History

edit

The parade began April 15, 2008 in honor of the 25th anniversary of Tokyo Disney Resort and Tokyo Disneyland.[1] It consists of nine colorful floats that feature several Disney characters in fantastical worlds. Minnie Mouse leads the parade and Mickey Mouse and friends close it.

During the 25th anniversary year, from April 15, 2008 to April 14, 2009, the parade would stop for show mode four times during its course, once in part A and once in part B at every section of the parade route. The average number of show mode stops for a Tokyo Disneyland parade is three. In the show mode, a specially arranged version of the song "What Time Is It?" from High School Musical 2 mixed in with the 25th Anniversary theme song "Dream Goes On" would play and guests would be asked to clap their hands and dance along in celebration. Since April 2009, the parade has carried out without stopping for a show mode and removed the "25" from the final float.

After the parade was replaced with Happiness is Here Parade, the Princess Garden and Bubbles units were relocated to the Magic Kingdom and are used for their current daytime parade called Festival of Fantasy Parade. The Jungle Safari and Pirate Moon units were relocated to Disneyland Park in Paris and is used for their current daytime parade called Disney Stars on Parade, which premiered in 2017 as part of the park's 25th anniversary celebration.[2] A few of the performers' costumes from the Jungle Safari and Lilo & Stitch units were rumored to receive a twin to Disneyland's daytime parade Mickey's Soundsational Parade's The Little Mermaid unit. The individual "hovercraft" from the Pixar Pals unit were relocated to Disneyland Paris and used for some of their special events. The Little Green Men spaceship from the Pixar Pals unit were relocated to Disneyland and used for the nighttime parade Paint The Night Parade.
