How Tokyo Disneyland Handled a Parade in the Rain


 In the American Disneyland parks a parade is canceled if there's rain.  Too dangerous for the dancers and other reasons.  My first day at Tokyo Disneyland had super cold, rainy weather.  I wanted to see the parade, but assumed it would be canceled.

But it wasn't!

They announced a short version of the parade with beloved characters would be coming down the route.  (And this must have been in English because I understood the message).  I was hanging around Western Land, Tokyo Disneyland's version of Frontier Land, when the parade came down the route.

Short but sweet.

All the characters wore see through rain protection covering.

The song that played is special for rainy weather, a really cute J-Pop song.  Really, it's so nice the Japanese parks have a way for theme park goers to enjoy the parade, despite the weather.

Super nice.





 And below was the parade on another day with much better weather.

It was more like a street dance party where the floats rolled out with the dancers, and they just stayed put in a single spot for quite a long time. I watched about 15 minutes, realizing I actually liked the shorter version much better, and left.  Still fun.
