โMickeyโs Soundsational Paradeโ Debuts
Music fillsย Disneylandยฎ park now thatย โMickeyโs Soundsational Paradeโ has made its new debut. The parade kicked offย Disney Soundsational Summer, which will also include the openings ofย The Little Mermaid ~ Arielโs Undersea Adventure andย Star Toursโข, along with new experiences at theย Disneylandยฎ Hotel and Disney’s Paradise Pierยฎ Hotel.
โMickeyโs Soundsational Paradeโ features favorite Disney characters, including Aladdin, Ariel, Peter Pan and more, all led by Mickey Mouse. With unique rhythms and instruments, they will tell the story of Disney music as drumlines, percussion teams and jazz horns bring a new energy to each storyline.
Nine newly designed float units, each telling its own musical story, will travel fromย Main Street, U.S.A.ยฎ, to โitโs a small world.โ Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Pluto, Chip โnโ Dale and Goofy get the party started with a six-member drumline, followed by characters from Disneyโs classic film, โAladdin,โ including Genie as Drum Major and six cymbal dancers.
From there, the parade goes โUnder the Seaโ with a distinctly Caribbean-style sound including steel drums and marimbas, and on to the spicy sounds of Latin America with The Three Caballeros.
Next, a grand procession of Disney Princesses, including Belle, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella and Snow White, is followed by Rapunzelโs tower rising overhead. Then, jungle drums sound the arrival of Simba, who is perched majestically atop Pride Rock.
Princess Tiana glides past next on a classic riverboat surrounded by Mardi Gras dancers beating tambourines in time to a New Orleans jazz beat.
Adventure is waiting in Neverland as Peter Pan, Captain Hook and Mr. Smee are joined by Tinker Bell, who is playing a rhythm on mushrooms instead of drums. Finally, Mary Poppins and Bert bring โMickeyโs Soundsational Paradeโ to a close, along with chimney sweeps performing a broom dance amid the rooftops of London.
Please be sure to check the Disneyland parkย entertainment schedule for parade times.
