New parade for Disneyland! (and MK)

A brand new parade is coming to Disneyland California next year!

It looks great!

Here's the complete article from the Disney Parks Blog:

"A new parade, Mickey’s Soundsational Parade, will stomp, clang and drum its way to Disneyland park next year. [Here's an artwork of the parade:]

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!”

Well, needless to say, it looks really great.

But, next year Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom will be 40 years old, and sources told us that a new parade as well as a new castle stage show are planned.
