As dusk arrives, the World Showcase promenade becomes the stage for this grand, triumphant ceremony in the round. The Sage of Time calls the nations of the world together. Drums pound from near and far. Torches blaze out over the water. And giant, colorful puppets dance to the jubilant harmonies in the air. No photo, no recording, no description from a friend can capture the spirit of this performance. It must be experienced to be believed.

The Tapestry of Nations Parade is really 3 "mini" parades and are all the same.

The parade is longer than other Disney parades (about 20-25 minutes).

Parade routes for 6:25pm are 1) Mexico to Germany; 2) Germany to Morocco: and 3) Canada to France. The parade route is in reverse for the 8:10pm parade. The ideal place to watch the 6:25pm parade is either Germany or Italy. The crowds are definitely smaller here.

For the 8:10pm parade the best viewing location is near the Outpost refreshment stand, or between Germany & Italy. Arrive about 15 minutes early.

Facts/History
There are 150 costumed performers in Taspestry of Nations, with 120 puppets, towering 18 feet above the ground. Nineteen giant torch towers ignite the spirit of celebration.

Script

"There is a great and lasting truth about the family of man. A truth which separates us from all the other creatures of the Earth. We can dream.
Through the centuries it is our dreams that have filled the sails of explorer's ships, splashed color on artist's paintings, and brought smiles to children's faces. There is a dreamer within each of us imagining a greater tomorrow .. daring to fly, to build, to cure. Daring to invent, to sing, to love. Daring to believe in the beauty of the world and the beauty within ourselves.
Tonight, in celebration of the dreamer in all of us, we present to you a dream of a better world ... where this circle of nations comes together to rejoice ... proclaiming the great truth that with our vast diversity, we are all dreamers at heart.
Join us as we celebrate the visions of tomorrow .... the pageant of human kind ... the Tapestry of Nations."

Sage of Time -
"Peace and goodwill to all who gather here for this earthly celebration. May the spirit of humanity bring us together. May the power of your dreams inspire the child within your heart. And now, as the drum beats call us to begin our journey, let us dance inspired into motion by visions of joy, kindness, compassion, and love...Behold, the Tapestry of Nations.
Time is the heartbeat of the world. The rhythm of our hearts inspires our drums and the drums call us to dance. Rise up...join us...all nations dance together!
Peace covers the Earth. The torches of our celebration encircle the world. The Tapestry of Nations is weaving itself together. Come and be a part of the circle dance with us.
Your dreams will unlock the future and the vision of humanity will bring us together. Let us reach out and touch the stars as they light the way to tomorrow and bring us hope...for a better world.
Join us as we dance into a new age. Enter the world of our celebration.
The universe is echoing with joy and the sound of our voices and the beat of our drums and the rhythm of our footsteps... as we rejoice together.
May peace go with you on your journey...forever dreaming of the future...We Go On!"
