Fun fact: mickey was supposed to appear in 1983 but during inflation his arm was accidentally ripped off and he later exploded, 22 years later in 2005 he was disposed of. R.I.P mickey 2, 1971-2005
My favorite giant Mickey Mouse giant balloon? I would say it would be a tie between the 2nd and 3rd Mickeys. The 2nd Mickey Mouse Ballon was during my own childhood, it flew to the Mickey Mouse March, and he looked so huggable. I was really sad when he no longer appeared in the parade. For all those 18 years I was ACHING to see another Mickey balloon in Macy's Parade. Then, in the year 2000, I was supremely thrilled to see Mickey come back. And his comeback balloon appearance was the most perfect ever as a bandleader. After all, Bandleader Mickey is as famous as, say, Sorcerer Mickey. And I now have a stuffed toy replica of Bandleader Mickey, straight out of Macy's, in my vast plushie collection. PS: I also collect inflatable toys of Mickey Mouse, and they're precious jewels of mine.
Something tells me Disney and Macy's may bring back Band Leader Mickey in time for Mickey's 90th birthday next year. At least that would be a great surprise to see.
actually the mickey balloon didn't have the 1975 and 1981 incidents but 1978 mickey's ear was bent for some reason ,the 1982 one happened and in 1983... you won't believe what the workers done to mickey....... THEY EXPLODE HIM UP!!!!!!!! FOR kermit in 1985 a tree ripped his stomach ,in 1991 his head was ripped once again by a tree and in 2004 the winds pushed him to the crowd but the workers push him back
Not only did he have a love for puppets, but according to the Puppeteers of America, he was the first nationally known puppeteer in the United States--making him the unofficial father of American Puppetry.
Band Leader Mick is adorable! Definitely my favorite! Cruise Line Mickey is a very close favorite, but mostly because I've been on so many cruises, lol!
According to another video I saw, Disney did get to use two Macy's balloons for personal use. One was Buzz Lightyear, which was used during a D23 Expo. The other was Santa Goofy, which they had floating at Hollywood Studios for a while during the holidays. Other than that, this was an interesting video! I hope to see Mickey return in the parade next year for his 90th birthday. It would be cool if they made him wearing a birthday hat or had him blowing a party blower or something like that. Also, like one person suggested, I'd love to see a video about the history of the Christmas parade. I watch it every year on Christmas morning. :)
it will not reason: MACY'S CARES ABOUT TOOTHLESS FROM HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON NOT WITH MICKEY SINCE THEY DO THIS TO FELIX THE CAT IN 2016 WHEN HE GOT A REDESIGN OF THE 1930 FELIX AND WHY NOT MICKEY?
I'm watching the Rose Parade right now and was wondering if you could do a History of the Evolution of the Rose Parade. I'm very curious as to what some of these floats looked like at the start of the parade's history up to now. If not, maybe a video about the Evolution of Disney Rose Parade floats?
Wow! Thanks for another great episode, Dan. I loved that Sailor Mick quite a bit. Always appreciate a good Miami Vice reference, too. That 1971 Mickey was soooooo 1971 with that shirt! I hope they one day have a Paul Rudish variant. That would be amazing! Maybe they'll do it to promote the upcoming ride at Epcot. By the way, I was thinking an episode about the rise of the churro at the parks could be really interesting. They seem to be such a big part of the park experience, and yet I don't remember them from when I went. Granted, that was thirty years ago at this point. Best. Hope your Thanksgiving was amazing.
Nice vid. TPMvids made a similar video to this a day ago. But I wished I watched your video first because yours has more information and feels more life like. When I watch TPMvids it's like I'm watching a watchmojo video 😂. Great Job
Bandleader is also my favorite also note a mistake you made is that you sed Mickey Mouse clubhouse instead of Mickey Mouse club but still good job with the video
Hey, if you ever wanted to do a sequel to this video, here's an idea for you: The Craziest Moments in the Disney Parks Parades. You could include stuff like Alan Thicke's duet with the Ninja Turtles in the 1990 parade, all the times Herbie tried to mess with the mechanics, Bear from the Big Blue House doing the cha cha cha with the visibly nervous kids in the 2002 parade, Santa's elves taking on the Harlem Globetrotters in the 1997 parade (actually, most of the '97 parade could make that list), the antics of the Whose Line cast in the 2000 parade but not really a parade, and in light of his recent passing, a whole slue of clips of Regis doing ridiculous things. It would be easy to do too since Sam's Video Diary has posted all the parades online now, and no doubt you'd make the video insanely fun in the process.
Was there ever anything based on Oswald the rabbit things like balloons, merch, anything? i didn't even know about Oswald until the release of Epic Mickey.
When Walt Disney and Tony Sarg teamed up in 1934, it was the Goodyear Tire And Rubber Company that made the first two Mickey balloons.In the 1975 parade, heavy downpours and strong winds caused several of the balloons to get punctured.Mickey made the finish line in Herald Sqaure that year and was completely intact.Should be noted that the 2nd verison of Mickey was slated to fly in the 1983 event, but on inflation eve that night, Mickey's arm exploded due to being over inflated.It was because of that he was unable to fly and was quickly grounded.
Disney Dan , the 1983 incident made the local news.A friend of mine who has been working inflation eve for the past 37 yrs told me that it was a loud burst when Mickey's arm was over inflated that night.
I think the evolution of Mickey Mouse stuffed animals would be a good idea
Drew’s anything Odyssey Can he do that?
Drew
And the evolution of Mickey Mouse video games
Nicely done! Yea I agree, bandleader Mickey was probably the best balloon
+TPMvids Happy Thanksgiving T! Hopefully he will make a magical great return one day. Haha
TPMvids hihihi I big fan. Happy turkey day!!!!
TPM it's you!
Your videos are awesome p.s big fan of you TPM !!!
im in canada so our thanksgiving is actully on october 11, it sounds strange but at least we get it earlier
MINNIE MOUSE IS JOINING THE PARADE THIS YEAR!!!
I love the first balloon because it was the only balloon created by the man himself... just so interesting to hear Walt helped Macy’s
Me too.

4:06 This reminds me of a Plague Doctor and a Gas Mask. My reaction was "Anybody got a match?"
I remember Sailor Mickey, but MMC Mickey is DEFINITELY MY FAVORITE!!!
Which one the first one they showed or the sailor Mickey was actually the the first one he showed
You know what I like all of them actually!
Happy Thanksgiving, Disney Dan, and everyone else in the comments section! =)
+Baby Lamb Creations thanks Baby Lamb! You too!
Disney Dan happy thanks giving I’m ur biggest fan you the best I love Disney!!!!!😁

Baby Lamb Creations im not in the thanksgiving spirit but thanks anyways?
Something tells me Disney and Macy's may bring back Band Leader Mickey in time for Mickey's 90th birthday next year. At least that would be a great surprise to see.
You made me hungry. Edit: Poor Mickey, Poor Rudolph, Poor Barney, Poor Kermit. 😥
Guideguy A Sonic Balloon also crashed into a lamppost and landed on two people.
Guideguy NOT POOR BARNEY
i made a comment of poor barney
actually the mickey balloon didn't have the 1975 and 1981 incidents but 1978 mickey's ear was bent for some reason ,the 1982 one happened and in 1983... you won't believe what the workers done to mickey....... THEY EXPLODE HIM UP!!!!!!!!
FOR kermit in 1985 a tree ripped his stomach ,in 1991 his head was ripped once again by a tree
and in 2004 the winds pushed him to the crowd but the workers push him back
Pour sonic
A floating anchor? How ironic.
+Jackson Stewart Missed joke opportunity.
Jackson Stewart I laughed so hard when I read your comment.
Thanksgiving Day parades are so cool
I can’t help but laugh when I see the balloons breaking and just flailing around everywhere
Pretty cool to know how popular Mickey already was in the 1930s
You should do a Distory on the various Christmas parades Disney has had on television for a Christmas video. My favourite is Bandleader Mickey as well
I have a stuffed toy of the 2009 Sailor Mickey! I remember buying him as a Kohl’s one night, he still sits on my bed to this day :)
Not only did he have a love for puppets, but according to the Puppeteers of America, he was the first nationally known puppeteer in the United States--making him the unofficial father of American Puppetry.
im going there in new york sity! and you are the best disney dan!
Disney Dan is the best because he tells about the Disney history. Do not mess with Dan!
2:04 Mickey Balloon of 1934 , my fave🎀🎈no make up on. But all that march reminds me of the famous chinesse festival.
Band Leader Mick is adorable! Definitely my favorite! Cruise Line Mickey is a very close favorite, but mostly because I've been on so many cruises, lol!
"mick",STICK WITH MICK??
I would SO like to see the evolution of Piglet walk around characters at Disney parks!
9:00 Hey that's a cool double-whamy shot, branding-wise! The Mickey parade balloon almost looks like he is saluting Lion King Broadway show!
tony sark?
Tony stark..?
"Vengeance is mine! You are all ants, and I am your destroyer!! Ha-ha!"
My favourite balloons has got to be the 2000 and 2009 variants. What about you, Disney Dan?
+CYX 23 Band leader Mickey of course!

it will not
reason: MACY'S CARES ABOUT TOOTHLESS FROM HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON NOT WITH MICKEY
SINCE THEY DO THIS TO FELIX THE CAT IN 2016 WHEN HE GOT A REDESIGN OF THE 1930 FELIX AND WHY NOT MICKEY?
Do a vid on some of the alice in Wonderland characters (white rabbit)
"Thanksgiving is tomorrow. I'm tired. I need to go to bed to survive."
"NEW DISNEY DAN VIDEO CLICKING THAT RIGHT AWAY"
+Bluegoo hahahaha! Thanks for watching!
Hahahahhahahaha SAME THING FOR ME
Hahahahahahahahaha yah
I want to see tigger costume history and there's a lot of lack of distory videos
Oswald and ortensia Is awesome!!!!! I think its because there's some things in Disney what's to short
+Oswald and ortensia Is awesome!!!!! We had a lot going on the past few weeks. New weekly videos are coming back starting today!
Disney Dan I love Mickey Mouse clubhouse! BTW. I wasn’t alive when Mickey Mouse club aired
6:20 THIS IS WHY BARNEY STOPPED
Watching the ‘98 Macy’s parade and they had a Bug’s Life performance for the movie release. Would love to see a video on the costumes used for these!
I'm watching the Rose Parade right now and was wondering if you could do a History of the Evolution of the Rose Parade. I'm very curious as to what some of these floats looked like at the start of the parade's history up to now. If not, maybe a video about the Evolution of Disney Rose Parade floats?
I'm Not First, I'm Not Last But when Disney Dan Posts, I click Fast!
I like the parade looking mickey
I'm kind of surprised they managed to do those parades during the 1930's, because of the great depression
Sailor Mickey Balloon is my Favorite !
Mickey Mouse Looks Cute in his Sailor Outfit
Happy Thanksgiving Disney Dan. The sailor Mickey was my favorite.
+Martin Craw You too Martin!
You will not also believe this, but Cassie from DragonTales made a FREAKING APPEARANCE IN THE MACY'S THANKSGIVING DAY PARADE.
Yeah we don’t care, we only care about Mickey
Wow! Thanks for another great episode, Dan. I loved that Sailor Mick quite a bit. Always appreciate a good Miami Vice reference, too. That 1971 Mickey was soooooo 1971 with that shirt!

My favorite was the one from 2000 and also happy thanksgiving dan
I was born in the 1950s grew up watching Mickey Mouse Club love Bandleader Mickey!
Great video Disney Dan! Keep up your good work there!
I kinda think the first one is lowkey cute. And in my opinion, the sailor Mickey was my favorite.
How iconic 2009 was The Best year of Mickey Mouse balloons.
Happy Thanksgiving Dan
Me: balloon party
Mom: but we don't have balloons
Me: but Disney Dan made a video of Mickey mouse balloons
Yep band Mickey is deffinately one that should come back.
6:18 RIP Barney LOL
I hope you had a great Thanksgiving, Disney Dan!
A video I'd like to see is the evolution of Tigger in the Disney parks!
Hey DisneyDan can you look at the evolution of the seven dwarf costumes in the theme parks in the next episode of DIStory
I like the first one!!!
Cruiseline Mickey is sooo cute.
I like the band and the Sailor one.
I love you videos Disney Dan
Thank You for the video and the shout out.
Was that scene with what happened to the Barney balloon from the video, "The Day Barney Died"?
+Minnie Dash haha I forget what year it was but the wind was so strong it destroyed the balloon just from the ropes that hold it down.
Disney Dan It was 1997
Disney Dan It Was From 1997

Would you do a costume evolution of the Mad Hatter? I saw from few pics that he was a mascot once.
I like the disney cruise Mickey and SpongeBob SquarePants balloon
Can you do a video on all of the Disney afternoon costumes?
Hey, if you ever wanted to do a sequel to this video, here's an idea for you: The Craziest Moments in the Disney Parks Parades.
