The World According To Goofy was a parade at Disneyland which opened in June 1992 and closed about five months later to begin a 3 month refurbishment in the It's a Small World area, which included repainting the façade to a different color and adding a gift shop.[1] It contained floats showing the history of the world with Goofy-esqe characters portraying real ones.[2] For example, one of the floats showed a large dinosaur that had some of Goofy's features. The parade was shown in celebration of Goofy's 60th "birthday".[3]
Opening Unit: The float was themed to Ludwig Von Drake standing on a teacher's desk piled with history books, alongside school students dancing with books.
The Pre-Hysterical Age: The floats featured dinosaurs, cavepeople from the "Tar Bath Resort," and a Buddy Geyser band playing with Goofy. A Brontosaurus with Goofy's face appeared at the end of the unit.
Egyptian Daze: The floats consisted of Ancient Egypt as a golfing tournament. It featured the Pharoah Golf Champion "King Putt", Clarabelle Cow as Cleopatra, a Goofy Sphinx, a Goofy mummy emerging from a pyramid, and a Goofy-faced golfball.
The Renais-Sauce: The float focused on food, with paintings featuring the discovery of fried chicken, and the "Leaning Tower of Pizza," with roller-skating chefs carrying stacks of pizzas.
Goofy Runs for President: The closing units consisted of Goofy physically "marathon-running" for president, with his friends Donald, Pluto, Chip and Dale riding in "Goofy's Pace Bus," with a dance crew participating in the marathon. Goofy, Mickey, Minnie and Max rode on a Finish Line-styled float with a giant Uncle Sam Goofy inflatable. Near the end of the parade's run, following the 1992 elections (which the unit parodied), the unit instead featured Goofy becoming "Man of the Year."[2][3]
