Mickey Mouse makes maiden voyage in Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade

Mickey Mouse joins the Macy’s 83rd Annual Thanksgiving Day Parade as one of four new balloons this year, StitchKingdom.com reports.

Mickey will be wearing his nautical uniform to represent Disney Cruise Line and sailing through the streets of New York aboard an anchor that is about four times the size of an actual cruise ship anchor. His likeness, which is 48.1 feet long, 33.6 feet wide and 60.9 feet tall, was unveiled at the D23 convention in September in Anaheim, Calif.

Think we can save ourselves a plane ticket and see our pal over at Universal Studios’ Macy’s Holiday Parade?

Yeah, this one won't be added to USO's Macy Parade... Smile

I saw a quick mention of the new balloon in the Mickey Monitor, I believe. I know I will have the parade on while cooking!

Thanks for the (indirect) mention. I actually have since posted more information including info on the exclusive Macy's Sailor Mickey plush as well as an actual photo of the balloon inflated.
