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?

Unfortunately, probably not. That Disney/Universal rivalry isn’t going away any time soon. =( Wonder if Buzz is back in for a second year in a row or if Mickey’s replacing him.
A MM balloon from Macy’s at Universal? You’re obviously heavily infected with the ID-10-T virus.
I’d be pretty sure the Universal commment was a tongue-in-cheek joke.
Anyway, thanks for the mention and yes, Buzz Lightyear will be part of the parade this year as well.
That last question was hysterical!! Although he may show-up in Marvel Heros Island at IOA? Hmmmmm……
