Kermit and the Muppets vs. Mickey and Friends

If you didn’t know, I dislike most parades. If you want to know why, go back and read the post I did on parades. This post is about a parade I would watch.

This parade would have to be in DHS. Here is the premise. Two large trucks are driving towards each other. You can’t see who is driving either one. They stop in front of each other and start honking at each other in front of a big screen. After a few seconds the door opens on the first truck and Mickey steps out. Mickey says he’s on his way to meet Minnie and he needs the other truck to move. The door on the other truck opens and Kermit steps out. He tells Mickey that he needs to move because he’s on his way to pick up Miss Piggy.

After the first exchange Kermit and Mickey say the only way to settle the problem of who needs to move is with a showdown and the people watching will decide who wins.

Mickey pushes a button on his truck. Flaps fall down revealing a colorful sign for the Mickey Mouse Club. The music starts and he leads everyone in a sign along of the Mickey Mouse Club Theme.

Next it’s Kermit’s turn. He pulls a lever, the rear of his truck opens and a bunch of Muppets, including the huge Muppets come out. The music starts and Kermit leads everyone in a sign along of the Muppet Show theme.

Mickey responds by pulling a lever on his truck. The top of the truck opens and Ariel laying on a rock appears and the characters from The Little Mermaid come out the back. The music starts and they lead everyone in a sign along of Under the Sea.

Kermit grabs a cell phone. The next thing you know a second truck pulls up behind the first. The sides fall out, the top opens up and the entire Muppet Band including Animal, appear. They do some famous song and of course it takes a while to stop Animal at the end.

Mickey grabs a cell phone and before you know it a giant mining cart pulls up. The Seven Dwarfs pop out and lead everyone is a sign along of Hi-Hoe.

Kermit makes another call and a bus pulls up with every Muppet not there already. They do a big musical number.

Mickey makes another call and a bus pulls up with dozens of Disney Characters and they do a musical number.

After that a number of the Disney villains show up on the screen behind the two trucks. They say that they’ve had enough and are going to take over Disney World.

The Muppets and Disney Characters group up and lead a cheer to scare the villains away. After that they do a big musical number together and everyone is happy.

Once the final musical number ends Minnie and Miss Piggy pull up in cabs from each end. They are both upset because they never got picked up. When they storm out of their cabs, everyone panics. The Muppets jump back in the bus and burn rubber to get out of there. The Characters do the same thing. The mine cart and band truck both take off too. The remaining characters pile into their respective trucks. Only Kermit, Mickey, Minnie, and Miss Piggy are still out in the open. Minnie and Miss Piggy make some funny comments about their boy friends to each other.

Finally Kermit and Mickey sneak over to one of the trucks and take off. Out raged, Minnie and Miss Piggy jump in the other truck and chase after them. Rizzo the Rat appears on the screen with Remy and they say everyone should scatter before Miss Piggy and Minnie come back and they also say thanks for coming, enjoy the rest of your day!

I’d call the parade “Kermit and the Muppets vs. Mickey and Friends.” It might not be a conventional parade but it would be fun.
