The pictures below are from D23, the Official Disney Fan Club's website (link below). There is a fabulous article written by Sarah Smith, Kick of the Holidays with a Parade. She interviews  Bill Schermerhorn, Macy’s Creative Director, who has been bringing the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade to the streets of New York each Thanksgiving for thirty years.  A must read!
