider-Man balloon which is all new for 2024!

Welcome back home to New York City! Isn’t this balloon pretty epic?

Of course, we were also excited to see the Bluey balloon again!

And, don’t miss the new “Magic Meets the Seas” Disney Cruise Line float!

This float is in honor of the new Disney Treasure cruise ship (which we just got to preview!) and several of our favorite characters were there!

That includes Jasmine and Aladdin…

…and Moana and Bruno!
