. The storyline of the parade is loosely based on the elements of ''Fantasmic!''. The 31 floats were split in three acts.

, and the Queen from Snow White and Fantasmic, are also in the show. ''Disney's Fantillusion!'' was designed and built for the parade route of Tokyo Disneyland. Each act would enter one portion of the park's parade route and then halt for a "show stop". The parade would the progress to the next section and halt again for the next show stop. This ensured that every guest watching the parade could see all three acts of the story. After six years at Tokyo Disneyland, the parade closed at the end of its ''"Sayonara Disney's Fantillusion!"'' season on May 15, 2001.

, where they were left exposed to the elements before being packed and transported to Europe the same year. The floats which had not been bought are thought to have been destroyed. Of the 31 floats in the Tokyo version of the parade, 15 were transported to

due to financial limitations. Of those 15, only thirteen floats were used in Paris' original production of the parade. The two floats that were bought, but never used were the Nasty Grotto and Murkey Dungeon. These floats were initially utilized to train new drivers but have since found other uses in providing spare parts. Although 15 were purchased, it's said that more floats were actually purchased by Paris and since they had been sitting backstage since 2001 until 2003, more floats were damaged due to the weather elements of Paris. Paris also bought most of the original costumes used in Tokyo's production of the parade, but owing to electrical difficulties and European performers being larger than their Asian counterparts, some were unable to be utilised. New skirt-like costumes were fashioned for the Evil Villains sections as a replacement for the "Ghouls" costumes, and new Court Dancer costumes were created for the Happy Ending. It took the floats more than 40 days to reach to Disneyland Paris from

The unique costumes were created using 88 individual designs, 290 different fabrics, and 10 different light mediums including mini-lights and fiber optics. The costumes work together with the music, choreography, and lights to produce a fantastical, magical effect.
