Although a cloudy day in April, and a little chilly from the morning drizzle, the temperature seemed a bit higher at Tokyo Disneyland, where many had come to enjoy a new parade, "Jubilation!" created to mark the park's 25th anniversary.

Among the kids holding hands with their parents, the students on school trips and the couples on their first date, was Ayano Kato, a college student from Saitama Prefecture, who joyfully clasped her hands together as she watched Mickey and Minnie parade before Cinderella Castle.

"I come here about two or three times a year," said Kato, who was visiting with a friend. "I like that I can be in a different world here."
