Later this year, Mickey Mouse is turning 90 and Disney is looking to celebrate his anniversary in a big way. Not only will there be a two-hour primetime special on ABC, but there will be limited-time celebrations to honor the “big cheese” around the world…on land and at sea.
On Monday, Disney announced the special limited-time celebrations for Mickey’s 90th anniversary, and they look incredible. No matter where you are, you will be able to honor Mickey Mouse and celebrate his birthday/anniversary in awesome fashion.
- Walt Disney World Resort in Florida will celebrate Mickey’s birthday from November 16-18 with special merchandise and food & beverage items as well as the chance for guests to celebrate at Magic Kingdom Park during the “Move It! Shake It! Dance & Play It!” Street Party, sing “Happy Birthday” along with the Dapper Dans on Main Street, U.S.A., and join in a special birthday dance party at Rockettower Plaza Stage in Tomorrowland. Then in 2019, Walt Disney World will continue celebrating when World’s Biggest Mouse Party comes to the resort.

A new interactive art exhibit called “Mickey” The True Original Exhibition” will open on Nov. 8, 2018, in New York, and it will run through Feb. 10, 2019.
“This immersive, pop-up art exhibition is inspired by Mickey’s status as a ‘true original’ and his global impact on popular culture and art. From his beginning in black and white in Steamboat Willie to the technicolor world of more than 100.”
