Tokyo Disney Resort teams up with Mrs. Green Apple in 'Summer Cool-off' program
URAYASU, Chiba -- Tokyo Disney Resort (TDR)'s special summer program "Summer Cool-off" began July 2 with a surprise appearance by members of popular rock band Mrs. Green Apple.
Related parades and shows were revealed to the press on July 1. At Tokyo Disneyland, the program's theme song "Carrying Happiness," released by Mrs. Green Apple, played as band members rode in an open car with Mickey Mouse and friends.
Later on, health care robot Baymax from Disney's animated film "Big Hero 6" appeared on two floats, with the "task" of protecting visitors from the heat. Sensing the heat was wearing guests down, Baymax sprayed water on the crowd of people, drawing loud cheers.
In the evening at Tokyo DisneySea, Mickey and friends held a dance festival titled "Dockside Splash Remix" to blow away the summer heat. Fireworks and tons of spraying water energized the audience.
The summer program at TDR in Urayasu, Chiba Prefecture, will run through Sept. 15.
