Disney and Mickey Mouse. There’s not a more iconic duo than that… well PB&J might be a close second.
Mickey!
In all seriousness, Mickey has been the face of the Walt Disney Company for well over 90 years, but recently, there have been rumors swirling about Disney “retiring” Mickey in 2024. So let’s dive into these rumors, debunk the misinformation, and shed light on the real story. Let’s go!
There is just SO much that happens during the holidays in Disney World.
The Christmas tree at Disney’s Animal Kingdom
There are all the holiday decorations to look at. There are TWO holiday after-hours parties. There are SO MANY new holiday snacks. There’s even a Christmas Tree Stroll in Disney Springs. But we’ll admit that we get really excited when we get to meet characters in their holiday outfits, and we just go to see Mickey and Minnie in some snazzy outfits!
The spooky season is here! Yes, it’s August, but the fall decorations are up in Magic Kingdom, and the first Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is right around the corner.
Happy Halloween!
So when Disney says it’s Halloween, then IT IS HALLOWEEN! We’ve already started to see loads of new Halloween merchandise drop, but wait until you see the new Halloween Loungefly bags we just came across (tip: just go grab your wallet now).
Get ready folks, THE Disney Halloween souvenir of the year is dropping online tomorrow.
Carved pumpkins
In 2022, Disney released a giant light-up Mickey Jack-o-lantern that sold out almost immediately. In 2023, we saw it released again in Walt Disney World, but now we know just when it’ll be available to purchase online (and you’ll want to pay close attention because that release date has actually CHANGED).
Disney World sure knows how to have a good time.
Magic Kingdom
Between holiday parties, birthdays, festivals, and more — there’s almost always some sort of exciting celebration happening in the parks. Right now, we’re in the midst of The Walt Disney Company’s 100th Anniversary and we’ve already seen quite a few new treats, merch, and entertainment — but it looks like more is on the way to Disney World!
Waiting in long lines at Disney World can be tough — but we waited in one on the Fourth of July that was TOTALLY worth it.
EPCOT
Disney has been celebrating the Fourth of July with all kinds of special things — fireworks at Magic Kingdom, fireworks at EPCOT, special snacks, and even a flyover. But there’s one special experience you’ll want to wait for even if the line is long.
Are you ready? Are you excited? It’s BACK!
Garden Grill
No, we’re not talking about the random churro cart in Magic Kingdom or the Refreshment Station in EPCOT. We’re not even talking about the exclusive fireworks show that will return for two days only in Disney World. It’s time to EAT because breakfast is officially back at Garden Grill, bb!
Is there anything more iconic within the Walt Disney Company than Mickey Mouse?
Magician Mickey in Town Square Theater
Mickey has been the star of the Disney show since Steamboat Willie graced our screens in 1928. Since then, the company has been pretty strict about protecting its intellectual property. But soon, the copyright of that animated short will expire. So, what happens then?
A popular activity at Disney World is looking for hidden Mickeys throughout the parks and hotels. There are some pretty amazing secret ones throughout the Resort!

But now, you can bring that magic home and bake a hidden Mickey straight into your cupcakes. How, you may ask? Let us tell you.
