Tokyo Disney Resort will celebrate its 35th anniversary this year on April 15.

Tokyo Disney Resort will be celebrating its 35th anniversary this year, as it opened its gates as the first Disney theme park built outside the U.S. on April 15, 1983.

Starting this April, the park will host the special anniversary event “Happiest Celebration,” with an all-new daytime parade, an update to “it’s a small world,” and more.

The celebration begins with Tokyo Disneyland’s premiere of “Dreaming Up!,” a brand-new daytime parade that takes guests into a world of imagination and fantasy.

Mickey Mouse and Pluto will lead the parade on a float pulled by winged horses, as Mickey, the host of the parade, guides guests into the world of dreams. The parade will also feature floats with Minnie Mouse, Cinderella, Rapunzel, Belle, Donald Duck, Goofy, and Baymax in his first appearance at the park.

Also arriving for the 35th anniversary at Tokyo Disneyland is the reopening of “it’s a small world,” with the addition of 40 new figures based on Disney characters from “Frozen,” “The Little Mermaid,” “Peter Pan,” “Tangled” “Hercules,” “Moana” and more.

Main Street in the World Bazaar will be transformed into Celebration Street for the length of the event. In the center of World Bazaar will be Celebration Tower, a 10-meter-tall monument that features nine Mickey statues dressed in a different costume from previous Tokyo Disneyland anniversaries, as well as from the Grand Opening of Tokyo DisneySea.

At Tokyo DisneySea, the celebration arrives with the new show, “Happiest Celebration on the Sea,” where Disney characters welcome guests to celebrate the milestone anniversary in new costumes on the waters of Mediterranean Harbor.
