Tokyo Disney Resort is holding a limited New Year’s Day event from January 1 to 12, 2026. I visited Tokyo Disneyland on New Year’s Day earlier this year, so let me give you a glimpse of the park, mainly through photos.
Tokyo Disneyland is holding a New Year’s Greeting twice a day for about 25 minutes along the parade route. Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, and other characters dressed in kimono will greet the New Year.
The parade started with the sound of taiko drums and musical accompaniment to the chorus of “HAYPPY NEW YEAR” and Mickey Mouse’s voice saying “Happy New Year, everyone! The float was accompanied by a live band dressed in happi.
From time to time, Minnie Mouse and his friends read New Year’s phrases, which is a typical Japanese performance. Chip, Dale, Clarice and others also wished Happy New Year! and New Year’s greetings from Chip, Dale, Clarice and others. The guests also had a fun and festive time with Goofy and Pluto, who squealed for the first time.
The parade itself is short, but there are many performances that will bring you into a New Year’s and festive mood at once! The parade itself is short, but it is worth seeing as it will make you feel that you will be able to spend a good year in an atmosphere of good luck for the New Year.
Also, for the first time only, the inaugural 2026-2027 Tokyo Disney Resort Ambassadors were greeted. Hikaru Hamanaka and Shingo Kameda smiled and waved widely to the guests on the parade route. The Tokyo Disney Resort Ambassadors will deliver the charm and dreams of Tokyo Disney Resort throughout Japan through public relations, goodwill, and welfare activities over a two-year period.
