RefurbishmentJun 8, 1997#

The Toy Story Parade performed for the last time after a run of about nineteen months.

The closing date comes from listings rather than contemporaneous coverage: Wikipedia's former-attractions table gives "Toy Story Parade (November 22, 1995 - June 8, 1997)" and the Disney Wiki entry gives the same day. Yesterland's page, checked directly, carries the premiere date only and no end date. The same Wikipedia table's Aladdin's Royal Caravan and Block Party Bash spans match Yesterland's independent pages exactly, which supports its accuracy here.

The Toy Story Parade premiered at the Disney-MGM Studios on the same day Toy Story opened in U.S. theaters.

Yesterland: "Toy Story Parade premiered at Disney-MGM Studios (now Disney's Hollywood Studios) on November 22, 1995 - the same day that Disney-Pixar's Toy Story opened in U.S. movie theaters." Wikipedia's attraction list gives the run as November 22, 1995 - June 8, 1997. No source consulted states the parade's route, so none is claimed.

Floats carried Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Slinky Dog, Mr. Potato Head, Hamm, Rex, Bo Peep and the Green Army Men, in what Yesterland calls the forerunner of every later Toy Story attraction at a Disney park.
