Happy Thanksgiving from WDW Radio!

Did you watch the 83rd annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade from New York City yesterday? If so, I’m sure that one of your favorite new balloons (and mine as well), was the Sailor Mickey, courtesy of Disney Cruise Line.

The Sailor Mickey balloon made his maiden voyage high above the streets of New York City as he represents Disney Cruise Line. Millions of Parade goers and television viewers watched the Sailor Mickey helium balloon make its Parade debut, which also marks the first time Disney Cruise Line has been represented in the Parade.
Ever wonder how one of these fascinating balloons is made? Wonder no more..
