Disney Characters' Express
Petit Train des Personnages Disney
From 1st April 2007.

For the 15th Anniversary Celebration.
Previous discussion about this 15th Anniversary event may be found in the general topic.

Image

Main Street is brought to life each morning as Casey Jr. steams into town carrying the most famous Disney characters!

The morning cavalcade will be performed about 4 times each day with around 14 characters (not including Mickey and Minnie). It will travel up Main Street USA, around Central Plaza and then return to Town Square, stopping 4 times during its journey for guest interaction.

The old Dumbo float of The Wonderful World of Disney Parade will be repainted and redesigned in 15th Anniversary colours. The music choice has yet to be confirmed.

Or maybe they'll have a new song for this, too?!

Will this Express perform everyday in every season?

That works brilliantly!! Very striking with the blue, white and gold. I wonder how many really unusual characters we'll get to see on this? :?

And the music was?....

And another edit, lol, is it known why the face of the train is covered up with the blue ribbony thing?

The music's from "Disney's Party Express" from Tokyo a few years ago, but with totally re-written lyrics. This song is also used in Hong Kong for their rainy day parade.

I watched the Disney Express movie with Robert a few moments ago. He was a bt concerned that Casey couldnt see where he was going! (Notice that the re paint didnt fool Robert! But then again the poor child has been brain washed with Disney for the last four years, so he probably would pick up on that!)

He was chuffed to see Woody n Jess. D'you think they'll change the characters every day?

Ooooh I love the music! If someone had said "it's from Tokyo", I'd probably have screamed and feared a Happy-Happy-Halloween soundtrack like the Stitch Cavalcade... but this, is very very nice. Great choice and rework by Vasile Sirli, I bet. :wink:

Looks like Dancin has finally been put to rest then...

:D It looks wonderful!

:) I'm curious to as to whether or not the characters will vary throughout the day. :P Since there's 4 showings, I think it would be good if they switched characters each time.
