Disneyland is filled with magic, memories, and memorable moments. With unique attractions, character meets and greets, a beautiful firework display, and one-of-a-kind entertainment offerings, the theme parks in Anaheim, California, are a must-visit for families.
On a recent visit to Disneyland, families gathered on Main Street, U.S.A., to watch the "Magic Happens" parade. Unfortunately, one Disney character suffered a wardrobe malfunction mid-route, but they laughed it off.
Chip's Outfit Breaks During "Magic Happens" Parade
During one section of the "Magic Happens" parade, Minnie Mouse leads a group of other characters, including Donald Duck, Chip and Dale, Pluto, and Goofy. As the group of characters started their number, Chip was seen running off to the side to one of the nearby Cast Members.
One Guest caught the incident on film, showing the Cast Member fixing Chip's outfit from the front and back. Donald Duck then comes over and jokes around with Chip, throwing his hands at him, which lets Chip laugh off the ordeal.

Fans loved the video and had fun with it, as one user commented, "Donald's just adding insult to injury."
Another shared an incident they witnessed the other day at Disneyland: "On Sunday, I was in front of Me Lincoln and a performer had a costume issue. The performer just ran off stage and didn't get it fixed."
More On "Magic Happens"
"Magic Happens" debuted days before the COVID-19 pandemic shut down the Disneyland Parks. Due to the pandemic, Disneyland reopened its Parks in "phases," meaning fireworks and parades were among the last things to return to the Parks.
As Disney announced its 100th-anniversary celebrations, which is being called Disney100 Celebration, the Parks also announced the return of "Magic Happens."
The official Disneyland website describes the "Magic Happens" parade as follows:
As part of the Disney100 Celebration at Disneyland Resort, celebrate the return of this unforgettable spectacle that reminds us you don’t need wings to fly, shooting stars are for wishes and magic doesn’t end at midnight!
With a wave of his wand, Mickey Mouse leads a cavalcade of fabulous floats, whimsically costumed performers and popular Disney pals around the park and into your hearts—all while moving to a high-energy contemporary musical score that puts a spin on classic Disney hits. In addition, a stirring song co-composed by singer-songwriter Todrick Hall brings some of your favorite Disney tales to life like never before.
Watch Moana ride the crest of a beautiful wave in her voyager canoe, followed by Coco’s guitar-strumming Miguel joined by his dog Danté and other fantastical spirit animals and behold the enchanted forest from Frozen 2 as Anna, Elsa, Olaf, Kristoff and Sven pass by. The parade’s grand finale commemorates memorable moments from Disney classics in an incredible procession that’s not to be missed!
It is important to note that the "Magic Happens" parade may not occur daily, and showtimes are subject to change. Be sure to check the Disneyland app for the most up-to-date information.
