I think I would like it more if Mickey ditched the coat.

I love the tone of the red and the characters look cute in the outfits, but overall, the red seems out of place. Still, they're adorable.

The coat looks fine. Those outfits look better than the first outfits we saw months ago. Minnie looked like she had a winter scarf on.

When will these outfit be used? I'm guessing not for PTN. Soundsational maybe?

This is unofficial from another site, but it gives us a good idea of what the daily entertainment schedule will look like this summer after the 60th kickoff weekend.

Disney California Adventure Park 8:00AM to 10:00PM Daily
Pixar Play Parade 5:15PM
World of Color - Celebrate! The Wonderful World of Walt Disney 9:00PM & 10:15PM

Disneyland Park 8:00AM to Midnight Daily
Mickey's Soundsational Parade 4:30PM
Paint the Night Parade 8:50PM & 11:00PM
Fantasmic! 9:00PM & 10:30PM
Disneyland Forever Fireworks 9:30PM

Phew! That's a lot going on each day; three different parades, two different water shows, and a huge fireworks spectacular, with multiple performances of the night water shows and parade. It's the most major entertainment scheduled in any of the five Disney properties around the world, and even more than the combined daily entertainment of all four WDW parks combined this summer.

I remember Disneyland having this type of schedule in the mid 1990's with an afternoon parade, two or three Fantasmic! shows, the Electrical Parade, and the old 5 minute Fantasy In The Sky fireworks. It was a frenzy of activity back then. But this is even more aggressive with the much bigger fireworks spectacular, plus the parade and water show offerings at DCA next door.

Add in the daily major stage shows like Aladdin and Mickey's Magical Map, the Mad T Party zone, and all the smaller stage shows and entertainment, bands, and nightly dancing, and you'd be wise to get an extra shot of espresso in your Mocha at Starbucks.

Kinda hoping there's a third WOC show tagged on, like in 2010... that would be fun. Crowds might dictate that.

A nice shot of the Castle this weekend as it nears completion with it's Diamond Celebration overlay, from Dateline Disneyland.

It looks OK... just a lot of clutter. The silver baubles and straps are overdone.

These would be for meet-n-greets in Town Square. They won't be used in shows or parades.

These are the 60th anniversary costumes so M&Gs and I would guess on promotional items.

Whoa! Is Owl City going to be the singer for DLs version? Sure sounded like it from that video! And he was singing the PTN lyrics!

I'd be happy with the SB castle sans all that Home Depot Silver duct tape. I'd bet it has more Silver duct tape on it than all four WDW park icons combined. I jest

I see what you did there, and I approve.

I thought there was talk or rumors of Soundsational stil going twice a day. Is that dead now?

I think a lot of us assumed Soundsational would continue to play twice a day, but that obviously is not the case now.

Paint the Night rehearsal video

Thanks for the link. Disneyland's parade performers really do a wonderful job, and they appear to be the best of the best of the best, pulled from the massive entertainment industry talent base in Southern California. They're so fresh-faced and healthy looking and mentally engaged, it makes you feel like this new generation of young Americans is going to be okay and not all Twenty-somethings are camped out in their mom's basement playing video games.

I think Paint The Night is really going to be a spectacular parade. I already don't miss the MSEP.

Doesn't soundsational have to run twice to get the floats back to the parade building? Seems like they'd be in the way of the ptn floats if they left them backstage by space mtn until after close.

The floats will likely be driven overnight while the park is closed to the Main Street staging area - that way the floats can right back to their warehouse behind the park after its only show for the day and be completely out of PTN's way.

Ashley Brown,Broadway's Mary Poppins, will be the vocalist of "Kiss Goodnight" in the Disneyland Forever fireworks show.

More will be revealed at the press event tomorrow at 10

More will be revealed at the press event tomorrow at 10

Will they be streaming the Tuesday morning media event? Or do I have to sift through Twitter to get the scoop?
