Tokyo Disney is very similar to Disney World. A few of the rides are different, but the layout is the same, and they still use English for the decorations in the rides and while waiting in line. Fortunately, I went during one of five days out of the year, where, in celebration of New Years, you get to see the characters dressed in Japanese clothing.

Total 18 pictures

----------------------

Minnie in a Kimono and Mickey in a... yukata? I think...

----------------------

The whole gang in Japanese clothing.

----------------------

Pluto too (they made kind of a big deal out of pluto, and various other Disney dog characters, because 2006 is the year of the dog according to some asian calendar thingy.

----------------------

Lilo in a kimono and stitch in... something.

----------------------

Chip and Dale playing Taiko drums.

----------------------

Foreigners are cast when necessary.

----------------------

Can you guess who I had in mind when I was taking these pictures?

----------------------

I thought these costumes were really cool.

----------------------

Can you believe they had Bednobs and Broomsticks?

----------------------

Some Japaneesy parade stuff.

A guy on rollerblades cleaning up the street before the parade.
