Video of this years Tanabata Greeting can be viewed here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...6XlcZ6Mk I have to admit this is one of my favourite TDR events as the inspiration comes from Japan. Reason why events like St Patricks Day and St David's Day at Disneyland Paris also rate high. These are events that celebrate local cultures, also Chinese New Years at Hong Kong Disneyland is another great example, as is July the 4th in the US parks.

I haven't been in this year, but I believe there are some other LPers in town right now. Wonder if they saw Mickey and Minnie in their kimonos?? Pluto also has a special cool costume for the event, as does Goofy (Donald, I think, saves his Japanese wear for DisneySea in the show to promote restaurant Sakkura). http://www.resortathome.com/mo...nald.jpg http://cache.daylife.com/image...610x.jpg http://cache.daylife.com/image...340x.jpg

The wishing cards were the color of the 25th anniversary and you could get a special sparkle wish card when ordering one of the Tanabata set menu's. The shaved ice also became available for purchase the first day of this event! It's a little event but it really creates a nice atmosphere and we enjoyed it both with friends and as a family. :)
