Above was as we walked into Downtown Disney, greeted by cheering groups..
And then it was time to collect some freebies, get food and try to relax, as more and more walkers poured into the area..

Thanks for sharing your pictures! I've never seen the Jack and Sally characters before. What a great cause and what a special place to do the walk.

That would be the Orange Stinger.. This classic swing ride looks like a gigantic half-peeled California orange filled with bumblebees. I've never tried that one, for some reason..

LOL about the ears.. I usually hate wearing hats, though I carry a floppy hat to wear in the roaring rapids to keep hair dry but being the team was Disney VoluntEARS I figured some ears of some sort were in order.. when I went to the park with TNT I scoped out various possibilities and settles on those little Minnie ears on a headband. I was amazed at how comfortable and stable they were! Considering that there were approx 15,000 registered walkers (VERY young kids came along free, and then there were many Disney employees there getting ready for work and clapping as we went by, and many characters too. My pics of Woody and Buzz Lightyear and some Jedi warriors and others didn't come out .. there were also the big cars from Cars and a big Ursula along the way and other cheer teams, Bell Hops outside the Tower of Terror, ride operators, custodians, pirates, musical groups.. but it still was very uncrowded which was nice.

Sea those are awesome pics! You look so happy in the first two with your ears and balloon (those things will last forever if you keep them out of the ceiling fan, lol, and they have a garuntee on them for something like 24 or 48 hours that if they break or lose helium you can go back in that time and get a new one...found that out last time we went and Kota was complaining to the vendor about her last one breaking.)

Thanks, Sandy! My ceiling fan is dead and my balloon is going strong! Right Now:
I've never had a balloon there and, to be honest, it really is a PITA at times.. but for the parade I loved having one, and for free! And I just got email for our team.. we raised $110,000!! And our team photo!! http://adisneyland.disney.go.com/media/dlr_v0200/en_US/misc/CHOCTeam06.jpg

Next to me is the nice Disney employee.. just a very enthusiastic, friendly, happy young man, who can't wait until he's worked there long enough to apply for other jobs that involve acting. He did an internship in Orlando and is now working on a couple of rides in CA. In back of him is his mom to the left of the crop, and his little brother, who was fun, too. Below him is one of the Disney VPs and below me is a nice young woman who had cute kids.

LOL Sea, I'm a pro with those balloons, Dakota gets one every year. She has to wait til we're done with rides and shopping, then we struggle to keep it low in the car on the ride home, then (and this never ever fails) we walk in the house and she promptly finds a ceiling fan. I don't think she's ever had one that's lasted past the next morning, yet she loves them and spends her own money on them. That's a great team pic!

One thing I loved was how the balloon pulsed with music, especially the gospel choir outside House of Blues.
