How do the floats move at DLP?

Is there a man driving them somewhere in the float or are they remote control?

Settle an arguement.....

It's a driver of course.  They're not always hidden in the float, like the Pirate on the Dreams of Fantasy float.

I can't remember which float, but in the Wonderful World of Disney Parade there was another visable driver, with his head poking through a life ring, and he was wearing a swimming hat and curly moustache.

Adam (TR Wolf) on the left, and Phil on the right \":)\"

That was Steamboat Willie.  There were other float with the driver quite visible in that parade: Snow White, Mary Poppins, Dumbo, etc.  :)

A driver that's hidden away under the actual float..

EDIT: Apart from the Peter Pan one, the driver is the pirate on the float at the front.

Here is a picture from last year's "Once Upon a Dream" parade.

The driver is clearly visable - albeit dressed as a green plastic army man!!

Quite well disguised and nicely themed!
