QuoteFirst Look: Artwork for Mickey's Soundsational Parade Coming to Disneyland Park in 2011

A new parade, Mickey's Soundsational Parade, will stomp, clang and drum its way to Disneyland park next year.



Today, we're sharing the first preview of the artwork for Mickey's Soundsational Parade. It gives you a glimpse of the vibrant colors and exciting array of Disney characters that may appear on the streets of Disneyland park in 2011.

Plus, there are a whole lot of exciting elements for the new parade that can't be captured in this artwork:

  • The parade is an explosive music festival with thrilling rhythms and bold percussion that will bring to life some of the most beloved melodies from Disney films.
  • Live musicians will amplify the fun. Mickey Mouse and some of your favorite Disney characters will play live and will encourage members of the crowd to join a giant jam session.
  • Lively dancers will stomp out rhythms as a syncopated drum line, twinkling cymbals, steel drums and more entertain guests with sensational sounds!

The parade promises to be the most foot-stomping, infectious festival of music you've ever seen — or heard! I've heard it's "soundsational!"

I wonder if this spawned from the alternate idea Katy Harris talked about before Paris' Once Upon a Dream Parade was decided on for the 15th, celebrating music and musical instruments...

Looks like the kind of parade Disneyland is sorely missing, anyway!

This is amazing news. With a new parade, Little Mermaid attraction and Star Tours 2 all opening in 2011. I am so going to Disneyland now  :D

What I'm liking from the concept art shown is that it has no Pixar Characters. Finally we have something new at Disneyland that does not feature any Pixar. The concept art looks very much like that for Tokyo's Jubilation Parade. Really interested in what the finished product will look like and really pleased to see a Princess and the Frog float.

Thanks goes to the Disney Parks blog for sharing and re confirming this fantastic news.

This does look fantastic, I too am relieved to notice the distinct lack of Pixar, though I bet Toy Story will be in there before the finished product hits the park!! Also, is that Giselle I spy on the front of the princess float?!?! :o

This is the only parade I;ve seen that looks like it might almost be as good as OUADP.

I think its rapunzel, because it looks like her hair trails from the tower to her head at the front  :)

This isnt for Disneyland Paris if thats what you mean.....

I have to say i dont agree that ouadp has run its course, its only just 3 years old ! Its still got alot of life in it. And its an amazing parade !

it looks like an improvement over 'Celebrate: A Street Parade' making it more character based.  I always find it a bit odd; Mickey and Minnie rocking out to 'I Love Rock n Roll'!!

It looks very impressive and enjoyable :thumbs:

I think the floats are mickey and friends, lion king, peter pan, mary poppins, princess and the frog, aladdin, the princesses, little mermaid and i think the saludas amigos.

I am surprised the parade regulars e.g. alice in wonderland and winnie the pooh are not in it.
I am glad that princess and the frog and tangled will be featured though, which will make it fresh and origional, am i right in thinking that she has never had her on parade float before.
I only hope that we don\'t lose sight of one thing,that it was all started by a mouse[size=150] Walt Disney

Ah well spotted! :) I think I remember reading that they can't use Giselle as a parade or face character in the parks because she's based on Amy Adams and Disney have to pay her every time they use her image (or something to that effect!) which was why I was so surprised when I thought it was her!!
