[yannkees4]

when does mickey come and do know what characters are in the parade

[jtcent]

Watch the end of this video. Mickey appears in the final float. Watch the first part in order to see the rest of the characters.

[muffles12]

every time you go tokyo disney resort when you meet like wendy alice snow white you may hear character host speak english from uk and austraila not from japan and if hotel bulit two why your picture already strating bulit late nov 2005?

[jtcent]

The face characters are all usually caucasians from N. America, Europe, Australia, etc. in order to match the cartoon character's appearance closer. Many character CM's also say a few Japanese phrases.

[muffles12]

so park and rides bulit in tokyo disney resort took 3 years ?

[jtcent]

Most attractions take just over a year. The whole of TDS took about three years to build. The Hotels take about two years.

[jtcent]

The Parks and Hotels are designed by Walt Disney Imagineering in the US. But they are built mostly by Japanese contractors.

[muffles12]

so park and hotel bulid made for japan or american?

[jtcent]

Usually shows & parades are made in the US originally for the Japanese parks. However, smaller shows are produced in Japan. All music is done in the US, though.

[muffles12]

so all past chirstmas and halloweed parade made in japan or american for japan?

[mickeyfan23]

I wonder how they choose the themes for the events?

[jtcent]

Hahaha. That's a good question. I think the Japanese side (OLC) comes up with the names or image. And then Disney finds a fitting similar title in English. So at times the name seems too long or wordy in English.

[jtcent]

Yikes! What a question! Hmmm, Belle, then Pocahontas. :-)

[mickeyfan23]

Which Disney character would you kiss underneath the mistletoe?

[mickeyfan23]

Do you knnow what's this year's Countdown Parade theme is?

[jtcent]

Nope, not sure yet. But perhaps something that will preview the Park's 25th Anniversary for next year. 2008 is also the year of the Rat (Mouse, in Japan). So there will probably be a tie-in to that.

[JamesCraven2007]

If I was Disney, Santa belonged at the end. Mickey at least could haven been with Minnie at the start.

[jtcent]

In past parades, Santa had been on the final float. In Tokyo parades, Mickey has been known to appear in the first, middle or final floats.

[mickeyfan23]

For me, I liked Mickey's float. Even though Santa is usually the finale, still it looks right for Mickey. Overall, Mickey's my favorite character. To tell you the truth, he looks cute dressing up as Santa with the beard.

[jtcent]

Yeah, I caught that he was wearing a beard this year. Very funny! :-)

[mickeyfan23]

What was your favorite part of the parade and who's your favorite character?

[jtcent]

I liked Minnie's angels float. It looks a lot better in person than in pictures or video. My favorite character is Mickey, of course. :-) How about for you?

[JamesCraven2007]

Who was the brain surgeon who decided to put Santa in the middle of the parade and Mickey at the end?

[jtcent]

Well, it may have been OLC's idea to do it, but in the end Disney must have approved it. Hehehe.
