Disney's Christmas Dreams on Parade

We were very well alert on the time, as we didn't want to miss the Parade! Have been hearing people telling us the parade is the best of all. So we returned from the island after have a short walk around there.

The main parade is the ''Disney's Christmas Dreams on Parade'', but half hour before that there's ''Lilo & Stitch's Aloha Christmas''. About two hours before the parade already there were those 'experienced' people, settling down along the route that the parade is going to pass by, just to get themselves the best view of the parade.

We too, found ourselves a place to sit, as you are not allowed to stand by the 'road side' so that people at the back would not be blocked. There were crews giving instructions and well, we don't understand a word. The two frustrating thing in this Disneyland is that almost everything is in Japanese, and also, it's too crowded and you need to queue for long time for everything --- play the games, buying food, take photos, and also, going to washroom. So most of the time you will be WAITing and WAITing.


Here comes Lilo & Stitch~!



Following by their... alien friends


I don't know their name lar...


Then there's... Stitches??? Hmm... I guess they are Stitch's 'siblings', haha.. They come in 4 colours~ there's another yellow Stitch, but sorry, I'm not gonna post up so many photos, there's too many. But these 'Stitches' are not all the same, notice their heads --- so they are not very closely related? haha..

This is just a very short 'warming up' parade, actually people are waiting for the main show ---


The Disney's Christmas Dreams on Parade!


First we have -----Chip & Dale~


Then this Christmas tree and the dancing 'Christmas trees' just stopped in front of us.



This guy is pretty good looking but this lady is a bit... hmm... no longer young. hohohhoo..

They were singing and dancing for like 10-15minutes, then the parade move on, stop in front of the castle, then move on, stop at the last part before they end the parade. So they actually repeat the whole performance for 3 times. The crews were guarding tight on the parade.

They were moving too fast, we had to speed in taking photos!



The parade was on again late in the afternoon so we watched it again, this time from the other side. I can guarantee you, it's really worth to watch. Every year they have different decorations of the 'car' and their costumes and performances are also following each season's subject. I believe Christmas is one of the best! Christmas is a big event in Japan. But then, it's not because of the coming of Jesus Christ but Santa Clause and Snow Man.


So we had photos taken from different angles...

Hawaiian dance? Do you notice the another girl was wearing watermelon skirt? ;p



Santa Clause is coming to give you present! But I'm not a good girl, so I don't have present lar. haha...


The second time the sky is getting darker, so the photo taken wasn't very satisfying too.



Goofy and the Toy Story gang!
Eh... Where's Buzz Lightyear?




Do you see him?

Then I saw the angels coming....



Wah so pretty! I also want to wear like that..



I was like WAAAAHHHHHHH~



Magnificent! This is the best!



I'm really impressed~!


Donald Duck & Daisy~

I was thinking if Donald Duck might fall~ kakaka...



This is also very impressive!


OOOOOoooooHHHHhhhhh~

All the couples are here!

Sleeping Beauty, Snow White...


And Belle! 3 beauties in the 'car'. But Belle at the back ah... So pity oh. But this 'Belle' is not as pretty as I thought... huhuhu...

Cinderella is definitely the most popular beauty I guess~ She owns the castle~!


Hmm... I also want to see Little Mermaid lar~ But you can only find her in Disney Sea. Sayang lar...



Now the main character is out! Mickey!

I was still excited over the whole parade and really busy snapping photos when...



Huh... I thought which cartoon character came...

DoCoMo is the sponsor for this parade, so they also play a part in the parade.

What is DoCoMo? It's one of the biggest cell phone company in Japan. And the most popular one too. The one we are using is Softbank. haha..

After watching the parade we rushed to watch the One Man's Dream II - The Magic Lives On at the show base in Tomorrow Land.


It started with Black and White scene where I actually thought that Mickey is just part of the picture~


Then Minnie also pop out from the 'house', while Mickey presented her a bouquet of black and white flower where he changed it to a colourful bunch.


Then everything turned colourful~



Orang Utan dance --- do you see the banana hat? kakaka...


Bug's life!


Just a Little Magic...
It's not so easy to capture the photos as we are at the second last row..

Wendy got caught by Captain Hook!

'Dic Dac Dic Dac' --- The crocodile coming to hunt for his favourite food --- Captain Hook!

Peter Pan comes to the rescue!

Prince Charming kissing Sleeping Beauty~~

Cinderella joined the joy~ And Snow White too. But the photo is blur lor.


Then we have Donald Duck on the act and Goofy the Director!



And the final show --- Mickey Mouse and gang in the dance~




There are a lot, but most of the photos are blur la. I can't post so many also. ;p

Pity part of it is that we don't understand the show. Well, what to do. Most of the visitors are Japanese. huhu...
