June and July a special Tanabata themed event called Disney Tanabata Days. Tokyo Disney Resort holds many exciting events throughout the year. Tanabata is an annual holiday based on a Chinese legend of two star-crossed lovers, Princess Orihime and Hikoboshi, who were separated by the Milky Way and only able to meet once a year on July 7th. During this event you can find greeting cards and special menus related to this story unique to the Tanabata Disney Resort Event.
TDL: "Tanabata Greetings" Hikoboshi and Orihime Parade!
Mickey and Minnie Mouse appear in full costume replicating the imagined dress-up of Hikoboshi and Orihime, pulled around in a rickshaw as they greet us with a popular Tanabata song, "Tanabata-san." Mickey wears the blue costume of Hikoboshi, while Minnie dons Orihime's lovely pink dress. Joining them in the festivities are a total of 32 of their friends, including Donald and Daisy Duck. In their hands they hold a bamboo stick, also called Tanabata.

TDL/ Wishes Do Come True! Make a Wish at the Wishing Place!
There are two Wishing Places on the Plaza Terrace overlooking Cinderella Castle, one with Mickey and Minnie, another with Daisy and Donald Duck. It is named after the Tanabata custom of hanging "wishing strips" on bamboo leaves, and is decorated with Mickey shaped windsocks and bamboo, true to the unique atmosphere of Tanabata. Write your deepest desires on the wishing cards around the Wishing Place, and watch your dreams come true!
TDL/ Limited Time Only Tanabata Menu!
In establishments such as the Sweetheart Cafe you can get a Souvenir Cup for ¥680 with Mickey and Minnie dressed as Hikoboshi and Orihime. With strawberry scented mousse topped with blue jelly, and star-shaped chocolate decorating the whipped cream, it truly looks like a star floating in the night sky. Mickey and Minnie and Hikoboshi and Orihime on the souvenir cup are also pretty cute.
Another recommendation is the Blue Jelly Shaved Ice, featuring the crisp, refreshing taste of blueberries.

■Blue Jelly Shaved Ice available at: Rackety's Raccoon Saloon
