Tokyo Disney Resort® has announced that the "Tokyo Disney Resort® Special Parade" and the "Duffy Bus" display will return in FY2026, bringing Disney magic to communities across Japan.
During the anniversary event "Tokyo DisneySea® 25th Anniversary 'Sparkling Jubilee'" — running from April 15 (Wed) through March 31, 2027 (Wed) — Disney characters will step outside the parks to perform in local festivals nationwide. Starting with Matsuyama City in Ehime Prefecture on April 4 (Sat), the characters will liven up each parade to the upbeat music of "Jumbo! Let's Goー!!" (Jambori Mickey!), joined by local children dressed in matching shirts inspired by the song. Spectators along the parade route are welcome to dance along and hum the tune.
Alongside each parade, a special "Duffy Bus" will be on display — a bus wrapped in fabric matching Duffy's plush toy. This year's design features "Duffy & Friends' Find Your Beautiful Blue!", depicting Duffy & Friends from Tokyo DisneySea setting off on a search for the color blue, in honor of the 25th anniversary celebration. Visitors can touch the fluffy exterior and take photos together.
The photo shows the 2025 version of the Duffy Bus design.
