Hat
Size: 605 7/8…and Mickey Mouse, to scale, would have to be 350 feet
tall to wear it. The Sorcerer Mickey’s hat, the icon for the 100 Years
of Magic celebration, represents “fun and mischievousness,” said Walt
Disney Imagineer Roger Holzberg. The gargantuan hat is 100 feet tall
– rising 122 feet in the air resting atop mouse ears, and weighs in
at a whopping 27 tons!
Suite
of Dreams…The 100 Years of Magic celebration even has its own musical
composition, with four movements representing each of the four theme
parks. Fantasy (Magic Kingdom), Discovery (Epcot), Show Business (Disney-MGM
Studios), and Adventure (Disney’s Animal Kingdom). A fifth movement
is the overall theme song, “Share a Dream Come True.” Noted composer
Gavin Greenaway (Tapestry of Nations) penned the Fantasy movement, while
John Debney (Emperor’s New Groove) wrote the Adventure piece. Other
composers are under consideration for remaining movements. It’s the
job of veteran Disney producer Steve Skorija to pull it all together
as the music is recorded in London and Los Angeles. The CD will be released
this fall.
Disney’s
Magical Moments Pins…These amazing, high-tech twinkling pins – five
in all, one for each theme park and one exclusively for the 100 Years
of Magic Celebration – will “magically” illuminate during parades, fireworks
shows and select theme park attractions. Guests may purchase the pins
at locations across Walt Disney World.
Discover
the Stories Behind the Magic…for the 100 Years of Magic celebration,
each of the four Walt Disney World theme parks will feature new Discover
the Stories Behind the Magic interactive kiosks. The kiosks will offer
games and trivia specific to each park that touch upon the dreams and
events that inspired various chapters of Disney history. For instance,
in the Magic Kingdom, one of the questions: If Mickey’s Toontown Fair
had been created in 1928, what would have it been called? Answer: Mortimer’s
Toontown Fair, as Mortimer was Walt’s original name for Mickey Mouse
until wife Lillian suggested Mickey.
