Want to know what's coming in the 2008 Macy's Thanksgiving parade? I have a few tips:

- Disney's "Bolt" float staring Miley Cyrus (she's a voice in the movie)
- Princess castle float from MyPrincessAcademy.com (surprisingly not owned by Disney)

- Jimmy Dean's "Shine On" float featuring a giant sun

New balloons include:
- Smurfs
- Buzz Lightyear
- Horton from Horton Hears a Who
