Disney currently sails five cruise ships: Disney Magic, Disney Wonder, Disney Dream, Disney Fantasy, and Disney Wish. Disney Treasure will debut later this year, joined by Disney Adventure and Disney Destiny next year. A ninth cruise ship will begin sailing from Japan by the end of the decade. At the D23 event in August, Disney announced that it will add another four ships to the Disney Cruise Line, bringing the eventual fleet size to 13.

The parade will air on NBC on November 28.
