5 or 6 drivers are easly seen on floats on the WWODP and OUADP so if there is any hidden drivers then this is the right topic for you!

Drivers Easly seen on:

Casy Jr. Float - The Ringmaster on the Cab
Cinderilla Float - I think there is one in her Pumkin cart
Steamboat Willie - In front of the float there is a man or woman in a ring
Dreams of Friendship - Dressed up as a Green Army Man behind Woody and Bullseye
Dreams of Fanasty - A Woman dressed up as a Pirate driving the float on the ship
Dreams of Adventure - Under Rafiki there is a small retangle which is Black and that might be the driver's cab

I think the driver in the first float of OUADP is in the moon? Pretty sure I saw a door outline in the back of it...

Yes, I think so aswell but it might be where the nails and bolts might be for the float to make the moon blink and the balloon spin around.

I also forgot one float whos driver is easly seen....

The Snow White float - At one side of the float there is a driver dressed up in a yokel kind.

In the Wonderful World Of Disney Parade the driver cabs were:

Cinderella's was right at the front in the lump of "cloud".

Ariel's was in the orange fish at the front with its' mouth open.

Belle's was in the cake.

Mary Poppins' driver was playing "Admiral Boom" on the top right of the float.

Aladdin's was in Jafar's hat at the front of the float.

Sleeping Beauty's was in the rocks below where She and Phillip stand.

And you got the others right.


And in the new parade and Fantillusion, live video cameras are used on the floats to help guide the drivers.

From what I can see:

Dream of Imagination:
Driver is inside the moon, entering by the door at the back.

Dream of Fun and Laughter:
There's a hole under the window where Alice's head is. The door is a "real" door on the dolls house (on the left if you look at the front of the float).

Dream of Friendship:
Driver is the Toy Solider as described before

Dream of Fantasy:
The driver is the pirate on deck. They obviously enter by the staircase on the right hand side of the float

Dream of Power:
The driver is somewhere inside the mountain, as the door on the left suggests. Perhaps part of the rockwork is made of a mesh that allows the driver SOME visibility? I don't know. Several of the latter floats have slits in the rockwork that appear to be black shadows, but are viewing holes too. There seems to be a doorway between the Evil Queen and Ursula, and another next to Scar, but there's 3 people who need to be in this float of course.

Dream of Adventure:
This float houses the driver just under Rafiki as the cracks in the rockwork (viewing holes) suggest and doorway is behind Timon..

Dream of Romance I:
I'm sure I saw a doorway on the left of this float, with the driver viewing through the seaweed below Ariel.

Dream of Romance II:
We were originally told this float included two drivers. The main driver is housed in front of Belle and the Beast, peering through cracks in the rockwork once again. As for the other driver, they must be in the mound under the castle right?
Grab a balloon, come on let\'s go!

I wish we would be allowed to show stuff of how the drivers get in, That will be great for people who are confused about this.

I think it would be great if they did  BIG "Behind the Scenes" of Disneyland Paris in Normal celebrations or Anniversarys! How cool would it be to know the things you are confused on and want to know! :maleficent_bounce:
