A Special Limited-Time Event

In commemoration of the 35th anniversary of its opening, the special Tokyo Disney Resort 35th "Happiest Celebration!" is currently being held until March 25, 2019 (Mon.) at Tokyo Disneyland.

From January 11 to March 25, 2019, the resort is welcoming the grand finale of the event with special versions of the parade, merchandise, and food. The anniversary event has become even more exciting!

This article introduces the event and what you can enjoy during this limited time!

A Must-See! The Afternoon Parade “Dreaming Up!”

Goofy is the first guide into the world of dreams. A parade of popular Disney characters singing and dancing energetically follow Goofy.

Make sure to look for Baymax! This is the first time "Big Hero 6" characters are featured in a Disneyland parade. The powerful Baymax flies on top of the float with Hiro, the main character, riding on the robot's back.

A Special Version of the Parade!

During the Grand Finale event, the parade stops during the procession to give guests an opportunity to dance along with the parade's theme song with Disney characters!

Cast members will teach you the choreography before the parade starts. We recommend finding a spot early to take part in the choreography practice.

Popular characters such as Minnie Mouse, Chip and Dale, and Winnie the Pooh also guide guests into the dream world. This is a must see parade for those visiting Tokyo Disneyland during the event period!

Adorable and Delicious Food at the Grand Finale

Grandma Sara’s Kitchen serves a special meal set to commemorate the Grand Finale event.

The special set consists of roast chicken as the main dish with a curry-flavored vegetable cream sauce. The set comes with shortcake and a drink for 1,580 yen including tax.
