Backstage photos have popped up online showing two of the new Festival of Fantasy parade floats arriving to the Magic Kingdom, readying for their debut as part of the new daytime in mid-March.

Other Festival of Fantasy parade floats will include “The Little Mermaid,” “Sleeping Beauty,” “Dumbo,” “Pinocchio,” “Peter Pan,” and “Brave.”
