Disney World News – Move It! Shake It! Reimagined At Magic Kingdom

The Move It! Shake It! Celebrate It! Street Parade at Magic Kingdom has been reimagined. Beginning last Friday, the parade has taken on a new name and more of a dance party style. Now called the Move It! Shake It! Dance & Play It! Street Party, this updated experience is even more interactive and is filled with upbeat music and favorite characters. Here’s the scoop from the Disney Parks Blog:

The fun starts as a parade of giant gift boxes make their way down Main Street, U.S.A. toward the Central Plaza in front of Cinderella Castle. Everyone’s invited to follow the procession and dance along to the original song, “Party Up!” Once party hosts Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Goofy pop up, it’s time to join in and dance with our party peeps and favorite Disney pals like Stitch and Phineas and Ferb.

You’ll “Move It!” You’ll “Shake It!” And when it comes time to “Play It,” you’ll even get to vote for the next song on the party playlist!

This street party promises to be so much fun, you’re going to want to share the excitement with all your family and friends. When you post those awesome selfies to Twitter and Instagram, be sure to tag them with #MoveItShakeItPics. They may just show up on the floats as part of a special finale moment!

Check out this video for more information about the exciting update!
