ANAHEIM, Calif. – Mickey Mouse will lead a bevy of Disney characters on a musical journey that has a whole new beat this summer. “Mickey’s Soundsational Parade” debuts May 27 at Disneyland park, expressing the timeless tales of Disney music in a variety of rhythms and styles.
Nine themed floats carry the characters down Main Street, U.S.A.
Characters and performers become part of the parade units in “Mickey’s Soundsational Parade.”
Goofy lends his musical “expertise,” performing on an oversized drum.
The cymbal dancers in the Aladdin sequence create rhythm using hand cymbals.
The Three Cabarellos sequence features Piñata dancers in folkloric-style costumes, and flower dancers costumed to look like traditional Mexican paper flowers.
The Jungle Book unit features King Louie (The Jungle Book) and Terk (Tarzan) dancing with four monkey companions.
“The Princess and the Frog” unit includes New Orleans-inspired jazz, and Tiana’s riverboat is made of musical instruments including a clarinet smokestack and tambourine paddle wheel.
Tinker Bell plays the mushrooms of Pixie Hollow, part of the Never Land unit, using her wand as a drumstick.
The grand finale Mary Poppins drum unit is pulled, in part, by a giant huntsman (from the movie’s Jolly Holiday sequence) pedaling a large bicycle.
The Mary Poppins drum unit also features a moving carousel complete with kites
flying overhead, penguins riding carrousel horses, and piano keys that appear to “play.”
Eleven Mary Poppins chimney sweeps perform a dance to the song “Step In Time,” using their brooms as percussive.
