[Tokyo Disneyland] Events for January, February, and March 2025
From Wednesday, January 15, 2025, to Sunday, March 16, 2025, the third installment of the special event series "Disney Palpalooza" will take place. This edition is titled "Vanellope’s Sweets Pop World."
The term "Palpalooza" combines "pal," meaning "friend," and "palooza," meaning "a fun-filled party." This special event series is designed around the concept of "having the ultimate fun with friends by playing, laughing, and enjoying together."
Following the first installment based on Minnie Mouse’s world and the second focusing on Donald Duck’s world, the third installment, "Vanellope’s Sweets Pop World," takes you into a candy-themed world imagined by Vanellope. The park transforms into a delightful, mouthwatering sweets paradise enjoyed by Mickey Mouse and his Disney friends.
Entertainment Program (Name TBD)
The new daytime parade draws inspiration from the candy-themed resort envisioned by Vanellope in the Disney movie "Wreck-It Ralph". It’s an adorable, colorful world where everything is made of sweets.
The parade begins with Vanellope aboard a float modeled after a candy castle. The fun continues with a float resembling a fruit tart live stage, where Mickey Mouse leads a rock band performing with candy-shaped instruments.
Another highlight is the gallery-inspired float, where Minnie Mouse and Daisy Duck, as tour guides, showcase various candy-made artworks to the guests.
When the parade comes to a stop, the performers and guests dance together, creating a lively atmosphere filled with irresistible, sweet charm.
