What Is the Universal Mega Movie Parade?
The all-new Universal Mega Movie Parade kicked off this summer and rolls through mid-November. Celebrating fan-favorite, classic movies, the new parade features 13 floats, nearly 100 performers, and amazing special effects. Forget just actors —this parade includes dancers, skaters, stilt walkers, and more!
You can't miss the 16-foot-tall Stay Puft Marshmallow Man during the parade!
The Excitement of Universal Orlando Resort's Mega Movie Parade
Movie Magic in Front of Your Eyes
Take a break from Universal's awesome rides and attractions to get a good spot along the curb in Universal Orlando's Hollywood section. The parade rolls most days (barring any weather-related issues), but times change daily so check the theme park's app or go online to see the daily schedule.
Now that the logistics are out of the way, let's get to the fun part! Immortalized movie moments come from silver screen classics like Trolls, Ghostbusters, E.T., Kung Fu Panda, Despicable Me, Back to the Future, Jaws, Jurassic World, Sing, and more.
Wave to the Caterbus with giant rainbows as the Trolls float rolls by; dance with the groovy Minions; enjoy the adorable Stay Puft Marshmallow Man as it passes with the Ghostbusters; and clap along with the live marching drum line that performs the famous movie score from Jaws. There's even more surprises awaiting Universal guests, so be ready for fun!
The Tyrannosaurus rex aboard the Jurassic World float ends the parade with an epic moment!
Interactive Moments for Parade Watchers
One of the coolest features of this Universal Mega Movie Parade are the interactive bubble wands available for purchase. These interactive bubble wands blow bubbles, vibrate, and activate sounds when interacting with select floats, as well as other bubble wands. The characters from Trolls, Jurassic World, and Minions atop these bubble wands feature fun ways to experience the parade in a cool and modern way.
