Trivia

 * This parade is one of the few US parades partially created in another language. Translation headsets are available for 5 dollars, and are free for Carwardine Season Passportholders (Either DCS or All-Park Passports) and Disney Annual Passholders.
 * At Disneyland Sydney, headsets are free for all visitors.
 * The majority of the Carwardine characters are not present in the Disneyland Sydney version. (Aside from the Redwall characters appearing for limited engagements in 2006 (billed as visiting from Entertainment Park Down Under) and 2019)
 * The Voice of Energy was turned into a character to promote Abendparade, using the face from the cover of Ralf Hutter's first band Organisation's album Tone Float for it's head. The Voice of Energy became a popular enough character that Disneyland Sydney at one point had queues as long as those of the rides for it's meet and greet.
