Hong Kong Disneyland Debuts Exclusive Parade - Mickey's Rainy Day Express

(HONG KONG, June 13, 2006) - It's raining, it's pouring but that doesn't mean the show can't go on at Hong Kong Disneyland! Inclement weather will not stop the fun in the theme park this summer as it presents Mickey's Rainy Day Express, a completely different parade experience uniquely designed for Hong Kong Disneyland.

Tailor-made for rainy days, Mickey's Rainy Day Express is a whimsical steam train-inspired float with four-carriages led by a train engine in vibrant hues of orange and blue. Guests will be able to hear the arrival of Mickey's Rainy Day Express even before they see it, as the lyrical sound of a specially composed tune will send toes tapping throughout the Park.

Each carriage comes alive with its own classic Disney story as some of the world's most beloved Disney characters greet guests along the parade route. Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, princesses Cinderella and Aurora, Buzz Lightyear, Woody and Jessie as well as Alice in Wonderland are just some of the Disney characters featured in this vibrant moving spectacle.

And as a grand finale, the most famous gang of friends - Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck and Daisy Duck, Goofy and Pluto, Chip N' Dale appear in super cute custom-made raincoats guaranteed to spread cheer on even the gloomiest day.

Bobby Garcia, Show Director at Hong Kong Disneyland said, "We wanted to create a new parade to provide a unique spectacle even in less favorable weather.

"With Mickey's Rainy Day Express, guests will enjoy the same fun and entertaining elements as offered by our famous Disney on Parade. Expect surprises when you visit the theme park!"

Staying Dry While Having Fun

Getting caught in the rain at Hong Kong Disneyland is the perfect excuse to head to the nearest gift store where a range of fanciful umbrellas await guests who can choose from whimsical umbrellas with Mickey Mouse ears poking over the top, or Minnie Mouse ears complete with polka dot hair bow.

Little girls will love the pretty-in-pink parasol featuring the full array of Disney princesses while boys can shelter under the watchful gaze of Buzz Lightyear whose umbrella comes complete with retractable wings.

Or dress alike in transparent raincoats available in both adult and children sizes. From the back, Mickey Mouse's cheerful smile is beaming happily at the world.

Or choose a small Mickey Mouse-head shaped bag that unzips to reveal a raincoat that comes in red, green or blue. The perfect size for carrying in a handbag, the coat can be safely stored away ready for another enjoyable - if wet - day at Hong Kong Disneyland.
