Inside the Dream : The Personal Story of Walt Disney
(UK customers)

Throughout his life Walt had a great love of animals, both real and imaginary. By giving the animals in his animated films distinct personalities, Walt was able to create heartwarming characters that enhanced his masterful storytelling

Mickey's Jammin' Jungle Parade

‘Mickey’s Jammin’ Jungle Parade,’ a new, high-energy parade themed around Mickey and friends, riding five expedition vehicles through a jungle and throwing a giant party along the way for their animal pals. It will be the first true Disney parade created for the newest park.

The new parade at Disney’s Animal Kingdom is a traveling, interactive island street party that features Disney characters “on expedition” and a tribute to their animal friends. As the procession winds through the park, a menagerie of abstract animals comes to life in handcrafted theatrical designs – “bursts of living color,” says producer Paul Nichols.

During each parade, nearly two dozen guests get in on the action in customized rickshaws that accompany the Disney characters in their own safari jeeps. Minnie Mouse, for instance, appears as if she brought all the comforts of home along on her safari, with steamer trunks, wardrobe cases, hat boxes, even a bathtub (with bubbles continuously floating out.) Party Animals and energetic Party Patrols coax the audience into a singalong music fest as the parade winds throughout the park.
