Halloween Parade 2005, Part 1

As mentioned in yesterday's post, Tokyo Disneyland has a Halloween parade and they change the floats, costumes and parade soundtrack so that it is completely original every year. The photos in today's post are all from 2005. The theme that year was, "A Pumpkin Party in Pumpkin Kingdom". If you compare today's photos with yesterday's, you can see that Donald, Mickey, Minnie, Goofy and Pluto, are all wearing the same costumes that their corresponding figures in the Plaza were wearing.

Note the bat wings on the pumpkins above and below.

Above, is Minnie as the Pumpkin Queen (sorry for the out of focus shot), and below is Mickey as the Pumpkin King.....pumpkin shorts and all.

Tokyo Disneyland's Halloween parades are always pretty decent in length. There is more to see from this parade. I will be posting pics of the other units tomorrow.

There Is Just One Moon and One Golden Sun......

The Small World unit of Tokyo Disneyland's Electrical Parade Dreamlights is made up of 4 large floats. The first float is the "Showboat", with Daisy, Donald and the Three Little Pigs riding on the top deck.

The second float is the "Airship", with Chip and Dale.

The next float is the "Moon" float, with Mary Poppins, Bert, Pinocchio, Gepetto and Jiminy Cricket.

And last, we have the "Sun" float, with Lilo, Stitch, Roger Rabbit and Pluto.

This is the last unit of the parade however, the sponsor of the parade actually gets it's very own float in the Tokyo version of the Electrical Parade and that float follows the Small World unit. Tomorrow, we will look at that float and the illumintated performers that carry the rope at the end of the parade, as well as take a look at a neat little effect that takes place during the parade for one brief "blink and you've missed it" moment. Then we will move on to other subjects and even other parks. We still have a whole second Disney park in Tokyo to look at....."Tokyo DisneySea!"
