Disney Theatrical Group#Background

Starting in 1949, Ice Capades started adding Disney's segment to their performances. Costumes from those shows were used at the opening of Disneyland in 1955, with some performers hired away for Disney. With the characters a hit at the 1964 New York World's Fair, Walt Disney wanted another outlet for "live" characters.{{cite news|last=Korkis |first=Jim|title=Wednesdays with Wade: 25 years of "Disney on Ice"|url=http://jimhillmedia.com/alumni1/b/wade_sampson/archive/2005/09/14/1278.aspx|access-date=July 30, 2015|work=JimHillMedia|date=September 13, 2005}} Disneyland put on Disney on Parade, a self-produced live arena show, starting in 1969.{{cite news|title=Live Disney Characters in Traveling Arena Show|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=rDwwAAAAIBAJ&sjid=ySoDAAAAIBAJ&pg=3905%2C4281044|access-date=July 30, 2015|work=The News and the Eastern Townships Advocate|issue=45|publisher=E.R.
