Billie, the lead character from Disney’s upcoming animated film Hexed, made her first Disney Parks appearance during Christmas parade filming at Magic Kingdom on November 10.
According to WDW News Today, Billie rode on a holiday float alongside Marie from The Aristocats and Nick Wilde from Zootopia during filming for ABC’s annual Christmas Day parade. Magic Kingdom hosted daytime Christmas parade performances November 10 and 11, giving regular daytime guests an opportunity to see entertainment generally associated with Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party.
The filming also temporarily removed the Festival of Fantasy Parade from Magic Kingdom’s usual schedule, according to the source.
Disney has announced that Billie will begin greeting guests at Disneyland Park on November 20, then at Disney’s Hollywood Studios on November 25—the same day Hexed is set to open in theaters. Disney had not announced a specific Hollywood Studios meet-and-greet location, schedule or end date.
