Mickey Joins The Parade
The magical procession returns to the Big
Apple this November as the 83rd Annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade kicks
off the holiday season. On Thursday, November 26, 2009 at 9:00am at the sound
of Let's Have a Parade, America's favorite holiday spectacular will step off
with its signature giant helium balloons, floats of fantasy, marching bands,
clowns, celebrity and large performance groups, and the one-and-only Santa
Claus.
Making their Turkey Day debuts this year are four of America's best loved
characters and three spectacular moving stages that will transport audiences
to world's of fantasy. These new giant balloons and floats are sure to become
Parade favorites for the more than 3.5 million spectators lining the streets
of New York City and for 50 million viewers watching the pageantry on
television nationwide.
The 83rd edition of the Macy's Parade will not only feature fantastic new
elements and fan favorites, it will also mark a milestone moment in Parade
history. Having marched down parts of Broadway for 82 years, the 2009
procession will be the first to bypass Broadway in the long running march.
Over the years the Macy's Parade route has changed five times traveling
through several different paths, from having initially stepped off in Harlem
to its current 77th Street launch, the route has changed with the times.
The 2009 Macy's Parade will begin at 77th Street and Central Park West, travel
down to Columbus Circle where it will turn onto Central Park South. Once the
Parade reaches 7th Avenue it will turn once more and march down 7th Avenue
through Times Square to 42nd Street. At the famed intersection it will turn
east to 6th Avenue and begin its final march down the Avenue of the Americas
to 34th Street where it will turn towards Macy's famed flagship and end at 7th
Avenue marking a 2.65-mile march.
Joining returning favorites, the following new stars of the Macy's Parade
line-up will delight millions of spectators in their first proud procession
through New York City to Macy's Herald Square.
SAILOR MICKEY
DISNEY CRUISE LINE
Ahoy matey! Get on board the ultimate family cruise with Sailor Mickey at the
helm. Sporting his nautically inspired red, white and blue sailor gear, Mickey
will salute the crowds as he rides down the Parade route. Sailing aboard an
anchor that is approximately four times the size of an actual cruise ship
anchor, Mickey measures 48.1-feet long, 33.6-feet wide and 60.9-feet tall.
Sailor Mickey will be filled with 14,750 cubic feet of helium on his maiden
voyage on Thanksgiving Day.
