From the Disney Blog:

I have great news! On November 26 our very own Sailor Mickey balloon will make his maiden voyage high above the streets of New York in Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Take a look at this exclusive video showcasing the balloon’s journey, from concept to reality.

Here are some fun facts about Sailor Mickey:

• Mickey Mouse was last seen in the Macy’s Parade in 2000 as Bandleader Mickey.
• The Sailor Mickey balloon is approximately 61 feet high, 33 feet wide and 48 feet long. That’s more than six stories tall!
• It takes about 14,000 cubic feet of helium to fill the Sailor Mickey balloon.
• The Sailor Mickey balloon will be guided by a team of 70 volunteers.
