There is no better way to end a busy day at Tokyo Disneyland than finding a spot to catch a performance of the iconic Tokyo Disneyland Electrical Parade Dreamlights which has been entertaining guests since 2001! The classic parade, which features over 20 floats covered in millions of sparkling LED lights has seen numerous upgrades and enhancements over the past two decades including the addition of new floats themed to Toy Story 3, Frozen and Tangled.
Recent guests at Tokyo Disneyland have been treated to some unexpected upgrades to the parade’s opening train and drum float which now features enhanced LED lighting and additional animation. The new train and drum floats feature much brighter LED lights and enhanced animation.
We can see the updates to the floats in this video posted by MICKEY MANIA (@mickeymania1988) on Twitter.
For comparison, here is the former train and drum float with its original lighting. When comparing the two, it becomes clear that the train float is completely new with different design elements, so this is not just an upgrade to the existing float! The enhancements to these floats are really stunning.
We’ll be sure to report on any additional upgrades to the parade as they occur!
