Q: I found two stuffed-animal-head hats that my mom and I wore when we got to be a part of one of the parades at Disneyland. One is a pink panda and the other is an orange lion with a plastic raffia mane. If I remember correctly, cast members randomly picked out guests to be in the parade. I believe it was the Happiest Homecoming Parade in 2005. Am I right?

A: In Disneyland’s 45 Years of Magic Parade in 2000, guests chosen to participate in the parade were given tutus and brightly colored animal hats to wear along the parade route. Perhaps this is the parade you recall.
