Disney Parks are known for having over-the-top live entertainment offerings for Guests. Part of that live entertainment is parades! From dazzling parades during the day to sparkling shows at night, you are sure to see a parade at any Disney Park you visit.
But what if you are deaf or hard of hearing? Well, Disney has you covered, as they have talented Cast Members who can use American Sign Language to interpret what the characters in the parade are saying or to share the lyrics of the songs! Thanks to a throwback video shared on TikTok by user @jessiejauregue shows just that:
