Walt Disney with Mickey and Gang by Castle in Disneyland

Disneyland
"It all Started With a Mouse"
Sleeping Beauty's Castle towers above a colorful array of characters from the wrold of make-believe, led by Walt Disney and his first and foremost star ... Mickey Mouse.
1965.

All the way to the right (you can see the skirt) is a chicken, then an ostrich then a camel and his rider - they are all from the 1965 Christmas parade inside Disneyland, “Fantasy on Parade”.

Then you see Dopey, (behind Dopey is the Mad Hatter's Hat), Goofy, Mickey, Kanga, and Pluto. Behind Walt Disney you can see the character from Pinocchio called Foulfellow. Then there is The Three Pigs and the Big Bad Wolf. Last is Captain Hook and I'm not sure about the rabbit, maybe from Winnie the Pooh or the white rabbit from Alice in Wonderland?
