For the fourth year in a row, Sailor Mickey Mouse will chart a course along New York’s Central Park, through Columbus Circle, down 6th Avenue and arriving at Macy’s Herald Square, as the 61-foot-high balloon takes part in the 86th Annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

The 600-pound balloon, which also measures 33 feet wide and 48 feet long, requires 14,000 cubic feet of helium and two hours of inflation time.

  • My family and I loved seeing the Mickey balloon! 🙂 And the Kermit and Buzz ones too, but Mickey was one of my favorites.

  • Buzz will be in the parade as well, I do believe.

  • We were able to go to the parade last year, and watched as the baloons were inflated on Wednesday night. I was really excited to see Mickey float down the route. I was also able to get a picture with Buzz when he was still tethered to the ground

  • How come you guys only mention Mickey? What about the Kermit balloon? Isn’t that going to be in the parade as well this year?
