Flashback Friday: Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea Summer 2010

Friday, June 3, 2011

It's been awhile since I've done a Flashback Friday. Today I'm bringing you a special one all the way from Tokyo. My friend Picopicopinono is sharing some photos from Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea from Summer 2010. 
Water is very popular during the summer because of the heat, but due to the recent earthquake many of these shows have been canceled for this year. 
Let's flashback to last summer.
Tokyo Disneyland
"Cool the Heat"
Cool the Heat ran four times a day in front of Cinderella Castle. Plumber Goofy appeared to repair a water leak from the castle but failed. Water sprayed in great force on the stage. After Goofy failed to repair the leak, a character (Mickey, Minnie, Donald, or Stitch) came out with four dancers. They  would say splash and more water would spray out and soak the guests.

Midsummer Night Panic
This was held twice nightly in front of Cinderella Castle.
Captain Gantu intruded Stitch's Hawaiian party. They would then have a rhythm battle that included fire and water. 
The guests got soaked.

Tokyo DisneySea
 Chip n' Dale's Cool Service
Chip and Dale came out on a boat and sprayed water  onto guests. Then another boat would appear with a robot Chip n' Dale.  They would ask the crowd if they wanted more water with a keyword being "Mega Splash". 
Several boats with other characters like Goofy and Mickey Mouse came out and sprayed the guests too. 
It was hard to take pictures without your camera getting wet.


Around the four minute mark you will see this video camera get sprayed.
 Bon Fire Dance
This event arranged a "Bon Festival Dance" that is a traditional event of summer in Japan.
The Bon Fire Dance was done in an Arabian course because the King Sultan said, "I want to see the festival of Japan".
Guest also danced with Mickey, Minnie, Aladdin, and Jasmine.

Disney Kids Summer Adventure
Nami-nami-na
This event was held for kids. They danced with characters and sang nami nami nami nami nami nami na.
Nami is wave in Japanese.
Because it was hot in the summer of 2010, this event got canceled several times.


I want to thank Picopicopinono for sharing this great flashback with us. It's so fun to see the Disney magic throughout all the parks around the world.
