Guests, Dancers, Disney Characters Take to the Streets for Exuberant New Disneyland Show - Celebrate! A Street Party
ANAHEIM, Calif. - With so much in life to celebrate, the Disneyland Resort is inviting all of its guests to “Celebrate Today” with exciting, new entertainment, including this rollicking street party on Main Street U.S.A., in Disneyland park.

WHAT: “Celebrate! A Street Party,” an exhilarating spectacle of music, dance and guest participation. This dazzling street show features an energetic cast of dancers – some atop stilts – and Disney characters who invite guests to join them in the kind of celebration that can only be found at Disneyland.

WHEN: Daily, beginning Friday, March 27, at three locations along the parade route in Disneyland: Main Street, U.S.A., the Central Plaza near Sleeping Beauty Castle, and the mall in front of “it’s a small world.”

CAST: “Celebrate! A Street Party” features nearly 100 performers, including 48 dancers, 12 stilt-dancers, DJs, bicycle drivers and Disney characters including Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Pluto, Goofy, Chip n’ Dale, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Lilo and Stitch, Woody and Jessie, Mary Poppins and her friend Bert.

THE SHOW: The party starts with colorful float units and the exciting new tune “Pumpin’ Up The Party.” Three main units are designed like rock ‘n’ roll stages and feature a live Party DJ. These three are separated by floats representing giant Disney character balloons: Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy. Streamers wave overhead, connecting the show units into one massive party zone, decorated with party ribbons and Mickey-shaped balloons. The DJ invites guests to shout out what they’ve come to celebrate, and invites everyone to join the party and dance.

LET’S DANCE!: Dancers don fedoras and swing-style Zoot Suit jackets for a mix of swing dance tunes: “Jump With My Baby,” “Jump, Jive & Wail” and “I Wanna Be Like You.” As the excitement builds, the DJ invites everyone to shake it up: “Let’s rock!”

LET’S ROCK!: The dancers change from swing costumes to flashy party costumes and hop into a rock ‘n’ roll dance mix: “I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll,” “Do You Wanna Dance?,” “The Twist” and “Let’s Twist Again.” They invite spectators to join them twisting in the street. Stilt-dancers join in as the music picks up a Latin beat.

LET’S CONGA!: The dancers change into hot Latin colors for the tunes “Cup of Life” and “Tico, Tico.” They pull guests into a fun-filled Conga line that weaves around the floats. The conga line weaves to a pulsating medley of Disney hits, newly arranged with a Latin flair: “Under the Sea,” “Friend Like Me” and “Tiki Room.”

FINALE: As the energy hits its height, the DJ calls for guests to “Clear the streets. This party is pumpin’ and it’s out of control.” The traveling bicycle/drum kits enter the street and the entire cast is rockin’ and rollin’ as the float units come to life with surprise finale effects. The final “Celebrate!” moment showers the audience with confetti streamers.
