Disney Cruise Line announced its debut of the new float christened "Magic Meets the Sea"during the 95th Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. The imaginatively designed "ship" is modeled after the newest ship in their fleet, Disney Wish.

The world's largest parade, Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade will be held on November 25 in New York City.

Disney wish is set to sail in summer 2022.

"The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is a treasured tradition at the heart of family holiday celebrations," said Sharon Siskie, senior vice president and general manager, Disney Cruise Line. "We are honored to collaborate with Macy's for this renowned event and build upon the shared legacy of creating magical memories year after year. Just like the Disney Wish, our float will be a celebration of enchanting Disney storytelling, beloved characters and wishes come true."

Nothing is magical without the loving Disney friends, who will complete the image about the Disney Wish. 15 of them will entertain the visitors from all over the country. Minnie will adorn the ship's bow; Aladin and Jasmine with their story retold in a Broadway style stage show on board;Cinderella's bronze statue standing proudly in the Grand Hall and many more surprises.

Showcasing the grandeur of a Disney Cruise Line vessel, the new float will feature iconic design elements including a Mickey Mouse-inspired color palette, towering red funnels and an intricate filigree motif along the hull. 

"The entire Macy's Parade team is thrilled to welcome Disney Cruise Line to this year's outstanding Parade lineup," said Jordan Dabby, producer of Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. "This magical float will enchant an audience of millions in New York City, and nationwide on television with Disney's signature brand of imagination and innovation."
