Along with a new fireworks show in Magic Kingdom, a new attraction opening in EPCOT, and shiny new outfits for Mickey and pals, we now know one character will make an appearance as a golden sculpture in the Magic Kingdom!
Surprise! It’s our old pal, Mickey! Check out the announcement, brought to you by Bret Iwan, who plays the voice of Mickey Mouse himself. Mickey is just one of 50 characters that you will be able to find in all four of the Walt Disney World parks. We can’t wait to see what other characters will be around!
Disney announced that the Mickey and Minnie Mouse sculptures are dedicated to Disney Cast Members of the past, present, and future. Mickey certainly looks ready to celebrate!
