What is this?

Answer:
This was Disneyland's float in the 2004 Rose Parade, in celebration of the new, soon-to-be-opened Twilight Zone Tower of Terror ride at California Adventure. After the parade, the float was towed to California Adventure where it was put on display for about a week.

It's a preview of the latest attraction "Honey, I Shrunk the Theme Park" soon to open in place of "Honey, I Shrunk the Audience..."
-- I gotta admit that made me

A float from the Tournament of Roses parade later displayed at California Adventure.

That's the Rose Parade Float from Jan 1 2004. The tallest float the parade ever had (at the time. I don't know if any have surpassed it). It commemorated the opening of DCA's Tower of Terror in the spring of 2004.
-- I'd forgotten that it was also the tallest Rose Parade float! Thanks for reminding me. I did a little searching via Google, and I believe that record still stands.
