I'm sure the twin looks the same at Magic Kingdom.

The Grand Marshall car is awesome. The fact it is wheelchair accessable is even cooler. Nice idea to be able to buy a cup of coffee and a danish to enjoy on the ferry ride.

I believe it was also used in Disneyland's 25th anniversary parade and, I think, in some of the Circus Fantasy parades in the 1980's.
