Pre-Parade Cars

With the release of new films, both in theaters and home video, the parade has had several pre-parade promotional units that have not been permanent additions. Those "Guest stars" include: ''Enchanted'', ''Ratatouille'' and ''Chicken Little''.

Former cars

The vehicles and floats themed to ''Atlantis: The Lost Empire'' and ''Hercules'' were removed during the parade's time at Disney's Hollywood Studios.

Walt Disney Studios Park

This parade replaced the ''Disney Cinema Parade'' and ''High School Musical: The Party Show'' at Walt Disney Studios Park. This version of the parade was also 25 minutes long, with a show-stop on stage at "Place des Stars."

Regular cars

The following eleven cars were at the Walt Disney Studios Park parade from the premiere on April 4, 2009. The parade route began and ended at the backstage gate next to Animagique. The parade had an update on April 2, 2010, with the twelve floats. By 2012, the show's stop at "Place des Stars" had been cut, with the floats simply driving through the studios as a normal parade.
