Happiness is Here Parade

Happiness is Here Parade was a daytime parade from Tokyo Disneyland that ran from 2013 to 2018.
==History==
The parade began in honor of Tokyo Disneyland's 30th anniversary and featured Disney characters, cheerful music, and themed parade floats. It replaced Jubilation!.
Starting March 21, 2014, the parade went on without show stops and removed the "30" from the final float.
==Parade units==
*Opening: Goofy leads the way on a pink, stylized horse. The Three Little Pigs pull an oversized Mickey Mouse drum toy. Pinocchio leads a magical train over a piano, with Sleepy and Grumpy as passengers. Other characters featured in this unit include Clarabelle Cow and Horace Horsecollar, characters from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Dumbo.
*The Aristocats Unit: Based on the 1970 animated film. Marie plucks an oversized violin with her brother Berlioz by her side, while Toulouse features on the back. A purple player piano is the major feature of this float.
*Joy of Friendship Unit: Lilo and Stitch lead this unit aboard pastel-colored seahorses. They are followed by puppet versions of Nemo and Gill. Marlin and Dory appear in the mouth of Nigel on the next float. The Toy Story pals conclude the unit aboard their own float; Slinky and Mr. Potato Head pedal an enormous bicycle, which Jessie and Rex sit in the basket of, while Woody and Buzz Lightyear dance atop a "Woody's Roundup" record player behind them.
*Wish Unit: Based on the 1992 animated film Aladdin. Genie's horse, which precedes the unit, is designed to look like a stylized camel. He is followed by a number of genies and spirits. Prince Ali, Jasmine and their pages are carried by Abu, as transformed into an elephant. They are followed by a small band of Arabian-dressed dancers.
*Beauty Unit: Presenting the Disney Princesses and Disney Fairies. Rapunzel appears first on Maximus with a pink mane. She is followed by The Ugly Duckling and a few pink flower dancers. Cinderella, Aurora, and Belle follow on an ornately-decorated swan float; this is attached to the fairy garden float, which features Tinker Bell and two fair friends. More fairies and bugs round out the unit.
*Mysterious Unit: Based on the 1951 animated film Alice in Wonderland. In the vein of the previous horse and camel floats, Alice rides the butterfly version of her curious Caterpillar. The Mad Hatter and a number of tea party guests follow her; the hatter pushes a small float featuring paper-cutout versions of himself and the March Hare. The King of Hearts leads a procession of various unique characters, including an enormous float version of the Queen of Hearts, her playing card subjects, and Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum.
*Dream Unit: Based on the 1977 and 2011 animated films The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh and Winnie the Pooh, Rabbit kicks off the unit aboard a pink and yellow Woozle. A large bandleader Heffalump leads a small procession of honeybee dancers. Tigger and Winnie the Pooh ride atop honey jars overflowing with Pooh's favorite snack, while stationary versions of Piglet and Eeyore float beneath them.
*Finale: The parade culminates in a tribute to Disney's classic characters and the 1964 musical film Mary Poppins. Mary Poppins and Bert lead the final unit on identical horses to those they ride in Disneyland's Mickey's Soundsational Parade, which are in the same design as the horses used throughout this parade. A few penguins follow them. Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Pluto, Chip and Dale ride the next float, which is an enormous vista featuring a carousel, canopies, and an oversized doll version of Minnie Mouse on the back. A squad of chimney sweeps leads the way for the final float, which features Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse aboard a giant hot air balloon made out of Mickey Mouse balloons. The balloon is held up by an oversized doll of Goofy, and similar giant dolls of Mickey and Donald wave goodbye to the guests. This is followed by the NTT Docomo Sponsor Float.

==After being replaced==
After the parade was replaced with the 35th anniversary parade Dreaming Up!, the Mickey Mouse drum toy from the opening unit was relocated to Disneyland: California Adventure and used for the returning daytime parade Mickey's Soundsational Parade, in honor of Mickey Mouse’s 90th birthday celebration. The float is still intact and continues to appear in calvicades and greetings.
The Finding Nemo and Toy Story floats from the Joy of Friendship Unit were relocated to Hong Kong Disneyland and are used for Pixar Water Play Street Party!. Both floats still run and the parade continues seasonally.
The show-stop music with five songs (Tokyo Disneyland is Your Land, Mickey Mouse March, Heigh Ho, It's a Small World, and the last lyric of Happiness is Here chorus) returned during the Special Greeting after reopened the park after being temporarily closed during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Any floats not bought were scrapped and the bases/chassis were reused for Tokyo Disneyland's 40th anniversary parade "Disney's Harmony In Color".
==Main Chorus Lyrics==
Joy out of the blue (Out of the blue) 
Smiles inside of you (Inside of you) 
Like a child again
With Mickey and friends
Jump, shout
And let it all out
Sparkles in your eyes (in your eyes)
Suddenly feel alive (feel alive)
Cause Happiness
The magic of happiness
Is here
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh 
Come on, let's go (let's go)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh 
Happiness is here
Jump, jump, jump
Shout, shout, shout
Just turn and spin
And give us a grin
Jump, shout
And let it all out
Jump, jump, jump
Dance, dance, dance
Let your heart fly
And we'll go on and on and on and on and on and on
Happiness is here
