At both parks, you’ll be able to spot some of your favorite Disney characters in a festive “Tanabata Greeting” set to a traditional melody. Mickey and Minnie make a special appearance dressed as Hikoboshi and Orihime, the two star-crossed sweethearts of this festival.
At Tokyo Disneyland, you’ll also find a Wishing Place at the center of World Bazaar, featuring Tanabata decorations with brand new lighting effects. You can take part in the tradition of writing all your hopes, wishes and dreams on Wishing Cards while enjoying the beautiful twinkling atmosphere.
