Where did ya
go, Mickey?

Walt Disney World
After making 12 detours around the world, Mickey Mouse finally arrived in Florida. He made an extra special stop at Give Kids The World Village to share joy and toys with children facing critical illnesses and their families alongside Disney VoluntEARS and the Disney Ambassadors of Walt Disney World, Shannon Smith-Conrad and Serena Arvizu.
Then, it was time for Mickey Mouse to officially complete his mission with a final stop at Walt Disney World where he joined dozens of cast members and local Marines on Main Street, U.S.A. in Magic Kingdom.
While the original mission was for Mickey to deliver toys (which he did), Disney World cast members had a surprise for him … they had been collecting toys for local kids in need for weeks as part of the Disney Ultimate Toy Drive supporting Toys for Tots.
Thanks to the toys Mickey delivered and those collected by cast, we’re able to share some extra special holiday happiness with Florida families in need.
So, how did everyone celebrate Mickey’s journey around the world? A parade down Main Street complete with the Philharmonic Band!
