The 1998 Walt Disney World Easter Day Parade was broadcast by ABC on Easter Sunday, April 12th. The parade was hosted by Ann Jillian and Regis Philbin. Regis Philbin takes us into Disney’s Animal Kingdom 10 days before the newest Disney adventure park is scheduled to open to the public. Movie magic is happening over at Disney MGM Studios where we take a behind the scenes look at the making of Disney’s latest theatrical release, “The Legend of Mulan”; but before that, we have a very special introduction of the all-new Animal Kingdom by Disney CEO, Michael Eisner.
According to Michael: “Right now, Imagineers are busy putting the finishing touches on the greatest invention in 65 million years. A time rover that will rocket you into the past to meet the living, breathing giant dinosaurs. Safari guides are getting ready to take you on exotic expeditions deep into the African wild and historic British trains and riverboats are all set to whisk you off to the amazing rain forests, savannas, and jungles of Africa and Asia…all without leaving Walt Disney World.” In a special video segment, we get to prepare for the parade with the Glenbrook South High School Marching Band from Glenview, Illinois. The band marches down Main Street followed by a special parade segment based on The Country Bears Jamboree followed by an “In Your Easter Bonnet” sing-along ending.
