Tapestry of Dreams

[Disney Vacation Planner]

The Tapestry of Dreams (originally called the Parade of Nations, and then Tapestry of Nations) show took the longest time to prepare of any of Disney's shows and parades currently being presented within any of the Disney parks, and is currently being presented as part of the 100th anniversary celebrations.

The Saga of Time is a twice daily parade around the World Showcase featuring over one hundred larger than life puppets along with various performers and musicians. Most of the puppets feature visible puppeteers (one of the signatures of the parade's co-designer Michael Curry). Many of the performers will be on stilts which will put the cast members around 17 feet in the air. The performers will represent some 21 different countries and continents from around the world.

Each group of performers simultaneously appear onto the promenade from all around the World Showcase. Guests will also be encouraged to join in the fun, in much the same was as happened during the 25th anniversarey celebration parades at The Magic Kingdom.

Following the evening parade, Illuminations: Reflections of Life features large flaming torches lighting the water's edge of World Showcase Lagoon, and hundreds of floating glass buoys flood the surface of the lagoon with colored lights.
