Walt Disney World Guests Can Enjoy 75 "InspEARations" of Mickey Mouse Through April

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- In honor of Mickey Mouse's 75th anniversary, 75 of his friends have created a once-in-a-lifetime tribute called "Celebrate Mickey: 75 InspEARations," an artistic showcase on display at the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World Resort through April 2004.

Unveiled at the theme park in grand fashion on Nov. 18, 2003 -- 75 years to the day Mickey made his debut in "Steamboat Willie" -- 75 statues of Mickey Mouse salute the remarkable career of the beloved Disney icon.

The "Celebrate Mickey: 75 InspEARations" program brings together Disney Legends, artists, actors, athletes and musicians who lent their creative inspiration to uniquely designed statues of the famous mouse -- each standing six feet tall and weighing 700 pounds.

All 75 statues will be on display around the Magic Kingdom's entrance through April 2004. Afterward, they'll visit cities across the United States and the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, Calif. Sotheby's will auction every statue in 2005 with all proceeds benefiting charities chosen by each artist.

We were there!!! The statues are really fun! Michael Eisner was there for the big unveiling as well as lots of press coverage. Surprisingly the park wasn't crowded at all. I was also quite surprised at how few people even knew what the statues were for. One big perk... they had an unannounced early opening. We got there at about 8:45 and went right in. Too bad we weren't there earlier! My DD's b-day is the 19th. I went in the hospital to have her on the 18th but she missed Mickey's b-day by 3 hours! It was fun celebrating at Magic Kingdom and seeing the statues.

Thanks for the info, Mickey! I hope they will have smaller, affordable ones available for purchase.
