AboutPatrick Carr Expertise I am most adept at answering questions concerning travel arrangements and planning for visits to Walt Disney World. From how to get the best price on hotels, to when to visit the parks and on what day, my expertise lies in these areas. I have helped to plan trips for hundreds of people over the last 15 years. In my area, I`m known as the "Disney Guy" who can make your magical wishes come true with proper planning!
Experience I travel to WDW at least 4 times per year, and that's not easy from Northwest Arkansas! Making this many trips per year, and on a budget that doesn't break the bank makes me an excellent choice to field questions concerning all things related to the Disney parks and vacations.

Question How can I get my two daughters (3,5) in the parade next February? Can they wear their disney costumes?
Answer There is no exact way to get your kids into the parade. I have made over 35 trips to WDW and have only been able to be in one parade with my daughter and wife and that was at the Animal Kingdom.
I would recommend having them wear their costumes and be very animated (no pun intended, believe me) that morning and talk to people who look like they may be in management when you walk into the parks. That is usually when they make their choices. You never really know who these people are going to choose, and exactly which one of them is doing the choosing. Its really all just dumb luck but worth a try anyway.
