First visit to Disneyland! Day One, Post No. 8

Mickey Mouse on his float, playing the drums. Minnie Mouse, such a cutie pie. Love that piano keyboard skirt and all the petticoats! The genie from Aladdin and some harem girls. Are they known as harem girls in that movie? I haven't seen it, so I don't know for sure. Aladdin is certainly handsome! Undersea creatures from The Little Mermaid. The Little Mermaid herself! She kept that tail of hers moving, flipping it up and down, swiveling on that seat.

More from the parade tomorrow!

From the Disneyland Web site:

Fabulous Floats Watch as beloved melodies from classic Disney movies come to life through thrilling rhythms, Disney Characters and whimsical floats.

• Music in Motion Rhythmic beats hit Main Street, U.S.A at Disneyland Park!
• Mickey strikes up the band and leads the way with a syncopated drum line.
• Colorfully costumed musicians, energetic dancers and many of Mickey’s friends follow to amplify the fun with twinkling cymbals, steel drums and bold percussion.
• Each fantastic float has its own unique musical style, like crowd-pleasing Bollywood and South American rhythms.
• Best of all, you're encouraged to join the celebration for a giant jam session
